For the love of labels......

Ok, so I borrowed the title of this post from Sue's blog.....but I don't think she will mind! So my latest project has been some new art in the kitchen. We previously had some very generic chef prints that I bought a long time ago and they were appropriate given Kevin's profession, but we were both tired of them and as I said before, they were very generic. Anyway, I have always had a thing for vintage produce labels, Kevin brought me back some postcards from a trip to New Orleans with some on them and I have some dishes with that theme, but I have always wanted to frame some and have them on the wall. Last week, I found a site online that had pictures of labels online, so I saved a few (or 12) to my computer and then played around with the colours and resizing them and then printed them out on our printer and bought some frames at IKEA to frame them in. Kevin kindly helped me hang them, since I am terrible at hanging pictures and the finished product is below!




Here are some closeups of a few, this first one I had to use because of Sue of course!



I really like the 50's feel of this one!



This one I didn't like at all in the beginning, but now it's one of my favourites!



This little apple cowboy is so cute too :)



Last week we also went up to Mont Tremblant for one night to visit Kevin's parents so it was a fun way to shake up our routine :) Silly me forgot to pack a sweater for Miles so here he is wearing Kevin's coat......



And drinking Kevin's beer....not really of course
