words, words, words

I have noticed that L.E.T.T.E.R.S and WORDS as decorative pieces are very in vogue at the moment. I know your probably thinking, 'um...they have been in vogue for a while Erin, get with it' but i just wanted to publicy acknowledge that I like it.

I like that you can have words or letters around your HOME that you walk by each day and get either uplifted by them or they just make you happy.
I have the letter "F" on our mantle (for Freind) I often look at it and are reminded of my new name and what it stands for.

I have a few friends with "love", "home", "hope" and "joy" words around their home and i think, so simple yet so effective.
I have another friend that has "EAT' in her kitchen, obvious yes, yet it brings a smile to my face and it's significant for her because cooking and food is such a big part of who she is.

I am personally looking for the perfect "NEST" sign/letters. I love this because it makes me realize that the house i live in is a nest that Brad and I have created and we are nesting there and our nest is totally different and unique from the next nest.

Here are few lovely examples of words:
This room is a little too PINK

Top thoughts!

Top 5 thoughts for this week ( In no particular order!)

1. I want to make a fig pie as I was given a huge bag of figs. Found this delicious looking recipe in Marie Claire 'Kitchen', hoping it tastes as good as it looks!2. I collected two pieces of furniture from 'hard rubbish' (greedy??)that i want to restore. They are in pretty good condition but could use a dash of paint.
3. 'I am dreaming of a white Christmas' Just this very week, Brad and I decided we'd lock in Christmas in England with my sister and brother in law...very excited!4. Feeling a birthday party vibe coming along!
