Vintage Thingie Thursday Sharing Some Vintage Bling


Have not been around for Vintage Thingie Thursday for a bit.. work getting in the way and we have decided to leave HOT Texas for COLD Minnesota which is really home to us. We leave in about 6 weeks so I have been busy working, packing and trying to sell some of my books ( we have a part time book business on eBay) . Anything I can sell fast we do not have to move or get rid of.

Back to Vintage Thingie Thursday. Here is a cute little picture I put together. Have not been into crafts for some time and thought I would give it a little try again.

Everything used is vintage in this piece. The frame belonged to my grandparents and there was an old picture in it once. I replaced the old picture with a vintage ad for McLaughlin's Coffee and then some vintage jewelry pieces was glued to the frame.

Just about done... and will be putting in a sale some day..

Hope that you all have a great Vintage Thingie Thursday and visit others at http://coloradolady.blogspot.com/2010/06/vintage-thingie-thursday-vintage.html


Thanks for stopping by.. Grace

  7. Hi Grace,

    I am with you on the heat thing. I live in central NJ, and it has been hot and humid here for the past several days. I would take the cold over the heat any day. Love how your vintage bling frame turned out. How cool that you have the old frame from your grandparents. Lots of luck on your move!
