Escape Adulthood: Challenge #4

Add something childlike (not necessarily childish) to your workspace or home.

I chose to add something to my home for 3 reasons:
1. I am on summer break, so it will be awhile before I could add something to my workspace.
2. I am a teacher, so I already have some childlike items in my classroom.
3. Because we have 6 people living in our home, which is not huge, I have adopted a sort of minimalist attitude to avoid clutter.  Therefore, if it's not in use, it's not in our house.  This would bring some decorative fun back to our home!

I figured out pretty quickly what I wanted to put up and, fortunately, I had something on hand I could use.  I LOVE dragonflies.  I think they are so delicate and beautiful.  Whenever I see one, it captures my attention.  To me they are just captivating and lovely.  I am not really a "girly-girl", but whenever I see one, I immediately think of whimsical fairies and enchanted forests.  I chose to hang this in the hallway between my dining room and kitchen.  It's a pretty high-traffic area for us.  Whenever I look at it I am reminded to take some time out of life's craziness to allow myself to be a little fun and fanciful.
