I have always enjoyed photographs that show the little details - or just part of a picture that allows me to use my imagination to finish it.
I also like the word snippet. It's fun to say.
This post is about snippets.
Picture snippets, to be exact.
I have found that they are quite usefull when the "big picture" is not camera ready!!!
So, I traveled the house and photographed small bits of things that I really love.
Unfortunately, I deleted more that I saved!!!
But, "practice makes perfect", right?
Here is a hodgepodge of snippets of "A Few Of My Favorite Things" at Blue Creek Home.

Hey Rhonda! Thanks for visiting me and for signing up as a follower, although I don't like that term. Let's just say firends! And also for linking to my blog.
ReplyDeleteYour snippets are simply beautiful! You decorate a lot like my middle sister. She loves beautiful things and angels, cherubs, etc and she is an artist. I can tell that you are too!
While I find those things equally beautiful, my tastes prefer things that have been loved to pieces or needing someone to breathe life into them again! LOL!
I look forward to coming back and visiting you. I will also sign up on your follow list.
Have a great weekend!
Rhonda,
ReplyDeleteLoved the snippets ~ such lovely items in your home. Thanks for sharing.

ReplyDeleteOh what a tease! I can't wait to see "the rest of the story". They are beautiful shots. I love the line about enlarging to see vintage dust!

Snippets? Is that the same as a tease? :)I love your snippets, they have so much character and make me want to see more of everything, when you are ready. Thanks for visiting my summer porch entry post and for your kind words.
