Lapland Revisited and Ohio State Basketball

Dear reader, You are probably wondering what Lapland has to do with Ohio State Basketball.  Actually, there is a connection. Lapland is a #1 destination for winter beauty and Ohio State is a #1 pick for an NCAA championship.

We actually had some readers from Sweden checking out our last Lapland posting.  Kind of fun to see the blog activity map with green all over the USA and then a green entry in Sweden.  And, with wallpaper so popular in Lapland, especially in the Jokkmokk region there may be a real business opportunity in the making.  In the meantime, Disney comes to Lapland--I have sent off Hannah Montana, Peace sign, train and solar system borders and decals for the rooms of some young Laplanders.  Once the products are installed we'll try to get photos to post for all to see.

So, feast your eyes on some more Lapland photos and on some Ohio State decals just in time for March Madness.

Until Spring comes to Ohio I think I will continue to show photos from Lapland--puts our snow days and freezing temperatures into perspective.

And, now on to Ohio State.  One can imagine that the two gentleman in the Lapland photo above are cheering for Ohio State and encouraging the Buckeyes to maintain their #1 ranking.

 

There is a large assortment of Ohio State related decals available in time for OSU's certain appearance in the NCAA March Madness playoffs.  We can only hope they have a long run all the way to the Finals and beyond.  Go Buckeyes!

Lapland--Ohio State

Can't get it out of my head

Even when all is done and said

Lapland as a destination is much fun

Just as Ohio State basketball is # 1

Though world's apart, there is a bond

One that reaches across the Atlantic pond

In Lapland they mine for tin

And in Ohio they seek a win

So here's hoping reindeer will find food

And the Buckeyes will be in a champion mood

GAME ON

It is that time of year---Sports Time.  We've been promising some photos about your favorite sports teams and this is Round 1in what will be a 3 part-series on sporting teams.  Today we feature the Cleveland Indians as they just played their last at-home game of the season.  Though they have struggled off and on the field and have failed to reclaim the glory of the magical 90's they did end on a high note having won their last six games.  We can only hope this will lead into a strong 2011 start.  We have a phenomenal closer in Perez; we just need some strong starters.  The symbol of the Indians is Chief Wahoo and the photo below shows a copy of a Wahoo Fathead.  U.S. Wallcovering is the only source for this mural and the supplies are going quickly.  Wahoo Fathead is shown above a Wahoo blanket.  The ratios in the photo are a little distorted--the Fathead is actually four feet high.

Cleveland Indians fans range in age from the very young to the somewhat older.  The pictures below attest to that.

The first picture is of P.W. from Cleveland, OH.  He has a room covered with Indians logos and pictures and signed baseballs and bats and he recently stopped by the U.S. Wallcovering store to add to his collection.  He found some Wahoo Border and let slip that "This Border's going up despite my  wife's wishes".  Well, Mrs. W., we hope you are not too upset and we hope Mr. W. is enjoying his most recent Indians merchandise.

 
On the right P.W. of Cleveland, OH shows off his latest Indians' purchase--several rolls of Indians' Border.  He was wearing his Indians' hat and was properly color-coordinated with his shirt.  When he saw the Wahoo Fathead featured in the picture above he was going to go home and measure to see if there was any available space.  We have not seen him back in the store so I guess he couldn't make it fit.

Although we are featuring Indians' related materials in this week's Blog, we have a full range of products representing many sports teams and are capable of obtaining wallpapers and borders for just about any sports team in the nation.  





And, in Houston, Texas, there is a ten-year old Little Leaguer who has developed a strong passion for the Indians as well.

Noah's dad surprised him recently with a Red-White-Blue painted room with Wahoo Border above the chair-rail.  Complete with Wahoo blankets on the bunk beds, Indian's pennants and pictures, an Indians' rug on the floor, an Indians' alarm clock-radio, Indians' calendar and a huge Wahoo Fathead, this room is all about one of Cleveland's favorite teams.

There must be other Indians' fans out there who would like to share their special sports rooms so save up those digital photos and send them our way for inclusion in a future Blog come Spring Training time. 

In the meantime, let's make the transition to football. 
Our Blog next week will feature a large selection of Ohio State Buckeyes' wall offerings from Fatheads to Borders and beyond.  So, make sure you tune in to 'For the Love of Wallpaper' next Thursday.

Take Me Out To the Ballgame

Take me out to the ballgame is a famous song

Not too short and not too long

Just the perfect length with words so right

We can only hope the Indians will be all fight

Come next spring will be the season to win

So parents can take their next of kin

To games with many a grand slam

And not too many fans to say oh damn
