...because I'm being influenced too heavily by HGTV and other stations that broadcast celebrities and their "favorite things" segments on certain shows.
I went around my house and photographed some of my own fave things. This accomplished two missions - 1) it gave me blog material and 2) it gave me practice using my camera and a realization that I "need" another new lens.
I'm only showing you the pillow and the bird. Those are randomly weird enough.
So about the bird. I call it "dear little bird" because sometimes I like to talk like a little old lady. (Sometimes, when I'm 9 months pregnant, I also end up moving like a little old lady, but that's another story...) Who uses the word "dear" anymore, really?
This bird drew the attention of my dear little friend Julester when we were shopping in a dear little curio shop near my dear little home once upon a time.
We each bought one. Difference between me and Julester is that she went home and had a perfect place to stick the bird, whereas in my knick-knack-free, vacuously-decorated home the dear little bird is hopelessly lost.
HGTV sucks. It just makes me realize my many decorating shortfalls, one being that I have no place to put my bird.
HGTV does suck! It makes me feel like a big loser. As does Better Homes and Gardens Magazine (which my mother-in-law just renewed my subscription for the 3rd year in a row!!!) My Pottery Barn catalogue which is free and in my mailbox every other day is bad enough!
ReplyDeleteI feel bad enough about my decorating skills without watching any TV shows, thanks for the warning! I have a butler's ashtray I think it is called. I got it when my grandmother passed away and I remember playing with it at her house. It reminds me of the times there and the era she was from. I don't care that it doesn't go with anything, I love it!
ReplyDeleteI love your little bird. But that's exactly why I never buy knick nacks for my home, b/c I don't have the eye to just place things here and there and make it all work together. I'm probably the only person in my larger neighborhood area that doesn't have a ceramic lizard hanging on the wall, and I don't have a single Kokopelli image anywhere in the house, treason for the SW.
