Here’s a little installation that we have up on the wall of our new living room.
The photographs are of family. The bottom one is Sherrie and Steven Erickson on their wedding day this January (Sherrie is my mother-in-law). The top left photo is a silhouette of Mr. Wetzel and me kissing on our wedding day, three years ago. Both these wedding photos were taken by Stacy Wagoner. In the photo on the right, I am the newborn baby; this was the first family picture of my entire nuclear family, taken back in 1982.
I love gold frames. Some have been gifted to me. Others have been handed down. The one below I found at a garage sale for 25 cents. I bought the wooden letters from Micheals and painted them black. Yes, they are stuck directly to the wall.
I hope, in the future, to add more photos of family and friends to this wall. For now, I like the balance of whimsy and nostalgia that the display evokes each time I walk past it.
