Vintage Inspiration & Vintage Black Friday

Here are some fun ideas for Fall displays.
A rusty tin filled with artificial flowers.
Put a bit of sand in the bottom to weight it down,
then stuff some old music paper in the can to hold them in place better.
And see the crow nest on the black metal chair?
Draping tea stained cheesecloth around softens everything.

You can fill a box with unrelated goodies.

You can put anything orange or black or fallish
colors together to make your fall display.
Like this old black fan.
See the crow's nest pumpkin in the picture above?
It is on a heavy iron candle holder.
Elevating things makes them look even better.

Here is a black clock and some bronzed baby shoes.
Fun filler for your display.

And here is some really great Vintage Black Friday.
I got this trunk. Really old, Grandma's trunk.
And in the trunk, were lots of treasures.
I'll show you the black ones today. =)
Talk about old books.
These covers were completely worn off.
Just tied on with a ribbon.
But the insides were like they had never been opened.
The one on the right is black.
It is an 1859 William Wordsworth Poetry book.
And look at this.
Pulled them out and....
I think these must have been Grandma's shoes too.

This trunk was filled with treasures.
I'll show you more another time.

Some of you have seen the "Friends" Collages I do.
Here is a new take on it.
"Sisters"
