Homework and Vintage Postcards

Hello friends!

I am a follower and an avid reader of Marley and Lockyer and when Ness assigned a little homework to her readers-I was ready.

Bonus: She's having a give away !


She asked her readers to take a stale area in your home and put together a display using your favorite things. You can read about it here.


I used just things from around the house, nothing is new, you've probably seen all of this already...sorry...don't worry I'll probably go shopping soon! ;)

I have had this collection of old postcards for ages now, I sorta hoard them like if I handle them too much they go up in a puff of smoke...but they are in terrific condition and this is my favorite one:

Hyeres is a town in the southeast of France. The town is often referred to Hyeres Les Palmiers (Palm Tree)

I bought them at an antique shop not really knowing what I was going to do with them, but I just like looking at them, (most of them are European) and reading the stories of the travels of the sender....very much like blogging in a way...reading a little glimpse here and there of people's lives....

I won't give too much away, but this also reveals a project that I've been working on for Met Monday...I'll be showing you the before and afters of a lovely piece...











I just Love these cards...they add such depth and character...I simply leaned a few of the cards on the artwork...





This kind of homework I can handle!
Thank you Ness for getting me cranking!




Even if I don't win Ness' lovely stars, I enjoyed putting this together....




Thank you for visiting...




I'm nearing 100 posts and hope to be having a giveaway of my own...more details will be coming soon...





I hope I have inspired you to freshen up a part of your home...
