It's no secret that I love yellow. Canary, lemon, goldenrod, mustard, and butter are all shades that make me smile. So, I wanted to celebrate the sunshine and upcoming summer with a series of yellow vignettes around my apartment.
The first vignette I created is on one of my living room end tables. It features a bowl of yarn, initial blocks, a mustard tin, a memory jar, a glove mold that is just the size of my hands (extra small), and Elton John's "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road." The memory jar, in case you're wondering, is the jar that I chuck all of my event tickets into--tickets from movies, plays, concerts, ballgames, etc. I'm a saver, but not a scrapbooker. This easy storage arrangement works for me because it keeps all my tickets together and on display, but requires no effort on my part.
The second vignette is in my phone nook. Yellow books, a button jar, a crocheted stone, and scrabble letters. These are a few of my favorite things!
I couldn't resist posting another photo of the yellow yarn bowl. It holds so many wonderful possibilities...

ReplyDeletethat lovely vignettes. i love the one of the books. that yarn is so pretty wonder what it will turn into.
ReplyDeletejust went for an early morning bike ride in the empty parking lot with my 7 and 9 year old girls...in the drizzle...makes me happy for sure!
ReplyDeleteyour scrabble letters and yellow books and crocheted rock make for a sweet vignette...you should make that into a print or greeting card...or would you mind if I make one LIKE it?
nothing was making me happy (not a good day so far :( ) but that the bowl of yellow yarn just did! I want to go out and get some yellow yarn now!

You're inspiring me...I haven't taken the time to rotate designs or themes, but I think I might have to try it out this summer. So many plans! I can't wait until my new computer arrives and I can start blogging about the sunshine of summer!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a cheery color -- perfect for me today as we face yet another day of clouds and rain. I love that little phone nook. I wish I had one.
