The world often likes to remind me how amazingly small it is — for example, I found one of my favorite reads, Picnics in the Park, through our comments here. Greta is a regular reader here, and after reading (extensively, and with delight) through her blog one day, I recognized her and her insanely cute kiddos as some of my favorite customers from my previous workplace, some two states away!! I’m so thrilled to have re-connected with her, and am thrilled even more each day to read about her lovely life in my ol’ beach town.

Greta constantly floors me with her creative solutions for decorating on next to no budget. This week’s post on her arriving-any-day new baby’s nursery is of course no exception. She quickly whipped up a garland from a photocopied IKEA napkin with fabulous results, but I was most impressed with her picture frames: embroidery hoops! She simply glued her postcards of choice to sturdy cardstock, and then glued that to the back of the embroidery hoop. To hang, she glued a hoop of bright colored raffia to the cardstock, and tacked it to the wall. Amazingly simple, yes? And I love the art she used, too. If you like what you see, be sure to do what I do — read everyday to find even more inspiration! — Megan B.
