this afternoon my hubby and i ventured back to our old neighborhood during our college years in Chicago's Gold Coast....my sister was featured in a performance of 17th century song...along with two instrumentalists playing these crazy 17th century instruments....teeny tiny guitars and cello-like things... (im sure she appreciates my layman's description!) anyway, the concert was held at her church, St. Chrysostom's on Dearborn....every time we go, i am taken with the beauty of the architecture...the windows...the pews...the lantern-style lights...
in addition to breathing in the beauty of 17 century music and stained glass windows, i did a lot of crafting this weekend (which you will see on here in days to come!)... i finished one of two book page wreaths for leigh's wedding(see above)...
i also ripped apart some old, broken chairs (empowering!) to use the legs for my second vintage suitcase table...i painted them this yummy Martha Stewart color...i forget the name, but it is another Home Depot sample...i still havent totally figured out how I am going to attach them to the suitcase... i may have to forsake the Gorilla glue this time, take my dad's advice, and use some powertools....
lutes, theorbos and violones. :)
