I was so lucky today! We went out to my favorite Sunday morning haunts and one of the stall sellers was trying to get rid of her pennants. I happen to be caught in a moment of obsession with Americana, and I thought that these were too cute to pass up. She had a lot of baseball and college flags, but these vacation souvenirs were definitely what I wanted. I wanted to keep it to the Southern states (I am what I am) but I have a soft spot for Las Vegas, so I got that one too.
At home, we had the perfect spot for it! There was a blank space above our work area that needed something cool. And they look great! I was afraid they would be out of place, but I think they fit well. I was so excited when I put them up! They are not the only thing on the wall. Since the piano was moved, I thought that all the frames looked, well... a little silly. So I got some long thin shelves and we put some of our favorites doo-dads on them. Two painting I thrifted are up there too:
That's right! A two dollar painting (an original nonetheless!) and a 25 cent paint by numbers picture. I loved both of them, and thought that they would look great by our workspace. I like this wall now. There's a lot of really interesting things on it like the piece by a Tawahka artisan from Honduras-- but that's another story for another time.
