One Of My Most Favorite Birthday Gifts Ever

Was given to me this year from Blake.

He hand-made this shadow box.....inspired by many we've seen over the years in Anthropologie's "Special Finds" category.

The backdrop is a file folder. Stick from the yard. Wood frame and mounting found behind our patio - believe it fell off our neighbor's fence. Wax birdy from Anthropologie, already in our house.

Total cost: $0
Total meaning: countless

So, I've been inspired to do something fabulous with our temporary decor on our fireplace mantle. Stay tuned!

I'm impressed, too! What a meaningful gift.

You guys are too precious. What you have is rare. I think you know that, though :)

Wow...very impressed by Blake! He may need to call Trey and give him some tips.
Very cool.

My husband would never make a gift, so your husband is the best! I laugh every time I read the book you are currently reading. Have you seen the movie of it? My husband and I laugh every year when it is on.

Ok, you're right; I'm asking myself right now, in my head of course, what's the deal with my brother!

Great job, Blakers! Proud of you and love.you.no.matter.what! :)
