Yes, I know, I seem to be living at IKEA. I’m not, of course, but it is close-by and has been a godsend! Today I ran in for a couple more $8.00 throw rugs (which are really bathroom rugs, but who cares?) and I saw this set of cards. Each card has a reproduction of a Carl Larsson print. They are part of his “A Home” series. I have always loved his work and his depiction of home life in Sweden. These prints were $2.00. $2.00 for 5 prints. Then I bought 2 frames (2 for $2.99) and framed two of the prints. They are so charming I am going to have to go back and get 3 more so that I can frame all 5. I told you I was going to do this on a budget.
I had to frame these prints first since they involve a dog and knitting. Aren’t they lovely?
I’m not sure where I’m going to hang them here in the apartment but they will certainly add a great deal of charm when they are in place. (You can click on the photos to see more detail.)
More later.
Can you believe HiHo has NEVER been to IKEA?? We need a road trip when you get back. Take care!
Heidi just clued me in to your blog…and I’m enjoying getting to know you better! Love the photos and the apartment updates too! The Carl Larsen cards were a fab buy…I’ve always admired his work.
So cute! And I NEVER get tired of IKEA in any way, shape or form. :)
That top card of the little girl watering the geraniums is one of my favorite Carl Larsson paintings, and I have a card of it too. I live in a part of Seattle that was settled by Swedish and Norwegian families, who loved their heritage. It is still very prevalent, and Carl Larsson is beloved.
