My husband was given his Grandfather's service medals in this modest brown paper bubble envelope.
In order to keep them protected, he kept them in it.
Knowing how much those medals meant, I decided find a way to display them.

You Just Died In My Arms Tonight
Rest in Peace.
I will always remember that first day I saw you; You were all perky and cute... quite the flirt.
Of course I had to pick you up... and I am embarrassed to say that I took you home that night.
But then I got you home, and managed to kill you...

Funny Stuff: Thrifting Infographic
Good Morning!
I found this hilarious infographic online today.
I found it at Good. - by Christie Young.
My favorite is #6... because it happens to me every time.

Artwork: Drive a Hard Bargain
Stopped by VV Boutique on a lark.
Hubby saw this photograph and liked it - maybe because the landscape reminds us of home (BC).

I Love Lamp: MCM Lamp Reveal
Remember this one? I first found it here.
This MCM lamp, at first, looks in good shape but upon closer examination, it has a lot of chips and stains.

I Love Lamp: Shade Solution
As per my last post, meltingplastic bought a lamp with a really bad shade on it.
Find the post here.
She hated it, (and who wouldn't!) so I offered to take it off her hands and experiment with re-covering it.
