I'd been keeping an eye open for a little while, so I was very very excited to finally come across some hangers in a charity shop recently. Lovely wooden ones. With felt pads on the inside all intact.
Just perfect for a little hanging masterplan I have been ruminating on.
See my drift? Just an example, you understand. Not the finished article. But pleasing nonetheless.
Well now. You are a very clever sort of Ali.

Lovely idea. I'm going to hunt for hangers like that around here.

Beautiful. What a clever girl you are.
Kids artwork would be another lovely idea.

Love the hanger idea...and I'm glad I'm not the only one who repurposes Toast catalogues. Jigsaw's are pretty good too. I'm over at craftdelight if you fancy coming to have a look.

Now, that is a marvellous idea - clever clogs! Have a lovely weekend. C

What a great idea! I'm going to keep my eyes out for hangers like these as they'd be great for our bathroom as we could update the picture regularly when it gets a bit soggy and steamy! I could even laminate some seasonal collages. As you can tell, I'm getting excited now! Have a fab weekend - fingers crossed it stays sunny. x

The simplest ideas are often the best. That picture of you again - just dawdling through the forest!

Interesting idea, I'm intrigued to see what else you're going to do. Like Tamara I immediately thought of displaying children's artwork when I saw this. It'd be easy to do a rotating display of favourite pieces like this - and for older children to have direct control of what's put up, thinking thinking...

Looks like you have another great idea brewing!
Posted by: lazylol | 22 March 2009 at 17:52
oooh...perfect. I'd love some of those hangers- though I might not be as creative.
Posted by: blackbird | 22 March 2009 at 23:37
I have a few of these hangers.Ummm....what can I display in them...?
Posted by: Kristy | 23 March 2009 at 17:03
You have such good ideas Ali. Off to the charity shops.....
Posted by: Rebecca | 25 March 2009 at 13:19

Posted by: Claudia | 28 March 2009 at 00:32
