bright with cheer

Since I wake long before the crack of dawn to work, I need my space to bright with cheer and inspiration.  This will do the trick for now.
 P.S....
Lately, I have been obsessed with stretching things over d.i.y. frames.  I bought this tea towel at an estate sale and have been wanting to frame it.  Well I searched high and low for a frame, but have come to the realization that this project required a custom frame. Since I am constantly updating this corner of my office I didn't think it wise to spend money on a custom frame.  So I headed to Lowe's and spent $3 on wood to make my own frame. So cheap and so easy.

**UPDATE: Here is the DIY tutorial
