I
personalised this pinboard using a map of the Derbyshire Dales.
It was an ordinary plain wooden framed cork
board when I bought it. I covered the
cork with a piece of vintage map and painted the frame in a shade of green that
I somehow associate with the 1930s – the sort of shade that was used to paint
the gates and front doors of those houses associated with the sunburst motif.
The
finishing touch was to drill holes in the frame and thread through some rustic
looking garden twine in a criss cross fashion.
This
hangs next to my bedside table in the corner of the bedroom (hence the rather
dark picture, artificially lit). It is now full of tiny treasures such as beloved family photos
and trinkets. There are snippets of
favourite pieces of art and bits of my sewing. I also have a bunch of lavender
from the garden, delicately scenting my corner.
It
is my little shrine to Athene, Greek goddess of crafts, wisdom and brave
endeavour.
