{ Photo’s of my Moodboard for Blogging Your Way eClass }
Boy did I love doing this project! This moodboard is about old and found objects.
The newspaper clipping are from my Great Aunt Elise. She had clipped and put them into one of her books. The clippings are from the early 1900′s and they’re called “Parlor Games”. It’s so fun to read about these games and to think they had just themselves and books for entertainment as these clippings where pre radio! In the lower left corner you see an illustration of a bird and some handwriting. My Great Aunt Elise was a teacher and taught school during the depression. They couldn’t afford a ton of books so she would make and illustrate her own! The jewelry is from an estate sale. I bought the necklace and earrings for $2. Gotta love that! The flowers are from my garden. And lastly, the book in the upper right corner is over a 100 years old. It’s “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” by Harriet Beecher Stowe. There are so many things I find fascinating about this book. One, it’s written by a woman well before we had rights. Two, the actual material is so profound on so many levels. Three, for such a “heavy/intense” book I find it interesting the publisher decided to pick flowers to put on the cover. Do the roses with thorns convey the content inside or where they added to make the book look pretty? Hmm, what do you think?

I LOVE your moodboards (and this is the first time I’ve posted a comment – anywhere, ever, so I really do love them!!). What about those gorgeous glittery pegs?! Did you make them?? Well done.
Elizabeth! here I am after seeing your inspiration board on Flickr! lovely one as I mentioned
I am fond of the design of your blog as well and was wondering if you designed it yourself.
Let me know as i am currently thinking to get mine re-designed…
Oh, that’s beautiful! You’ve inspired me to pull out the glitter and glitter up a few clothes pins for my “inspiration string” hanging above my desk! I love it. Maybe I’ll do some oranges, pinks and reds for the new fall season!
Hi Pixie, I can’t wait to see what you come up with : )
Your photography is genius! I arrived via the e-course and I shall definitely be back. : )

Another BYWer here. I’m really drawn to your style. I really enjoy your love for old things, not just for their beauty but also for the stories they tell. You’ve done a beautiful job with this mood board. I love the story it tells.
Hi, fellow BYW student. Love your mood board. I never quite finished mine – but you’ve inspired me to complete it and post it to my blog. I love each unique touch you gave it. It’s so fun to see everyone’s different personalities on display.
Love your style.
