Silhouettes

So, the latest of the lates of my obsessive obsessions

just happens to come in the form of a silhouette.

I am wanting to use these all over my house!

These can be left hanging forever, and have a classic appeal

vs.

the senior picture left hanging even when said senior is now 46 with a high schooler of her own.

(just not the same affect)

Love them in groupings,

love them alone.

Love them in frames,

or directly on the wall.

My mind is racing with ideas to use them in entertaining!

I want to have a garden party just to use them.

And if you know me, you know I probably will.

Sorry to the hubby.

Remember the little mention that I collect vintage jewelry?

Well, I think getting me a couple of these to layer would actually be saving money.

Ya' know, two for one!

Again, sorry to the hubby.

A modern twist.

Aahhh, but the classic. Perfection.

This is actually making me drool. Actually!

I am so hopelessly obsessed with the silhouette

that even the logo for one of my shoppes Little LuLu's is a child's silhouette.

I know, being obsessive is not always a good thing, but I only pick out the good things to be obsessed about, so ya' know, it makes it all good.

Cloche Encounters

I am a collector.

I love the thrill of the hunt, and I love new and creative ways to display my collections.

So, in my quest to marry my collections to displays I fell truly, madly, deeply in love with all that is cloche.

Here are just a few that make my heart skip a beat! Can you even imagine going to a tag sale in the french countryside, and walking up to this? Hows about a metal cloche?

If I had a green house, I think I would love the idea of green glass in my green house. Celebrating all that my green thumb could do! Alas, I do not have a green house, I do not have green glass, and I certainly do not have a green thumb.

I know it is not even near Christmas, and the last thing we want to think about is decorating for said holiday, but holy holiday this is a great grouping of cloches.

I love the idea of growing a garden and rushing out before a frost to cover my plants with my collection of cloches. Hey, wait a minute the cloche was not supposed to become a collection, but a way to display an existing collection. How did that happen? Oh yeah, I am a collector, and it is just part of my nature that can not possibly be helped.

How about a little funky modern to the mix!

Such a modern twist on an old faithful!

no need for words here....

Did I mention I collect old scales for my kitchen?

How about a little Asian twist on the cloche?

I am a shoppe keeper, so this just tickled my fancy as a great way to display the candles we sell.

So sweet when paired with a desert pedestal....

Did I mention that I collect old clocks?

I would love this on my dining table for Spring. Notice the mushrooms. A great alternative to the expected flower.I think this is my favorite of all.

LOVE this industrial look paired with the architectural pieces and again with my old clock collection.

I feel an office make-over coming on!
