Memories

 
 
This is a very easy and quick way to display a vintage photo that you may have had stashed away in a box or drawer.
 
Remember the old and very well used cheese grater I got last week at the Estate Sale? 
 
Well, I took an old photo of my Grandmother (Nana) and her sister and I used bits and pieces of old lace and trim and hot glued around the edges.  In the bottom left corner, I put some little cut out flowers topped with some tiny silk flowers and an old rhinestone off of a necklace of my Nana's.
 
 
I then cut several strips of heavy corrugated cardboard and glued to the back of the photo and glued that to the old cheese grater so that it stood out a little. 
 
I think it made a pretty presentation, don't you?
 
 
Now, to another subject....
 
Remember the cute little doggie planter I showed you yesterday?  As I was carrying it to put up, I looked at the back and obviously, it was pigs instead of dogs, don't you think so too?
 
 
I'll try to pay more attention from now on!!
 
Enjoy!
 
Judy

  16. Judy, I love the planter with the three little pigs. I have three pug dogs with tails just like that. Last weekend my son bought me a pin with three little pig butts in gold tone. I think they look just like pug butts. I love it.

  20. Hi! I came over from Poppy View and I am going to sign up to receive your blog postings. Love the three little pigs - that is the kind of whimsical ceramic piece that I would be draw to collect. Charming use of the old cheese grater, too, as I like to display photographs in a new way.
