Making Arrangements

There is nothing I love more (I know - I say that a lot, but it's always true at the time) than setting up little arrangements.



Everyone calls it "styling" spaces now - but I always thought of it as making "arrangements." Kind of like floral arrangements - but instead of flowers in vases, it would be stuff on tables.



This came to an end when my oldest son started walking and everything on reachable surface areas became fair game for manhandling. But five years and two siblings later, there seems to be a lot less interest in my personal trinkets and knickknacks.



It may be time to start making arrangements again... But now that I blog, I want to take pictures - and my trusty old point and shoot is more of a "say cheese" kind of camera... Time to start saving pennies for my new career in blogging about my home "styling." Any advice on affordable cameras for novices?

  1. We might have an old camera we can just give you - I'm not sure if Matt's already given it away or not. I'll let you know tonight or tomorrow. He's been 'upgrading' his every year or two.

    I WISH I was good at making arrangements/styling, but alas, I am not. I find a way of displaying my stuff and there it stays, until, like you, I have to box it up to keep it out of the kids reach!

  2. There is nothing better than a good vignette I think. I constantly change all the smalls that I have collected. I have always had a love affair
    with inanimate objects. Long my they reign!

  3. These are such lovely arrangements. I am inspired by your home arrangement skills. I don't like the interiors with heavy furnitures, and expensive stuff, but a simple, clean and classy interior is my choice. Nice sharing dear
