There's A NUMBER Of Reasons To Love This Post Today

"Surround yourself with quality, not clutter.  Buy it once, and buy it right."                  ~Marni Jameson

I'm writing about numbers today.  No, not as in mathematics or finances, but as in beautifully designed numbers made of cast iron by Rob's Rustics.  Look at our beautiful copper painted numbers on our Red Painted Cottage...





They came from Rob's Rustics.


Remember the copper boiler I showed you the other day?  Well, hint, hint...it may have something to do with these gorgeous copper numbers.  Our neighbors have even commented on how beautiful our new numbers look.  

In addition to using these for house numbers, they can also be used in a number of other ways.  Did you know that many weddings are now numbering their tables with numbered centerpieces? 


This beautiful coral color was screwed into a block of 2 x 4 wood, that had been stained and covered in burlap and lace.  This would look lovely for a barn wedding or any wedding held in the country or other rustic setting.





Aqua is so popular right now.  But this would look great in silver or gold for special anniversary celebrations.



A fall or even November wedding would look stunning with white pumpkins and white sunflowers, along with the teal numbers and burlap. 


Or even with hydrangeas!


If you need ideas to make it a bit classier, use a silver frame with an old book page about love and marriage.  Then tie the beautiful white, silver, copper or any other colored number onto the frame with a wired ribbon and attach a burlap flower.  Boxwood always looks great anywhere.







How easy is this...just lean the numbers against a stack of old books with a boxwood arrangement on top.



Table numbers aren't just for weddings.   They can be used for any celebration, including baby showers, bridal showers, anniversaries and bar mitzvahs.



Aren't they all beautiful?  In addition to house numbers and table numbers, they would be great for mailboxes and to hang above hooks or on baskets.  Use your imagination.
