When I found this vintage frame
my heart skipped a beat.
I was truly {swooning}
over the patina that was covering the wood.
I decided instead of another chalkboard
maybe we could use some of our scrap pieces
in our work shed.
{ broken shutter & reclaimed scraps }
Using the frame as a template
he attached the pieces to the underside of the frame
then hung it as large art work
directly to the wall.
Then I added elements
that I love using...
Love the rustic feel...
It fit perfectly over our vintage dresser
Here is the full length shot of the frame
after we first finished.
Have a beautiful week my lovelies!
I will be linking this post
to Kathleen's White Wednesday # 145
Much love to all of you
XOXO

Very cool! At first, I couldn't see what you had done. I thought I was seeing layers of items, not all of them gathered in one frame. Hope your week is wonderful. Tammy

I dont blame you kate for loving the frame, its my kind of aged and salvage I go after, its the kind of paint patina we all strive to repaint and just cant seam to get just right when we are painting new on old, its a beautiful old find.
I love the vignettes you show in each photo, its just all so beautifully euro-flea market perfect.
Thank you for your visit and the beautiful love you bring with you on each visit, you encourage the best!
Have a beautiful weekend beautiful lady.

Kate,
Thank you for the sweet comments and the lovely thoughts sent my way. It's been a long year, but now in 2012 I'm ready to move forward into my new life. I've learned a lot along the way, done some healing (not quite finished...but I'm getting there) and deepened my faith. How is Momma doing?
Blessings & hugs,
Karen
Kate your vignettes are always so lovely, fresh and inspiring! The Patina of that fab frame would have made me need to break out the smelling salts also! *winks*
Blessings from the Arizona Desert... Dawn... The Bohemian
