A bit of a departure, but then again, maybe not. All of the elements of a garland: string and paper triangles. Sculpture by artist Caitlin Gallupe.

Origami Butterflies made from the pages of vintage books. Lovely little fluttery things. Makes me think of Valentines.

Lumbini, believed to be the birthplace of Siddhartha Guatama, the Buddha. In the beginning of the PBS documentary "The Buddha" these translucent prayer flags wave in a gentle breeze under a pristine sunset. A beautiful opening to an interesting film.

Can you see that up in the upper left-hand corner? Paper airplanes strung together! What a great idea for a garland. And this one gives the theme in the room a new dimension. Not just flat airplane decals of art on the walls, but airplanes flying through.

When I first saw a photo of these I thought they were real peeps on a string. That would be cute, too, although I might be tempted to eat them. Of course, I'm always tempted to eat them. And once I do I greatly regret it.

Four garlands! And some dangly things on the side there. I would not be able to have the dangly things due to 3 children under 3 who like to swing and pull and chew and whatnot. But 4 garlands up high like that would be a great thing to see in their room. Until they wore me down with, "Hab it, hab it, hab it!!!" (Have it)

I believe these are little envelopes with Christmas/Advent ideas in them, but I also like the idea of numbers on a string. We are learning to count here, and this would be a fun way to practice.

Diminutive black triangles on string leave room for more wall decor. Is that a mermaid with mittens and scarf?

I like how these circles twist at angles from each other on the string. They look to be made of paper and bring to mind delft plates.

Garland unplugged. The description is in German, but I'm guessing these are decals.
