I found the corbel first and then the hunt for the right size and color book, I really lucked out with this 25 cent book at a thrift shop.
I think I found the perfect bookPopular Home Decoration
The corbel just needed some cleaning.
I gave the technical side of the project to my husband, he measured twice, drew a line and screwed the book down. I wanted the screws not to show so we opened the book up first.
I forgot to take picture of the back but I added 2 saw teeth hangers on the corbel.
The Stop and Smell the Flowers framed embroidery came from the "Cutest Thrift Store on the Block" for 99 cents!
The camera, an oldie I had for a while, and the whole little arrangement

And as a reminder, the umbrella (50 cents at a yard sale)

O I love, love, love that idea! I'm definitely going to give that a try. I have a few corbels and just like you said, the thought of a board just seemed so "been there".
