framing blue prints and old letters...

I love this month's Southern Living. They've really revamped some of their jazz. I don't subscribe, but my mom does, and whenever I'm over at their place, I always pick hers up and leaf through. This months issue features a bungalow decorated by some dude named George, and I love his style.

I will find pics of this, I PROMISE. (cross my heart) but this dude totally framed old blue prints and letters around his home. My grandfather was a builder. Super cool if I can get my hands on some of his old blue prints. I've already ordered/begged my mom to start digging through the piles of things she inherited from my Grandmother! I think this is quite possibly the coolest idea ever. This guy also blew up some old envelopes and framed them super large...old envelopes dating back to 1917. LOVE. Check this month's out if you can get a chance. I always thought I would officially be a mom if I subscribed to Southern Living. I may have to cave...

Hmm maybe I need to add this mag to my ever growing list. One friend has old letters her great? grandparents wrote to each other while he was in WW2 in the most goregous shadow box - love it. And love the grandpa blueprint idea!

I sell Southern living at home and one of the specials for the month is a 2 year subscription for 9.95. It is definitely the time to subscribe :-)!
