With Valentine’s Day just a few weeks away, I thought now was a good time to share this vintage red clock face, although it would be perfect to use for Christmas projects as well. I can envision this used with some kind of, “it’s time for love” project. It is a vintage Russion clock face, and is a PNG image, so you can layer it with other images. {CLICK ON IMAGE TO SAVE FULL SIZE} If you love vintage clock images, {Read More}
Thrift Store Basket Makeover
February 2, 2015 by 12 Comments
While my family watched the Super Bowl last night, I was puttering around, trying to decide what to do with myself. I wasn’t in the mood to work on a big project, and really just wanted to work on something that didn’t require a lot of planning or thought. I went down to the basement to look for something that would be an easy project, and spotted this basket that I picked up several months ago. I bought it with the {Read More}
Wood Scraps and Antique Photographs
February 1, 2015 by 24 Comments
Recently, I bought a bulk pack of old ephemera on Ebay, and included were several antique photographs. Unfortunately, several of them were damaged or very faded. I’ll be honest – I almost pitched them, but once I looked at them more closely, and saw the people, not just a damaged photo, I couldn’t do it. I had to find something I could do with the photos, that allowed them to “live on”, while not just becoming a piece of paper scrap {Read More}
Looking Back at Old Blog Headers
January 31, 2015 by 12 Comments
I used to change my blog headers on a regular basis, to reflect seasons or a new favorite photo. It’s more challenging to do that now, as my header space is much more long and narrow, and isn’t large enough to accommodate most photos. I do like my header now, because it isn’t too “busy” looking, but sometimes I miss changing out my headers. For those of you who are new readers, I thought I’d give you a glimpse of what my {Read More}

These two fancy vintage frame images came from vintage playing cards. I removed the original design inside the cards, so you can add your own images or words inside the frames. I’ve created some Valentine and baby shower printables with these frames for you below.
Vintage Photo Mat Frame Printable

Last week, my buddy Betsy from My Salvaged Treasures (one of my Vintage Inspiration Party co-hosts), shared a photo on her Facebook page, showing how she uses vintage photos in mats to display the gorgeous jewelry that she makes and sells. When I spotted the frame with the gal in the fur stole, I asked Betsy if she would scan that photo and mat and send it to me, so I could share it with you all as a printable, {Read More}
Antique Dressing Table Makeover and Beagle Photo Bomb
January 29, 2015 by 23 Comments
Last month, I showed you the antique dressing table I found at a thrift store. I finished painting it several weeks ago, but it’s been too dark in my house to get a good photo of it, so I finally asked my husband and son to carry it outside so I could get photos in natural daylight. Here’s how it looks now. I don’t buy a lot of antique furniture, and when I do, I almost always get it at an auction {Read More}
Hiding My Dirty Secret Behind Closed Doors

Remember my previous bedroom that we transformed into a British-theme room for my youngest son? Didn’t that freshly painted closet door look wonderful? Well, after the remodel was finished, that closet door was hiding my dirty secret that I never thought I’d share with the world…
