upon returning from my summer travels i made a 'bits and bobs' wall... i did not set out to make one, however that is what sometimes happens. i like 'bits' and i like 'bobs' so i am thinking this wall suits me perfectly. one lovely little thing stuck on the wall is joined by another and before you know it a whole collection of inspiring 'bits and bobs' have come together to make one big 'bits and bobbies' bit of grandness. i have seen some simply spiffy wallpapers which feature collections and i feel my 'bits and bobs' wall has a similar feel to it. *i like that it can be changed around at whim, *i like that certain bits and certain bobs mean certain things to me, *i like that it fits so peachily in my sewing alcove above Miss Ethel, and best of all *i like that it inspires me to be creative she is wishing you a creatively inspiring weekend and thanking you most kindly for the lovely comments of late and the wonderful emails in her inbox ~ Tif
Wouldn’t it be lovely to have a sensory board in the garden for the kids to play with? Here is how to make one completely effortlessly! This is one of those perfect summer activities for toddlers & preschoolers that can be done using pretty much anything in your home – especially the old pots and pans, empty bottles and other brick a brack that you have lying around and don’t want littering the garden. Not only does it work out to be so much fun for them, but it is also a great way to get them exploring sounds and how to make music. What you will need: Some kind of board or palette A drill or screwdriver Various different bottles, pots, pans etc A wooden spoon, drumsticks, basting stick etc These are a few of the things I used and needed for my sensory board. You can use literally anything! The bottles were really easy to do and they swivel! Three different utensils for banging on things…I mean, making music! First things first, make sure that your board or the part that you are fitting your bits and bobs to is really secure and sting enough to hold these things, plus take a bit of a beating. From there, use screws and fasteners and screw on your utensils to the board, depending on how you want your board to look. Try not to have them touching because that will distort sound, but do try to choose a variety of things to make different noises. Don’t use anything that is easily smashed or broken, i.e stick to wooden salad bowls, metal pans, metal cooling racks etc. To secure them using a screwdriver, or drill, with nails that won’t stick out the back. I also added to mine a couple of plastic bottles filled with various things. I pushed the nail through to make a hole, which I then widened to get the nail head through. Once I had done that I flipped the bottle over and hammered the nail into place, so the bottle was secure. Then I filled each bottle with different things! I also added some old plastic jelly moulds which I hooked onto a nail so they swivel back and forth. Underneath I painted a little block of colour for fun. They loved pulled back to moulds to see which colour was underneath. This was before the board was even finished! Toby loves it, he spent ages banging on the pan, and then unhooking an re hooking the moulds! Here is some inspiration for other sensory boards that I have found on pinterest: Via Elizabeth Ramos, I think this is a brilliant sensory board so fun and full of things to open and shut! Toddler heaven! What about reusing old toys that don’t get played with anymore? Great idea from Sarah Copeland. The sky is the limit and you can add whatever you want to the board. Once you are happy that the pieces are secure you can bring out the wooden spoons, drumsticks, metal spoons etc for using as tools to tap the music board with. Simple!

In France, hanging art salon style means putting lots of different paintings together on one wall to create a focal point.Salon style dates back to 1670 and the French Royal Academy of Art and Sculpture.. Around that time, the Academy began exhibiting the works of recent graduates at year's end. In order to fit them all in one room, the curators would arrange the works next to and on top of each other, something that had never been done before.The style caught on and was first embraced in this country by Minnesota lumber baron Thomas Barlow Walker. From him, it spread to other Gilded Age giants like Pierpont, Morgan and Rockefeller. As an admitted Francophile, I've always been a fan of salon style walls.It's a gallery of a wall, like an art exhibit that you make yourself. Usually the edges are not aligned and there's a mix of styles, sizes and colors. Salon walls have more of an eclectic look, and feel no need to match frames or position the pieces in a perfect grid pattern. It uses a variety of frame styles, frame details and frame colors.There are no rules, but there are some strategies or your wall design can be completely random. Choose any arrangement pattern you like and apply it. You will soon notice that your house will become a gallery because the moment people walk in, the arrangement is the magnetic force that pulls them to take a closer look.
