Hey Friends, Happy November!
I think most of us who blog do so partly as a photo "diary" of sorts. As much as to share with you all what and how we're decorating our homes and what we're up to in life, we do blog as a way to remind our own selves about what our life looks and feels like through the seasons and the years.
Before each new season I like to go back through my posts of previous years to jog my memory of items, vignettes, and the feel of my decor. And as I've said before, I like to peek in on other blogger's archives and see what they were doing in past years. Pinterest is a great source, but if you want some real inspiration, take some time and go back through some of your favorite blogs with a label search, like "Thanksgiving" and "Christmas", then see what amazing posts come up.
About seven years ago, I had an idea to create my own seed boxes. I had just bought an original one and spent more money than I'd intended. I realized I had a bunch of boxes the right size and shape and a lot of vintage seed package graphics. So I put them together with some Mod Podge and came up with a few fun ways to decorate with a vintage garden theme. I made one that had a more autumn feel.
I don't think I've used this one in a few years,
so I located it in a stack of vintage boxes and
filled it up with a few vintage Fall elements.
Vintage garden elements are good throughout the year, not just Spring and Summer.
Some of my favorite images are of Fall and Winter Gardens.
I added some micro lights to the box display, but they don't really do it justice.
The photos always come out looking too yellowish,
but it is really pretty at night.
My vintage turkey salt and peppers are getting a workout this year.
They've been flapping from the Holiday Cupboard
on over here to the Baker's Rack!
