The severity of the virus isn’t enough – we also have to endure all the residual disappointments – cancellations of 30th birthday parties, bridal and baby showers, weddings, graduations. As ‘change the date’ cards start to flood mailboxes, I can’t help but feel sad for the many wonderful celebrations that were so lovingly planned only to be crushed by the virus.
With the months – often years – involved in planning, I really can’t imagine having to reschedule a full-blown wedding! Can you?
I’ve been thinking a lot about the people I know with upcoming weddings and that is what inspired the second ornament design in my current black and white collection. Why black and white? I grabbed the black and white paint for my first ornament designs (the Schitt’s Creek series in my last post) and just decided to keep those two colors in play.
I love white birch trees and have used them in a lot of different ways in décor – both in store displays and at home. Maybe it is a tribute to my many years of tent camping! Using a white birch design on a wood slice seems a natural fit – don’t you think? It is an easy, graphic design. Thinking of all the brides I know to be married this year, I made up a bunch of these ornaments, just adding the appropriate initials to each. They can be boxed up as a gift or tied onto an engagement gift package!
I hope this inspires you to honor the upcoming brides you know who may be affected by the virus.
Thanks for stopping by!
Take pleasure in simple things and stay healthy, Jackie
