More Suns Up

Our Northampton condo had 3 sun areas – behind the dining room table, in the first floor bathroom, and outside and right inside the front door. We hung the dining room suns up as soon as we moved here but that’s as far as we got. This week we hung the front door suns. Since we live on the 11th floor and don’t have an outdoors we hung the outdoor ones right inside the front door.

My youngest sister bought the oil can one but not exactly as a present. She said something like, “I already bought your birthday present so you’ll have to pay me for this sun I bought you.” I was a bit taken aback but I’m glad I did. I love it and it actually looks better here than it did on our outside shingles. The two green ones also hung outside. The top one was a gift from my Pennsylvania brother in law who wins the prize for person who has given us the most suns. The bottom one is from one of the Baby Group Moms.

The suns that hung together right inside our front door in Northampton now hang in our entry closet a few feet down the hall.

I’m pretty sure the key holder is from my Maryland in laws who have also given us a lot of suns and the one over the coat hooks is another one from my Pennsylvania brother in law. It is a replica of an antique fire insurance mark.

I’m so glad we finally hung these suns up. We haven’t hung the colorful ones that were in the downstairs bathroom yet and we may never hang them here. However, when we first moved in I was happy we had a place to hang our first purchased original piece of art. We bought it in Buffalo and I don’t even know when we hung it last but now it’s around the corner from the entry closet and it’s great to see it again!
