Decorating HP Style.. not a food post!

January 8, 2012

For Christmas, Alex got me 2 collage style photo frames with four 5×7 frames in each, and so I’ve been finding pictures to fill them with:  family, friends, my sister’s wedding, the kitty.. and then I stumbled upon some wonderful Harry Potter typography art on Pinterest, and now I want to finally finish decorating the rest of my apartment with frames.  By the way that my email’s been blowing up with repins of these prints, it’s obvious that most people like these just as much as I do.

Key example here:

I love a good Sirius Black quote.  *swoon*

Here’s one that describes my life so, so well:
After perusing all of Priscilla’s beautiful typography art over at the readables, I wanted to make my own little print to frame using one of my favorite quotes from a fan fiction I read not too long ago.. yes, I read fan fiction.  It’s the only thing I can do to satiate my need for stories of the marauders’ days at Hogwarts.  Anyway, in the story I read, this quote was one that James Potter’s mother always told him as a child, “Don’t chase the quaffle if you see the snitch.”  Great quote on life, yeah?  It’s probably one of the first things I read out of a fan fiction that I’ve actually kept with me.  Oh, and by the way, if anyone out there is a reader of Marauder Era fanfic, this was the story.
So I found a beautiful snitch drawing on Deviant Art and had some fun with it..
Now, I just can’t wait till I get some more frames and hang these all over the place!  And today was originally supposed to be a reading day.. sigh.
