My post today is about a thrifty vintage thingie wannabe.

It is neither a vintage thingie, nor was it a particularly thrifty buy. BUT - - - I hope it WILL be vintage one day, and since Fisherhubby gave it to me, it is priceless, so WHATEVER he paid for it WAS thrifty.

One Sunday a few years ago we stopped at the Christmas Open House at our friend's florist shoppe.

That's WHERE I saw it.

That's WHEN I fell in love with it.

And that's WHY I hinted quite openly to Fisherhubby that I would like it for Christmas.


Even Fisherhubbies can take hints if they are broad enough (the hints, not the fisherhubbies, though some fisherhubbies ARE rather broad, but that would be the subject of ANOTHER meme, don't'cha think?) - - - and the tapestry was mine for Christmas.

There is just something about the setting that draws me in.

We hung it in our living room, which I affectionately call "the music room" since Fisherhubby keeps his guitar and trumpet there - - - and even occasionally, when not fishing, plays them.


Mackinley and Piper turn into musicians when they hang out in our music room.


Mackinley is already exhibiting great musical prowess at his tender age, and I give all the credit to - - -
