salvation of the sake kind

Amid the trials of this past week, I found myself smiling when I came across this picture:


Some of you may remember the little decor arrangment my husband put together. It was his first attempt at decorating. He purchased a saki set and arranged it on our bar just so. :)





We both love sake and sushi....so Mr. B tried his hand at a vignette. I thought of it as a work in progress.

And then....I came across the opening pic in the Spring PB catalog. Maybe PB read my blog and knew I needed a little guidance. Maybe I wanted to make the sake set work and finally "saw" it.

All I know is that it made me laugh and I needed to laugh.

Now all I need is a buddy {ahem Gail} to help me bring those individual sushi plates to life because $50 for 6 is kinda silly.

Cheers~

PS I also want to thank each of you for your sweet words and warm thoughts. I am humbled by your compassion and empowered by your friendship.

  1. I need to take a close look but those look exactly like the "soap" trays we made in wood shop when I was in jr high. They were a blast to make but I don't know what ever happened to them.... I never took one home. (I think our teacher kept a stash of projects....)

  11. I love it when my husband gets involved, but my favorite is when I make a change and he nods with great approval.

  13. I haven't had a chance to let you know I'm so sorry for your loss. Prayers to you and your family!

    On a different note... I can't see a saki set now without thinking of how your husband surprised you with the little vignette! So funny : )

  14. If my husband ever so much as lifted a finger in the decorating department.....I'd be calling in the troops! OMG! I can't even imagine what he might conjure up :-O

    All kidding aside....I am so sorry for your loss!
    Prayers of peace being sent your way!

  15. Perhaps Mr. B actually knew what he was doing?! Just don't tell him that that. Bwhahahaha! When I open a PB catalog, I always think to myself, only PB can make the mundane look so chic & then I'm overwhelmed by the urge to find a knockoff. I'll let you know if I stumble across something similar!
