Instead of giving each other a book or concert tickets, I convinced Peter that we should pick out a new painting for our first wedding anniversary (less than a week away!).
This post by Emily Henderson led me to Linda Donohue's pretty shop. Oh, how I love her work!
These two abstract paintings were among my favorites, but the few pieces of "real" art we own have this kind of look and feel. And I kind of wanted the painting we chose to feel a bit more wedding-ish, since it's to celebrate our anniversary.
This lovely floral painting was the winner! I love that it has lots of pink and blue -- our wedding colors. I'm so excited to have it in our home for years to come!
what a fantastic idea! and congrats on the first year!!! i may be shamelessly copying you in one year and 38 days time :)
ReplyDeleteHappy (almost) anniversary! I really like your idea of the gift. Cheers!
