Can I Have Your Number???

When I was thinking about doing this post (I knew I wanted to do it on numbers) I couldn't get that dumb Mad TV spoof out of my head (see attached link at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a69FoZ1r8F8&feature=related). So that's why I titled it "Can I Have Your Number?". You see, I simply love numbers and I seem to find multiple ways to display them around the house. What is it the makes them so fun? They just seem to add a little extra to some otherwise plain things. So I hope you enjoy them as much as I do! Oh, and you have a beautiful day!

This is my #7 collection. It's my consignment number at a few places I sell at. I have a mixture of pieces and I don't know what they were exactly used for. Just love how they look together!

Up close look at some of my 7s.

This is an old metal file box. I just stenciled the numbers on it.

This is actually a European house number I picked up at one of the vintage import places. I bought several of them and I have them scattered around the house. Here I added it to a Chinese Basket I also found there.

Another example of a European house number where I simply framed it.

And here I added it to an old army basket.
Love these!

What is it with me and house numbers???? Actually this is a vintage piece I simply changed out to be my house numbers. Is it for the birds?

These are magnets made by a friend of mine. Love the big sunflower in the picture (and my son of course).

What's behind door #1? Actually just my bedroom, but on all the bedroom doors upstairs I placed a number (similar to that sold by UpperCase Living). My son's room, door #2, pays the most rent! LOL!

Bet you can't guess where this number is from? Well maybe some of you can, if you're a farmer. It's a cow tag. Makes a great addition to a bottle of wine (notice the bottle is almost empty). Hic!

This vintage locker basket already had the numbers on it. Love the color!

These are old grain scoops. I cleaned 'em up (boy were they dirty) and stenciled the number on them. I have #1 through #3 hanging from a chippy pillar in my bathroom. They look beautiful with a tealite in them.

This is actually a necklace give to me from another JMS member. I just embellished a hand towel with it.

Okay, maybe one more picture of house numbers . . . ha! This was purchased at an occasional sale. Not my house number, but cute just the same.

More cow tags (or do we want more cow bell...ha)! This time I attached an old key to it and it hangs from a new Pottery Barn sign. Any one need a room?

Here's a closer look. Notice the old Sheriton key?

Finally, a recent purchase of mine, this necklace. It has a number on it. No significance. Just an awesome piece!

Hope you liked my collection. I'd love to hear your thoughts and maybe what you collect. Have a great fourth of July weekend and stay safe!
