My Photos (W/E 7-9-11)

I took quite a lot of photos last week.  My husband was off more than usual because of the holiday, so we tackled some projects, including a little redecorating in our dining area.  Since I was taking photos of that . . . well, let's put it this way . . . when I already have my camera out, nobody is safe.

Ruby Tuesday: Strong and Dependable

We have this wonderful, but extremely heavy, ceramic plaque that has the hand prints of our three children on it under a glaze. It truly is a treasured keepsake. To keep it from falling to the ground and breaking into pieces we had to use a very strong screw to hang it up. The large screw together with the extra wide gross grain ribbon hanger really does an excellent job of keeping our treasure safely in place on the wall.

Brocade of Red

This ribbon came off gift wrapped item I had ordered from Novica, which is a site that sells all fair trade gifts. This ribbon stood out to me because the rest of the wrapping was so primitive. The paper looked like it was homemade, as did the cardboard used to protect the item. Then here we have this elaborate burgundy ribbon with gold shimmering embroidery. It just did seem to mesh with the rest of the other wrapping materials.
