one year down, forever to go…

This weekend marks my one year wedding anniversary, and as I was looking for a gift to buy for my amazing, sweet husband of one year, I went back to the traditional list of anniversary gifts by year.  Year one: paper… Seriously, paper? What am I supposed to buy a man that is paper?

But I am a sucker for tradition so I have been thinking for the last few weeks of what to get Matty for the first special remembrance of our wedding.  The thought came to me to buy art.  Something he can hang, something he can look at and think of me, and something that won’t go bad, be used up, or fade away.  In my search for something beautifully romantic and simple I came across some of these inspiring pieces of art which are all hearts.

It made me reflect on the past year, the start of something new, and made me want to put these pieces all over my house!

Okay, so the last one wasn’t a heart, but it couldn’t be closer to the truth!  The one I actually choose to buy him was a bit more masculine and could go up in his man cave without getting giggles from his friends – or maybe just a few!
