With a cup of coffee in one hand, design ideas dancing in my mind, my eyes staring at my mantle which holds my morning inspiration, my ampersand sign, I knew immediately I would be facing a happy day. I call it my special morning moment.
Don't we all have one thing that puts a smile on our face?
Over the past few months, I've been purchasing some decorative pieces to bring life to my fireplace. I remember as if it was today
my "ampersand " purchase. Perfect size, perfect color and I had the perfect spot.
Well, I broke it.
Here is what happen.
Haste makes waste
Haven't you heard this before?
As I begin to remove items from the
mantle in order to decorate for
the 4th of July, a little voice kept saying,
be careful
handle with care
take your time
handle with care
take your time
Should I repair it
or
should I make a trip
to Hobby Lobby?
Moving at my usual fast pace,
I began swapping items one by one
and
it slipped out of my hand.
It landed in two pieces
I felt like my heart landed beside it.
My first thought,
why this piece?
It was the only piece
damaged during the swap.
Thought I would share my
experience as I see it as
a
Lesson Learned
never decorate in high gear...
Thanks for stopping by
Happy styling
