This birthday gift should have been easy to hang. Neutral colours. Practical size: not too large, not too small.
But its significance left me mulling for some time over where it should be hung.
My “happy place” has always been non-literal. I find it in the pages of a beautifully crafted book. Planning my next travel adventure or helping someone else do the same. With beverage in hand, laughing with family or friends. Preparing a meal — or baking a cake — to share with aforementioned family.
My gift is not a book-mark. I can’t take it with me on my next adventure, to hang in the departure lounge. My favourite drinks place is my front verandah: with a view but without protection from the elements. Which left me with my final — and happy — option.
It now hangs in my kitchen and I’m happy to see it when I walk into the room, even before I start my next baking adventure. Lately I’ve been glomming carrot cakes. Here are two super-yummy successes: the first is a classic Carrot Cake with lemon cream cheese frosting. The second has a surprise twist: tea and spices. Masala Chai Carrot Cake.
What is your happy place?
Where would you hang this wall art?
Hi Bronwyn
ReplyDeleteI do love that print it is beautiful and for me my happy place is on my recliner reading and I am sure I could find a spot very close to hang it and if I could have a piece of either of those carrot cakes that would be even better :)
Have Fun
