Is it any surprise that I love words? ;)
I'd much rather decorate my house with words and photographs than tchotchkes. Artwork is nice too, but I don't know anything about it and it can be really expensive. I don't have any. Well, except for Norman Rockwell prints. :)
Michael Podesta is my favorite calligraphy artist; I wish I could order the entire catalog! I stayed with some friends of his once, and their entire house was filled with his originals. It was fabulous to see God's Word so beautifully displayed everywhere.
I've attempted calligraphy myself, but have never become proficient. I've never been able to paint, so even if I could do calligraphy on paper, I doubt I could do it on the walls like I've seen other women do. But, there may be an option for me now. Cling. I just heard about this contest that Becoming A Woman of Virtue is hosting. She's giving away a Fruitful Vine Creation. Go check out their website and find out how easy they make it to decorate your house with eloquent words.
Grace and Peace,
Angel

I got an original of his as a wedding gift-- it was from a friend of his. I love it--it was one of my favorite gifts.
You just wanted to make me go look up the word "tchokchkes", didn't you?? I'll save everyone else the effort (unless of course, I'm your dumbest reader and everyone else already knows what it is):
tchotchkes: a cheap, showy trinket
I agree. Nothing worse than a cheap, showy trinket. Although if you're a trinket, I guess you might as well be showy and cheap!? Wonder if my 2nd favorite word nerd (you can be my 1st), David Cook, knows what that is?
And WHERE on earth do you learn these things? I'd like to impress my friends, too!
And just how do you pronounce that? Every time I see it I think of Chachi .... as in Joanie Loves
Hey, I am a fan of Podesta too.
Sorry I haven't posted in awhile. I find it harder to get over there since you switched formats. But you are not forgotten.
Blessings,
Jennifer
