good gossip - "giveaway"























A little gossip -From the famous "Gossip Girl" (see the ribbon board!)

Years ago when we toured Colonial Williamsburg, one of the "lady" guides explained how gossip was good and very much a part of the day, back in that day. I thought to myself, ya know, it is still good as long as it is in kind. So, on this fab friday, here's a little gossip, good gossip.


















mrr design - ribbon memento board (note pve design illustration) ta da!
Marnie creates these fab ribbon boards and frames on the side. She has a real job too. How cool is that to work and then come home to create. Even cooler is that you can have one of these memento boards in your entry or by your command station, you would be just like this famous Gossip Girl. How about a mud room kitted out with walls to display juniors art?

A memento board......


















mrr design - fab frame giveaway to one lucky commenter...
or a frame is also a nice way of posting notes to significant others, as you see these frames are easy to slip notes or photos or reminders to those we love. After all - little things add up to big things, right. My notes would be things like, take out the trash or do your homework.


















mrr design, an eco-friendly board. marnie uses natural or recycled fabrics too.
Perhaps we all need a little good gossip, so if you know of any great shops who need this sort of thing, these frames and memento boards or you have your own at home shop with a back room for gifting like some people I know. I just ordered a dirty dozen frames and one of you lucky commenters, leave me or Marnie a comment or some good gossip and I will pick one good winner on Monday, March 9th. (note mrr design header, is an original pve design!)

Listen carefully- because I don't repeat gossip twice!!! These are fabulous! I'm headed right over to have a peek. I can see lovely green images on birthday cards framed beautifully on these.

I'm so in on this! You know we've recently redone and that will actually be a wonderful neutral "pop" for me in all my colors.

I see my children's drawings, phone numbers, notes (particularly those adorable ones I get from pve)!

Good Morning Patricia,

I'm checking in to leave my daily little wish for a golden day!

I'm with Deb, I don't like to gossip, but I just might have to break the golden cardinal and spread the word on these beautiful boards.

I know, I would love an entire wall, a linen board or even in ticking... I could dream on the things that I clip or tear in hopes of inspiration leading to action!

Yes, I could see you loving one of these frames and then marketing it! To market, to market, I go!
