Another Header Idea


Since I never put up the entire piece I made as the header, I thought I would try posting it for "a few whiles" as my daughter used to say! This was the other one, but it got lost in the words....so I changed it again!

The Row Houses are actually hanging in my sunroom. They're in a 36"frame. I did this after my mom's death to get me up and doing "something." As we all know, loosing someone leaves a large hole in our hearts and our day that is hard to fill.

But, it was the start of my Row Houses and a class developed! Probably my favorite class ever.

There are vintage pics of me(I'm in the trenchcoat and beret and the cowgirl hat on my grandpa's tractor), my husband (the kid in the overalls) and my BIL with his siblings (under the embossed metal roof with a K) in it. And there are other vintage images from Collections and Tim's Distressables.

Still love it, so back up it goes.................until another day, I guess.

Ok ... I missed the new header so I cannot comment ... but I have always loved your row of houses as a header and knowing the history behind it now ... I love it even more ... I bet that was some class X
