Meaningful Souvenirs
On our recent trip to London, nosotros did to a greater extent than looking than buying (the central charge per unit of measurement is terrible!). My friends introduced me to the Very Bradley of London... Cath Kidston. Her stores bring the cutest wares made from darling fabrics. I searched iii stores until I institute her signature London blueprint on a tea towel. I don't ordinarily operate out along a towel on my oven or dishwasher handles, but afterward seeing this 1 I wanted to come across those wonderful London icons as well as retrieve our trip every day.
We likewise made the obligatory trip to Harrod's as well as left alongside a modest souvenir.
Charity Shops (thrift stores - I similar the cry Charity Shop thence much better!) are tardily to uncovering mixed correct inwards alongside high destination stores virtually every means you lot turn. So of course, that's where I had fun digging! After touring Windsor Castle, nosotros spent only about fourth dimension shopping inwards the piddling town. I institute a framed impress of the castle that I couldn't resist (the frame was trash, only bought it for the pic!). I honey the colors as well as the swans on the Thames River. I programme to frame it as well as include it inwards a gallery wall inwards our bedroom. The other flick is a watercolor of a piddling English linguistic communication town. My sweetness friend sent it abode alongside me.
Here's a few of the existent swans. One of them tried to swallow the diamond inwards my marriage ceremony ring! ;) They're protected past times the Queen as well as along a department of the Thames inwards Windsor they are counted every year.
I likewise institute only about other treasure at the Charity Shop inwards Windsor. These brass saddle ornaments were everywhere. There are limitless designs, thence I dug through as well as institute this 1 alongside a quail (at to the lowest degree I intend it's a quail). Quail are particular to us, since my hubby serves on staff at Quail Springs Baptist Church as well as they stand upwards for our precious church building family. Then, on our concluding morn there, nosotros stopped at only about other Charity Shop on the means to the aerodrome as well as I institute this 1 alongside a crown! We did come across The Queen piece nosotros were there, afterward all (more details on that inwards a futurity post). Both were perfect.
I wanted to display the ornaments, thence I grabbed a frame from my stash, an former slice of mat board, as well as only about stuff as well as ribbon.
After cutting the stuff to size as well as gluing it along the edges to the matboard, I looped the ribbon through the exceed of the ornaments, as well as thence hot glued it to the stuff inset. I used a few drops of hot gum to secure the board inwards the frame, as well as called it done!
Now these are inwards a prominent house inwards our living room, as well as every fourth dimension nosotros come across it a overflowing of memories from our wonderful trip returns.
