little bits of awesome: forgotten harlequins

Okay, so you guys know I love me some triangles and a good diamond pattern, which is probably why I adore everything at ferm living. My wardrobe is starting to resemble a harlequin's costume, so I've been making a conscious effort to acquire and accessorize with them in moderation.

But, when retrieving our Christmas items in the attic, I stumbled upon some plaques I had "borrowed" from my grandmother before she passed away 7 years ago. I say "borrow" because I told her I would sell them on ebay to get her some extra spending money because nothing brought her more pleasure than shopping and she was severely lacking on funds. But that never happened and now she's gone. Dammit.

So anyway, I took them thinking they were the most godawful kitsch pieces only a mid-century obsessed lunatic could love. But ya know, uncovering them again after all these years, I think I have since blossomed into that lunatic myself because I'm smitten, folks.

The orange and aqua combined with gold detailing. The plastic molded faux bois and the ridiculous harlequin costumes. They're super tacky, but oh so fabulous!

I'd like to paint the outer frames aqua to give them an extra pop.

So what do you guys think? Have I absolutely lost my mind?
