It is going to be a gorgeous day
here in Umbria. I’m silly about
the weather and think about it way too much. When I was young I wanted to be a meteorologist. I’m really glad I changed my mind. I have one friend who thinks what
you wanted to be as a child does reflect who you become. He says, "I should have known I would be
gay when I was always rearranging my bedroom at 8 years old!" He became a photographer.
I go crazy for the this pink and gold |
if only I could have an armoire or dresser in the same chippy style |
Today I want to do a post
of showing how I love empty picture frames. I have done this for years way before it was in style (hasn’t
it always been in style?). Well
before people used to come into our home and say, “What’s going on?” I would respond, “There you can see the
future”.

this is where we leave our keys |
cool reflection |
and reflecting the painting in front of it. |
Plus I love the massiveness of
empty walls and I believe in lots of good art and beautiful photographs.
This gorgeous little gold frame I brought in Ecuador with the same friend who became a photographer. He was such a jerk, when I said I didn't want to buy it because I would have to carry it all the way home. He said, "You can enjoy it for the rest of your life, or regret it for the rest of your life".

painted olives bring peace |
Sometimes I put this little photo I took of Elisa, she was so tiny then.
To me empty frames are just fun
to play around with.
here's in my studio with a inner frame, photo, plus wire, crystal and ripped velvet ball |
that's me at 13. I'm glad I didn't become a meteorologist or a ballerina |
Empty frames they may be temporary and on
their way to becoming part of something more important.
Cheers,
Natalie
