The Brass Elephant!

I have had several people ask me where I found my brass elephants.

I literally stumbled over this pair in a thrift shop.

Initially, I thought I would take them home,

spray paint them in a soft white and use one for a ring holder

on my bedside table.

Shh..I heard a gasp!

Yes, I was going to paint them!

 I would keep one and give one to my daughter.

Then,

I placed them in a vignette

and now...

I think they are going to stay brass for while.

I found more brass pachyderms on Etsy.

A few, I like better than my own!

Maybe you will find one you like.

Color+Old+New=Well Curated

One look I love is a well curated vignette.
I see them all over the internet.
I, personally lean toward a huge abstract as a backdrop,
 with great color and modern accessories!
I realize I have developed a taste for the blend and interest  of 
"something old and something new".
Here is the formula.
Color + Old + New = Well Curated.
I also tend to prefer the silver metals,
to gold...
but, again,
I am beginning to love the look of an interesting, shiny, gold 
brass accessory!
Who knew?
Here are a couple of examples of vignettes
and then below a few great choices of brass
 from a couple of
shops on Etsy.
Chic and Cheerful.
