We all know that
the 25th anniversary is the silver anniversary.
the 25th anniversary is the silver anniversary.
The 50th is the golden.
What are the others?
Umm . . .Oh yes, the first is paper, right?
Well, Anthropologie has permanently solved this dilemma for me.
I have discovered that this year,
year 8,
was the bronze anniversary.
Ooops . . . I called it the Brass
the other day in my To Market post.
Sorry.
Maybe, Brass is the poor man's bronze?

Anyway, as some of you may know from reading this post,
my anniversary was this past Tuesday, April 26,
but life got in the way
so I got this Anthropologie anniversary project
done a few days late.

C'est la vie!
This project is actually ridiculously simple.
I immediately knew that it was going
to be my anniversary gift to the Cuban Cowboy.

I know you are thinking,
"ummm . . . that's not very manly."
I know this.
However, each year what I do for our anniversary
is purchase something for our bedroom,
is purchase something for our bedroom,
typically new sheets or a comforter set.
However, we weren't really in need of either at this time.
So, instead I am taking this super cute dish towel
and I am making something for my bedroom.
Here are the tools:
Dishtowel
heat and Bond
Twine/Jute
Dowel
Iron

First, I washed the dishtowel and ironed it nice and flat.
Then I folded the top over about 1 1/2 inches and used Heat and Bond to seal it down.
Next I inserted a thin wooden dowel that I had cut to size
(really, Monster broke it in the car on the way home from Michael's. No saw necessary).
Finally, I attached some twine to each end of the dowel and hung it from a nail in the wall.
VOILA!!!
