Just Keep Painting, Just Keep Painting-Painting-Painting...

It appears I've been busy the last few weeks...Here's what I've done to keep sane...

My Favorite Nut ... My Granddad calls all his grandchildren "Squirrel Bait".  He is indeed my favorite nut and I love smiling about my childhood and looking at this silly squirrel.

Junken Finds With MeeMaw and Peeps

So if you didn't already know, I'm a giraffe lover.  My husband is a giraffe lover...even Eggs is a giraffe lover.

MeeMaw and Peeps (aka- Mom & Dad) came down a few weeks ago to help Mike and I celebrate the nuptials and the knot and yada, yada, yada.

Well, also, if you didn't know.  I come from a long line of "Junkers".  Grandma Jo had me digging in garage sale bins from the time I could crawl and MeeMaw and Peeps have cultivated the fine art of junken' into our genetics.

Above you will find my most valued and recent junk finds.  First is a giraffe ceramic jewelry box.  No, I will not put jewelry in it.  It has found a home on our coffee table to collect useless junk inside.

Next, forgive the sideways photograph.  For "Blogspot" isn't being nice to me today.  It is indeed a giraffe.  And it is a planter.  I dare say an ivy vine shall plant roots in this fella before he knows it!
Eggs is rather fond of his springy neck.  He spends hours bouncing the poor guy's head around and even knocking it off.

Stay tuned for more junk.

Giraffe L O V E

Who said there's no such thing as a country giraffe?!

After moving into a plain old boring ole white walled apartment, I found inspiration from Mike and I's favorite animal: the giraffe.  He's a city boy, and I'm a country girl...so I had to compromise...and I must admit, it is indeed Giraffe L O V E.

Here's the first one I painted after moving in, not very big.  But the bright background sure makes my wall collage filled with black framed photos and mirrors seem complete.

These crazy hued 3 amigos hang out on the wall about the entertainment center. Little did I know my brown paint was actually purple...They ended up being purple, blue and green, adding yet another bright accent to our eclectic and mismatched decor.

This large poster-sized painting now hangs in our bedroom...where purple and black seem to have taken over.

It's official...giraffes now live in this country heart.  I can't wait to see what other giraffes decide to move in around here.
