Artsy

My husband and I are notorious for not hanging anything on the walls, and it's a real shame. I go to friends' houses, who have chosen beautiful pieces of art, or photographs, or whatever to decorate their home, and it's wonderful. It fills up those blank walls, and brings so much of their character to their home.

So at our local art fair, there is this incredible artist who does paper cutouts. Her name is Carol Menninga, and she does amazing things with paper and a pair of scissors. Here is her web site http://www.paper-cutouts.com/.

Most are inspired by nature, and some are touched with coffee stain or water color. You can purchase them in lovely frames, or unframed. One of my favorites, that is perfect for baby's room or as a shower gift for a good friend is 'Hey Diddle Diddle'. It is inspired by the nursery rhyme, and is just adorable!

Now go outside!
