Little Things from Big Inspiration

It's camellia time again. The narrow walkway on the side of the house is littered with fallen camellias. This particular tree has reached the roof line.  Waxy pink blossoms with their intricate veins always inspire me.
 So did this architectural element at the Park last weekend.  The nooks and crannies played hide and seek with the sunlight.
And what, you might ask, do camellias and building ornaments have to do with each other?  Not too much really.  Unless you're me.  Then the camellias make you think of PamKittyMorning's sweet fabrics.  The ornaments remind you that you have a small resin frame sitting lonely on the shelf.  And then you think, "Of course!"  You grab the Mod Podge, a fabric scrap, the frame and an applique letter.  You get busy and in no time at all, you have a great little gift to put in the mail.
If you want to try your hand at this, simply visit this post for all the project details.

  1. Mod Podge - of course!!! I once had a house were I planted these two little camellias. I drove by that house a few years later and the camellias were taller than me and flanking the front entrance to the house. Thanks for bringing back the memories. Carolina

  4. Have you ever noticed you share the same initials as Mod Podge ? I think it's great that you're You and can combine Camelias and architecture! We wouldn't want you any other way.
