I WANNA live there Wednesday # 149

Good morning everyone !

This week we're visiting an historic home in Nashville - owned by singer/songwriter Holly Williams and her husband Chris Coleman - a musician and artist.
Although she's the granddaughter of Hank Williams and daughter of Hank Jr..............she credits her Mother for her love of interior design.

Lets step inside her home, shall we?

Hope you all have the most wonderful of Wednesdays - winter has finally hit Montreal this week - we're headed into a deep freeze here !

Hugs,
Me

A SWEETHEART BANNER

Good morning everyone !

Well my overkill craft dilemma ( otherwise known as my OCD )  has gone into full gear this last week and I've gone banner or garland crazy
( what's the difference between the two - does anyone know? )

This latest one was created for my daughter's girlfriend's baby's ( ok that's just too many apostraphes for me to handle in the morning ) first birthday party - which falls on Valentine's day !


I'm not crafty - really I'm not - so you won't be seeing a lot of this type of thing here - except I bought a pad of construction paper so God only knows what's going to be happening - the scissors are flying my friends LOL !

First I cut out my hearts - making 2 holes on top to thread the ribbon through.


Next I cut out 2 little pieces of ribbon and glued them on


Next came a few layers of foam hearts that I've had for well over a hundred years - I actually sewed these on to the construction paper


and then covered that thread with stick on " diamonds " because they're a girl's best friend - even if she's only turning 1  ( again with the apostraphe's ??? )



So those plus the " faux " tin heart ones I did HERE


AND the teddy bear ones I'm working on now


Oh and did I mention the tag garland I made a couple of weeks ago?


John thought this next one was a bunch of fancy A's................. please tell me you recognize it


Does this mean it'll be a banner year for Simply Vintageous ???

Or a garland year ?


Anyway I have to run because I just had the most incredible idea for another one !!!
Have a wonderful day everyone
It's official - I'm on instagram now - there's a button on the upper right hand side :)
Talk soon
