Welcome to the Whimsy Home Wednesday Link Party. Today we are sharing the chosen posts from Whimsy Home Wednesday No. 43.
Hey y'all! How are you today?
Several months ago, I ventured out to a barn sale. I picked up this The Century Illustrated Monthly Magazine, the particular one I share photos of today was from May 1892. Talk about a beautiful cover, and such attention to detail.
The lady I purchased these magazines from, had three in a bundle, and how cute was it that she even included a rose with all three books bundled together to place on the coffee table. I thought it was a nice touch.
I was so happy to find a pup gracing the halls of the Brown home, looks like he may have had a rowdy rump running about since the rug is a bit skewed. What do you think?
I especially love the arched opening, the landing as you continue up the stairs, a settee to sit for a spell before venturing out in the elements, and how could we ever forget that chandelier. Beautiful! I especially love the curves.
The one thing I have to keep reminding myself as I read, is that I am not reading from history's point of view, but that the goings on are in present day, present day 1892 that is. It has been an interesting perspective for me, but I am one to over analyze ideas and thoughts many times over, getting lost in in my own mind pondering what I read.

Congratulations to the featured posts of Whimsy Home Wednesday! I enjoy being able to visit each post to see what other's are up to around the web, don't you?
This week, I am excited to share Karin with Karin's Kottage, and her absolutely creative wonder in Making an Easy Paper Bag Witch Hat. How creative is that? You know I love a good upcycle project. I think they have become my favorite.
Check out all of the 4-1-1 on Karin's witch hat so you can get a jump start on the upcoming festivities. I have to say, one not really to decorate much for Halloween am finding myself with a few things here and there already.

Whimsical Home Projects From Our Guests
Thank you for joining us for Whimsy Home Wednesday No. 44! Here are a few guidelines for our linky party!
Cara, thank you for hosting. I love all the details in that magazine.
ReplyDeleteI noticed the front door was open in the picture with the pup. It made me think the pup was relaxing, enjoying the breeze entering through the front door. I love that she included a rose, so pretty.
I am looking forward to taking the time to read the magazines from cover to cover. I like the way you think, I am betting that breeze feels wonderful, we sure could use one now. I thought the rose was a nice touch too. I am a sucker for a good barn sale.
DeleteHi Cara, wow, those magazines are an amazing find! I adore the illustrations! Thanks so much for having us over!!

DeleteWow Cara! Those magazines are a great find. So fascinating and can't wait to hear after your read through. I am sure the use of the language alone would be interesting, let alone the content. Thanks for having us over friend! XO- MaryJo

I was a big fan, even just sitting on the coffee table, I thought they were lovely, but I get to read, and learn things too? What a perfect find! It's interesting how fast time goes, it's like BAM, it's Wednesday again already. I am not sure where the time goes.
DeleteSuch wonderful features, that witch hat is just adorable! Love seeing all of the amazing creativity out in the world.
ReplyDeleteI agree, so much talent out there when you are searching for ideas!
