TAGS...TAGS....AND MORE TAGS.......




LIKE MANY OF YOU OUT THERE IN BLOGLAND....
I have been the recipient of many..many tags.  Some have been purchased...some have been gifts.  I love each and everyone of them..but have been somewhat perplexed about how I would be able to display all these beauties so I could see them on a regular basis.


Well...I found my solution.  I purchased this macrame plant holder up in Montana last summer.  It is certainly a throw back to the 60's but I liked the shape and texture so I brought it home.  Used it up there for a while but decided I would bring it South with me this last fall.

SO HERE IT IS....A PERFECT DISPLAY FOR ALL THOSE BEAUTIFUL TAGS I HAVE RECEIVED FROM ALL YOU BEAUTIFUL LADIES OUT THERE.

Now...I must confess...I have even more tags....oh....where to display them.

So..I decided here would be the perfect place.


It is an old bird cage stand that I have simply hung a chandelier on...strung a bunch of beads and crystals...and then hung more tags on the form.  This is in my bedroom and I light this little beauty every night when I enter my bedroom.  It reminds me of all the wonderful friends I have made this last year and I am so very GRATEFUL for every last one of you.

Here is to you sweet friends!!!
KEEP PRAYING FOR JAPAN.

    I noticed you are a fan of Tolkien and thought I'd drop a note to say hi. I am an author and I'm looking to connect with as many readers in the fantasy genre as I can. My first novel is popular with Tolkien fans so maybe you'll want to check out my blog so we can connect! www.FlamingPen.blogspot.com

    How clever you are to think of these ways to hang your beautiful tags. I would never thought of this and it nice that when you enter the room you can think of how many friends truly love you.
    Have a great week
    Love

    Brilliant idea! It's beautiful Jo. Very clever! Can you think of a way to display the 3 full albums of ATCs I've collected?

    Isn't nice to be able to see what you've received rather than tossing them in a drawer? If I had wall space, I would use big frames to make corkboards and display cards and tags tha way. But unfortunately, I've used just about every bit of free space I have. :/ Have a great week Jo. Best wishes, Tammy

    Well where have I been? I've not heard of "tags" and they are really wonderful. I can imagine your pleasure in seeing them around you every day and thinking of your blogging friends who sent them to you. I'd love seeing them up close.

    Best,
    Bonnie

    Jo~

    They're both lovely! Since I tend to lean more toward rustic or primitive decor, I have to admit that the plant hanger is my personal favorite. How wonderful~ Chandeliers full of friends!

    Every time I pop over here, I can't help but say to myself, "Now, why didn't I think of that?" Well done, my dear. Brava!

    Blessings,
    Mrs B

    Bonsoir Jo! I love how you thought to use your birdcage stand. I have one, and it stands lonely, in a corner of my laundry room. But you, mon ami, have shared a fabulous repurpose for it! I am going to work on it this very weekend. Merci! Chelle

TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY......I'M GOING TO HAVE A WONDERFUL BIRTHDAY MONTH!!!

I turn 67 today.....and actually I feel better as the years accumulate.  Since I've gotten older I actually have decided that I will celebrate each day during the month of October...just being grateful for being healthy and alive.   I hope each one of you who follow this little blog of mine celebrate each day along with me.... Here are some of the things I have planned for my birthday month: 1.  Listing our current home the end of the first week in November.  We are pretty excited to be moving into a little smaller spot as it means less work and maintenance.  We just want to be able to live more and work less.  Although we still have not found our new spot.....we know it is out there.   2.  Taking a 15 day cruise on the Rhine from Amsterdam to Budapest.  We will visit 5 countries along the way.  One of the stops will be in the place I was born....Nuremberg, Germany.  My  family  left Germany right after the war...when I was quite young.  Memories are almos

PUTTING ON MY GYPSY SHOES......................

Bo Bunny Paper Collection Well.......the coach is packed...the laundry done in the condo....and we will be on our way tomorrow. I often do feel like a gypsy moving from one spot to another....and each year my gratitude grows as I am able to continue this lifestyle. I truly would love to "do up" my coach in Gypsy Style...but alas....not too practical as things probably would be flying all over as we traveled down the road.  (O: But.....a girl can dream.....can't she? ~~~ My suitcase is packed with memories To be opened further down the road When my caravan must be halted The bag waits to be opened Stories to be told and shared Like the gypsy's of so long ago But for now....the wheels keep turning And my case grows larger still Waiting for the day..I must be stopped   And my heart, to the brim, will be filled Hugs from me to you, Jo Gypsy photos:  Electric Gipsyland on Flickr

HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND A MERRY CHRISTMAS

This is a picture of our little tree this year.  Each year our trees seem to be smaller, a function of our getting older and just wanting to deal with less stuff.  I'm sure a few of you feel them same.  Although it does seem to be a little weird that we want to deal with fewer Christmas decorations and give each other MORE STUFF in the way of presents under the tree.   Ahhh...being human is such a quandary sometimes!                                          MERRY CHRISTMAS                                                          Jo
