Sometimes things call out to you ...

 

My 'present to myself' Lucy Almey Bird pictures are up on the wall.

I paid for the prints and Alan paid for the framing for me, and I absolutely love them.  The lady from the framing shop in our town also loved them so much she approached Lucy directly about being a seller of her prints in our town.  So who knows, I might be buying a couple more in the future.  😀

Although it's not ideal having them behind me when I'm sat in one of the chairs, this was the only available place for them to go as I am quickly running out of wall space here in the lodge.

I chose these three pictures as each one in a different way relates to me and my life, and strangely the lady in the framing shop said that's why they appealed to her.  I guess you take from art that which means the most to you, and relax into it.

'Spring Awakening'

In this one the dresser, the jars of dried food and the pitcher called out to me first, the other details being picked up on later.

'Me Time'

In this one it was the Jack Russell curled up in the basket, the  cream coloured Aga with the kettle on top, and the thick woolly socks.

'A Good Book'

And in this one it was the Ginger cat, the old Bush radio, my Dad's woven topped stool and the stacks of books that immediately pulled me in, then I spotted my Nana's old clock on the bookshelves and the need to own it was cemented.

Sometimes things call out to you ... and sometimes you just have to give in and let them into your life.
