Let's Talk Vintage #20: Finding Treasures in My Vintage Stash

 

Welcome to Let's Talk Vintage!

This is the twentieth week

for this fun vintage lovin',

 blog get together.

 

I've been having a blast seeing

what everyone brings

to the party each week.

 

This week I'm sharing how I did not

go out to find vintage goodies,

but just looked through my vintage stash.

 

 

 

 

Can you believe this awesome frame

was laying around hoping I would

notice it and all of its greatness?

 

Can't tell you how many times I

overlooked it here in my office.

I added the antique postcard

and VOILA! I had art.

 

And not just art, but a new

TREASURE.

 

 

 

And although a little shabby this vintage

aqua tin picnic basket also sits

in my office, waiting for me to notice it.

 

This week I finally did.

 

 

This is an Argus C3 camera... also noted for its use

in the Harry Potter movie by the Collin Creevey

character.

 

And yep, it was found, right here

in a box, in my office!

 

 

 

And last but not least,

this treasure has been waiting

for the hubs and I to re-frame it.

Gorgeous, no?

 

 When we took it

out of the frame there was an old
Boston Herald newspaper behind

it from the 1870's. So of course,

I am super curious to know

who the artist was. Initials

 are E.C.B. Mysterious!

 

We are almost done re-framing.

While working on it, the hubs

accidently broke the original, old,

antique bubbled glass.

I'm not upset. Too much.

 

No, seriously, I think we can find new

"old" glass at a place nearby.

 

When it is finished it is going

to find a prominent

place in my office.

How could I not with the

beautiful "Bella" roses?
