Linking to White Wenesday Faded Charm party, My Romantic Home
Only took me 25 minutes of inspiration, some phantom hooks from WalMart, 2 old window frames, a mantel found at a flea market, my precious found objects and a tinsy bit of junk.
It was a blank space, I first secure the mantel with a hooks used to hang frames, these hooks don't need a hammer and leave a tiny hole when removed.
I have to use pretty much hooks, bubble gum and banana peels on the walls- since I cannot' drill much on military housing.
The "table" base is an old iron sewing machine, -the steps are only one of the tools of the trade
.Details on the mantel...
small chest home is homefor more old post cards..flower frogs from a flower shop in Hollywood California are used to hold photos.
Some people call them santos, votos, but they are really called ex votos, these in smaller versions are pin to Saints clothes when miracles are grantted as a sign of the favors received and to thank the Saint. I sell this for $9 plus shipping..
Oh my gosh... beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. I love old windows and I think the whole arrangement looks perfect.

i just loved the windows displayed atop the mantel.
ReplyDeleteMy mother just redid the windows in her 1930's home and threw out every old shabby window, HOW I WISHED I LIVED CLOSER to her so I could have saved those old windows to display in a manner like yours.
