Last week we had a few give-aways over on Cactus Creek’s FACEBOOK page {more contests coming soon, including an epic prize that will happen on Jan. 4th – don’t miss it!!}  I digress… one of the holiday-give-aways was for the Friendship Bell Bracelet and my 3 boys picked the random winner.  A couple of people have asked me how that worked, exactly, and it turns out I videoed it for proooof.  HAPPY MONDAY!!!!  xofancy

Without question Pottery Barn’s famous walls of black & white photography have influenced the trend to pair common photos with mismatched frames.  Whether you have a simple photo of a child in an over-sized frame, or a dozen photos spanning a 12 foot wall, photography is a classic option for bringing character and charm to an otherwise big, bland space.   

I would love to have a private collection of images from my favorite photographer, but our strict, ‘family-of-5′ budget won’t allow for such indulgences.  The next best source of images with a Rustic * Western * Vintage vibe is from books and magazines {and calendars!!}.  Here are just a few of the many sources that will provide you with a plentiful supply of images for switching out whenever you choose…

COWBOYS

COWGIRLS

NATIVE AMERICANS

RUSTIC

CLASSICS

Combining images like those found in the books and calendars above, along with family photos, postcards, horse show ribbons, and concert tickets, creates an interesting focal point for any room in your home.

For great frames you can always go to Pottery Barn, Target, or your local hobby store.  Have fun with it and enjoy changing the pics out every now and then to keep it from getting old!!
