Around Christmastime, I shared a simple display I rigged up to hang a few Christmas cards in my dining room. I’ve since swapped out the contents of the display, and wanted to show you how it’s currently looking!
I love to send and receive snail mail, and I strongly believe in the power of a handwritten letter. Sadly, letter writing has become a dying art. Keeping in touch via e-mail or social media simply does not have the same charm! As a kid, I had dozens of pen pals from across the globe, and to this day I still have a few friends with whom I regularly exchange handwritten letters. Stemming from this hobby of mine, I have a large collection of postcards and note cards, some of which I received in the mail, and others which are new, but I can’t bring myself to send them away because I think they’re too pretty. I wanted to put a few of my favorites on display in my home.

I love these happy new additions to our dining room – they bring a smile to my face!
The artwork you have is so stunning and unique. And I love this trademark wall that I see in all of your pictures! I think it really makes your blog stand out a bit, and I’m sure it must look so lovely in your home!
Thank you, Lynette! It’s been fun to collect different pieces to display, and I love how easy it is to swap things out when I need a change! Our turquoise walls were a bold choice after years of living in white-walled rentals. As you can tell, I’m ALL about color. :)
The colour of your walls is gorgeous! I love it! Also like this decorating idea and how you’ve kept a tradition of sending handwritten notes & cards to friends.
Thanks, I’m so glad I took the plunge for the vibrant wall color. It certainly makes a statement. :)
