I just ran across this incredible project on the lovely blog, Poetic Home, and it stopped me in my tracks!Grace Light decided to offer her husband an unusual and heartfelt homemade gift for their recent wedding anniversary:
"This is an antique wooden library card catalog box that now will hold the chapters of our relationship and life together. I created faux Dewey Decimal catalog cards, where the book number is replaced by milestone dates, chapters of our love overwrites book titles, and important locations substitute publisher cities. One day, when we are both old and wrinkled, I hope we will be able to fill the box completely with our life’s chapters together."
hyromaBeautiful, beautiful. I wonder if I can do a version of this for Keith by our October wedding?
ReplyDeleteI love that some couples are like this.
ReplyDeleteIf I did this for my husband, he would have me under observation.
I saw this over at design sponge today too. sweet idea. i would die if mr. gave this to me.
ReplyDeleteSo tender, creative & inspiring.
ReplyDeletei saw this on design sponge too and just about died!! kind of perfect for the lifetime academics we are (we catalog our books by LOC numbers, because we are insane). but i think the english major (me) would like it better than the econ (him). hehe.
ReplyDeletegreat posting, very creative..
ReplyDeleteI sighed with happiness reading this! So touching, and what a unique way of telling one's love story.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your sweet mention and kind words!!
