I thought today, i would share the cards i have on my bedroom wall. Do you like to display things you recieve in the mail and from friends? Its something i have always liked to do in my home. I have tried various ways - a wire heart, a fabric covered board with ribbons to slot images behind, and a magnetic board. I like those, but i also like the string of cards idea here. Where i use heart pegs, to clip things to a cotton tape/ribbon. I got the peg set a while ago it was from the wonderful range East of India.
I keep the cards there to inspire or uplift me, and i havent changed them for quite awhile. As you can see they include some of my favourite things...birds, butterflies, angels, roses, and in all the colours that i love too. The ivory butterflies are made of felt and have fairy lights within, they were from Laura ashley some seasons ago.
there is an angel watching over me
The origami butterfly was beautifully made by Keri-anne, she has a new blog that you can find here: Sweet Days with Elle and Mia. Her recent post on her Bluebell fairy is a delight.
The bird cards are by the talented designer Elena Deshmukh. Elena has a lovely blog too and i really liked her post on beautiful bluebells lately as well,
love and blessings

I think that's a beautiful way to display cards, especially with the lights to accent it. And love your wallpaper behind!

Hi I love the way you hang your cards, I have been thinking of a way for a while. I am bedbound with M.E and am thinking of brightening up my room with a change, at the moment I have cards stuck around a large dresser mirror, not ideal, so thank you, and also for the lovely blog x Rose
