Welcome everyone to Vintage Thingies Thursday If you have a love for vintage things, well....you have come to the right place. We have a really good time each and every week!!!
If you are new to this party, please take the time to read and follow the instructions for participating in Vintage Thingies Thursday, click HERE. I try and keep things fairly simple, so please make sure you follow the instructions. Please only ONE link per week. Lastly, if you link in, LINK back to my blog, so everyone can see all of the vintage goodies on display that day. If you don't link back here, they won't know who to visit......thanks so much. Lastly, try to make an effort to visit the other participants. I know myself, I get so behind and busy, but this year, I am going to do my best to visit each week.
I have an affection for vintage prints and always try and keep an eye out for any at estate sales or thrift shops. I have not come across any in a long time. I have a great print that my aunt gave me and it is a mountain scene with a black bear. I love it as well. I talked about it HERE.
However, a couple of weeks ago, I was at an estate sale on half price day. I spotted this fantastic 1920's print and had to have it. I love the landscape prints like this. This was a super bargain for $8.00.
I was disappointed when I went to pay to notice a man in front of me with another great print that I had not seen beforehand. I guess it was not meant to come home with me. This one however, did.
The areas in the print itself seem to be raised a little instead of laying flat. It really is a beautiful piece of art.
This small print is one I picked up at the same estate sale. I truly think this is an old Christmas card which was framed. I have not taken it apart to see, but it looks like that is what it is in the frame. No matter, I liked it and at $2.00.....you just can't beat that!
Hope you have a great week!! And happy Vintage Thingie Thursday to you all!
There are some memories so embedded in my memory bank that not even the "old timers disease: will erase. This was definitely one of them. Thanks for letting me enjoy it once again. Wonder if my "boyfriend" is still there? He caused me to leave that card.
ReplyDeleteThanks Suzanne for Vintage Thingie Thursday. I added one of the framed prints I picked up last month. LV reminded me to come on over. Have a great week.

Thank you for hosting Suzanne. I added my Mom's wedding dress which I have on one of my dress forms. Weddings (mine) are on my mind right now and October is getting closer.

it does look like a Christmas card x someone must have loved it or the person who sent it very much to go to the trouble to frame it x
