My Place & Yours: My 'Me' Wardrobe

The theme for Pip's meme this week was chosen by Sandra. She chose the theme "The 'Me' Wardrobe". She wants people to think about what we have in our wardrobes that we will love no matter which way fashion trends go. Something that will be kept and worn and loved from season to season and (hopefully) year to year.

Something I have in my closet that I really love is my red and white coat. My good friend Sunny gave it to me and It's really special to me. It's warm and cozy and I almost always hear a comment about it when I go out. I've been told I looked like a Christmas present and also like Mrs. Claus. Both of which really made me smile.

Wherever I Lay My Hat...

The theme for Pip's meme this week is "Wherever I lay my hat, that's my home" which was chosen by Myrtle & Eunice.

I was thinking about what I would need to bring with me if I was moving around and what makes my little apartment feel like a home. Logan and I have a collection of silly wall stuff that makes me feel really happy.

Here it is.

Each one has a story behind it but there are two items of special note:

My dad bought me the bejeweled crucifix at a yard sale in Wisconsin and the embroidered unicorn is from my mom. She wrote on the back of it in pencil. It says "Follow your dreams". She's a really nice mom.

My Place & Yours: That's Nice, That's Different, That's Unusual

Hi!

So, Pip over at Meet Me at Mike's has a really sweet meme called "My Place & Yours" which basically encourages people to show off little bits about where they live and create and whatnot. I've been wanting to play along for a while and this week I'm doing it. The theme this week is "That's Nice, That's Different, That's Unusual", chosen by Little Suitcase. And here I go!

Something in our apartment that I think is unusual but also very nice is the huge umm... piece of art we have in the living room.

Logan found it in the West Village and brought it home. The face of the blue person used to be a pretty lady but someone had drawn a mustache on her. So Calder just painted over her face and one leg to make her a zombie (I think). And this thing really is huge- it takes over the wall and you can see it from the street. I love it.

Something else that is unusual but not quite so nice is our poor little green chair. Are you wondering what the yellow thing underneath it is?

It's a huge cone of yarn... and it's literally holding up the chair.

We bought the chair at a stoop sale for cheap and it had already been mended a couple times. Now it's a bit of a hazard. But it's a really cozy chair so, for now, it stays.
