Where Does It Go?

It always amuses me when people on Instagram talk about searching for art for their walls or objects for their shelves because here it’s more a matter of trying to find places for the things we just happen to acquire!

Recently, I had to find places for my Easter gifts – the yellow cast iron bird and the small purple flower tray.  The yellow bird ended up on top of the CD cabinet.  There were some birds there already and yellow in the art above the cabinet, so it seemed like the right place.

And the little purple flower tray with its purple flowers and gold edge seemed to belong on top of the shelves with the purplish glass vase and gold bowl.

Another object we acquired recently is a small ceramic bowl. We really did simply acquire it because when we bought a ceramic cup at an open studio event, we were given the small bowl as well. It seemed to belong on the sideboard as it was the perfect size for the small eggs that didn’t really have a place to be, and since it goes well with the ceramic bowl my husband made as a child, it will look good there even after we put the eggs away.

And then there are all the things I make! It took a bit of book rearranging, but my latest cross stitch piece found a home on the small bookcase.

I’ll write more about this piece in my next post!
