Life Can Imitate Art

(Flea Market Finds: brass shell, brass tray, pink book, coffee table book, mirrored place mat,
mirror, small buffet)
  

Walking through my living room today, after I placed a small

bouquet of zinnias from my garden on top of a favorite book, I made a simple connection.

Life at times does seem to imitate art.

Here is what I mean.

I noticed one of my suzani covered dining table chairs next to where I placed the zinnias, and I

realized the fabric reminded me of zinnias.

And so it goes.

It was not intentional.

I never have a grand plan.

The fabric remnant was purchased at a fabric outlet on Harry Hines

in Dallas several years ago.

My daughter and I were exploring, and we enjoy looking at fabric.

So this ‘connection’ today combined my beloved zinnias, a favorite fabric

purchased on a trip to see a beloved daughter,

and a flea market ‘found’ chair.

There is nothing better in my world .

Now to the practical:

*Explore whenever you can and wherever you are.

*Ignore the well meaning question of family members or friends who ask,

“Where are you going to use that or put that?”

If it calls to you, and you can afford it, buy it.

*There are far more lasting mementos from a fun trip than the typical

choices. How about a remnant of fabric instead?

*Go to a local thrift store or flea market.

The real treasures are there.
