Black and white photos of my family...My favorite glass pedestal...One of my favorite silver clocks I collect...An old bottle I collected along the way...And my favorite red faux flowers...Oh, and plastic silver forks that I kept as a memory of a fun lunch I had with my family, not too long ago...
Simple...yet it says so much...Displays can be of anything...and you can display them any which way you choose...If you dare to take the risk to decorate with things you love...You may come up with something magical...something that uplifts and inspires you...something that makes you smile...Isn't that what decorating is all about? The feeling it creates inside of you?
I chose to tuck my display in my vintage picnic basket...even though you can't see everything immediately...The magic of peeking in to see the treasured pieces is so magically to me...
Each time I pass by my summer display, I smile...I smile because it is a reflection...
A reflection of moments...A reflection of things I love and because it is a reflection of me...
It is a sign to slow down, take a breath and enjoy this summer as though it were the last...
Last chance to say what it is that makes life so beautiful...without even having to say a word... We don't know our path or if tomorrow will ever come...So let's treasure this moment that we know we have for sure and celebrate the simple beauty we have all around us...
So, what would you display...if you threw caution to the wind and just decorated for you?
I dare you to gather all your treasures together and create a display that reflects who you are, who your family is and how grateful you are to have them...
