do you remember...
the first time you saw a piece...
...your breath caught with the utter beauty of it...
and then you had to redo a whole room around that piece...
when i first laid eyes upon that dough bowl i knew i had to have it...
then came this reproduction painting by Corot...
A Cow in a Marsh...
the muted tones and the lonely cow made it an instant *love*
now it is no secret that i adore iron...
so this prairie girl could not say no to these iron brackets from ballard design...{one of my favorite catalogs...sigh...bliss}
while browsing a small out of the way shop one afternoon i found this stuffed in a corner....
my lighting was not so good on this snowy afternoon so it is hard to get the full effect of this picture...
it is worn, faded, and tattered...
i have no idea where it came from...but so glad it came to this prairie home...
these next two bulls received the eyeball roll from the husband...
bulls are meant to be on the range not in the home...you know...
okay...whatever....just thinking of you honey... :0)
these beauties are not going anywhere...
yes bulls can be beauties...i think...hmmm...maybe i shouldn't say that one to loudly....not cowboy enough...
this isn't anything cowy {?!!?} but it reminds me of myself and my husband...
except we're not potato farmers...
oh well...*love* the piece...
this last one is a photo of my newest addition...
found at the thrift store...felt a little guilty about getting just the cow...
the rest of the nativity scene was left behind...
i know...{shame}
so there you have it...my first piece quickly followed by others that started it all...
i wanted to say *thank you* to fawn for letting me do a little guest post on her absolutely amazing blog Patina Soul...to say that i was nervous is a complete understatement...sigh...i hope i didn't do to much damage!
thanks fawn!!
