Decorative Ornaments
The other day I was researching for a project and came across these amazing, exquisite prints of some old decorative pieces.
So simple, but they took my breath away. More at the original site, Public Domain Review

I love all things vintage especially jewelry and vintage purses.
My love affair began when I stepped into a vintage store in a trendy artsy area and the owner and I were talking about vintage jewelry and how perfection is in the imperfection. His wife has an engagement ring that is very old and missing more than a few stones, it was purchased that way, he has offered to have the missing stones replaced but her response was 'but then there would be no story to tell'. So, to this day her engagement ring is missing stones and she would have it no other way. He also shared that for her engagement present he purchased her a grand collection of vintage purses from an estate sale. She has them proudly displayed in an antique china cabinet. I can only imagine how old and beautiful they are. |

What a beautiful, sweet story. I absolutely agree with the fact that the imperfections make aged pieces perfect and beautiful. I also really love love the engagement ring ... I always wanted at least a vintage style one, but this is even better. <3
Thank you so much for sharing! Quote:

What a great idea. You might try checking out the book called The Letter by Kathryn Hughes. It has a part of the story like that where the main character finds something important from the 30s in the pocket of a vintage suit.

It was love at first sight.....
I'm a big fan of up-cycling furniture. The old pieces are more interesting and better made than most of the modern day pieces. (IMHO) This was painted in a chalk paint by Frenchic, the color is Plum Pudding. YUM. |
