Twine and vase.

I like twine.  I like its nubbiness, its texture.  Especially in the fall.  And especially when I find skeins of it in Target's $1 bin area.  I also found this cute vase set for a dollar there, last spring I think.  I love their shape.

 

I also liked what they said.  But the crooked lettering?  Not so much.  So I let Leo partially cover them with twine.  I had to help straighten up the rows when he was done.  And I handled the glue.  But the end result are some cute, fall-esque vases perfect for displaying the pretty leaves he collects on our walks.  He is fascinated with leaves and always finds some brilliantly colored ones. 

I also took some twine and covered an empty soup can. 

It'll go with Max to school tomorrow, packed with a few brownies, to thank a lovely friend for taking him, along with her daughter, to the National Book Festival on the National Mall.  He had a ball.  And remember how I told you he has a thing for Clifford?  She waited with him despite the long line and snapped this shot.  Max asked me to print it out "big, mommy, I want it big" and place it in a frame for his bedroom.  I think I owe her much more than brownies.
