wow
Thanks so much for the nice comments and all the wall hanging advice! There were so many good suggestions, I'm so glad I asked! I'm sure one of these ideas (or a combination of a few) will work. I'll show you the results when I've figured it out.I got these exquisite birthday cards at a local Salvation Army, in the "Bric-a-Brac" section, I think (click on the image to see it larger). I have a profound love for this sort of late 60s/early 70s design, the stuff directed at girls that was typically pink, more pink, yellow, lime green and white. It often had a Victorian flair, mixed with a bit of psychedelia, and can be a little tacky. In a good way. The Brady girls' bedroom is a good example of this trend, and you also see it in greeting cards, posters, and stuffed animals from that time. I love this stuff!
I'm really inspired by these color combinations - especially now that the weather's a little nicer!
