Victorian to Rust

 Happy White Wednesday everyone.
I have a bit of this and that today.
These are pics of a beautiful, and delicate white
 Victorian dress. Hand beaded......
 (excuse background pumpkin fabric. Was in a hurry to photograph it)
 This is the neck.....
 More of beautiful hand beading....
 just love this.....
I have the neck, part of bodice, and part of back....
(the 16 eye hooks part).
 Shabby white Fall sign I did.
 Rusty white name plate on my 'new' Buffalo scale.
 Old wall heaters.
shabby, chippy white.
I will  take heaters off back, then maybe
mount rest on wall and use to hang pics on.
Any other ideas????
 
oh oh! Just thought of something else I could do.
Take that wire piece out and use rest as frame.
Then have wire to play with too..=)

Thanks for coming by

Blessings

    The Victorian dress is gorgeous, so much detail. What a great idea to use the front of the heater for a frame...love it.

    Hello Barbara,
    Last week I was in my mum's 500 year old house in my native village & she decided to open a trunk where she used to put some treasures. She wanted to renovate the anti-moth balls. Well, she hardly needed to, because I took most everithing. It was shabby chic PARADISE!! We found my 1st pair of leather shoes from before I even walked. Her wedding nighty. A shoulder knitting jacket that was my granma's,.... I brought most things with me to restore some and then hang on a privileged place in my house.
    Really TREASURES FROM THE HEART. I yearn everything my mum has because it's hers, not for the monetary value. She cherishes those things & I love that she does. She's now 80 & her health very poor, but when she's with her "things" she rejuvenates.
    Thank you for sharing all your treasures with all of us.
