You Drive Me Wild.

I saw a trellis a few weeks ago at an antique shop.
It had the perfect mix of chippy and age.  It was $24.  And I left it there.
After about a week of dreaming about my old chippy trellis, 
I came to my senses and went back and bought it. 
I could see it hanging no where else but on my mantle.

Next, I came across three 1950's magazine ads at Goodwill. 
3 ads right out of a magazine, someone had badly framed.
I scooped them up.  

I saw it in my head: Valentine, you drive me wild.

I reframed the ads from my own frame stash and ditched the glass. Glare bugs me.
The 'kiss me' was a stumble upon moment at Michael's. $2 a letter. Sold.
I strung it across the whole thing with twine anchored to the trellis.

Oh, yeah.
'Valentine, You Drive Me Wild.'
I designed it and painted it. Bam.
How can you not love the trellis? 
I saw it and got trellisitis for a week. I had trellis fever. 
Trellisitis led to Mantleitis.
Which eventually led to Drive-Me-Wilditis.
Now I am cured, because it turned out fabulous. 
It's okay. It's my blog. I can love myself.

(oh. my. goodness. I crack myself up!)

Sorry kids, I just couldn't do pink and roses.
Tell someone you love them.
xo jeanne.

  3. I love it--I suspect you'll have a lot of wives with husbands who love their cars who will follow your path (road? street?).

    Glad to see someone else who throws away the glass when they frame things!

It's no fun getting 40 comments on how super handy it is to purchase viagra.)
