Last week, Mr. Bluebird and I went to Branson, MO to celebrate our 30th anniversary. Neither of us had been there before, but we had such a fabulous time. They have a beautiful riverfront area filled with shops, restaurants, and an hourly water show. We also saw several shows, the very, very best being a family group called The Haygoods. Any of you seen them? They are a-m-a-z-i-n-g! Check them out on YouTube. I highly recommend the song Shenandoah. Beautiful.
Now, you all know I couldn't leave that beautiful state without some kind of nifty remembrance to show off in our home. Coffe mug? Um, noooo. Collector spoon? Really, um, noooo. I decided upon a vintage Missouri license plate from 1982 (the year we were married). It's black and white, and is perfect. Did I think of this idea on my own? Also, um, noooo. I picked up this idea few weeks ago from Kelly atThe Essence of Home. She has the most amazing blog and her cute Frenchy license plate was my inspiration!
Did I mention how much I love this plate? (Only $3.99!)
Well, that's my ode to our wonderful, fun, amazing trip! Have a great rest of the week!
Wishing you happiness,
Jane

That looks super! I love Kelly's blog too, she really is great! THanks for sharing and joining in the newbie party.
ReplyDeleteI love this idea. I got one when I went to Aruba but your idea was better with the date you were married. Congrats to you both!

What a cute idea! We live in Wisconsin during the summer and fall; can't wait to get up there!

I love the vignette you created...the license plate is fun and unexpected. The wire basket really compliments it too. I'm a sucker for sentimental anything...so mixing it with home decor is always welcome in my book. Happy 30th Anniversary.
