Vintage Thingy Thursday...My Mom has been framed!!!!!


Happy Vintage Thingy Thursday Ladies! Be sure to visit with the other girls showing up their Vintage treasures over at Colorado Ladys blogspot...click on the banner to take you there!
Most of you know I am a stay home FOR Mom, not to be confused with stay at home Mom!
Today I thought I would share with you a beautiful frame that my Mom gave me a few years ago for my birthday! I have always loved this frame for the patina and ornate work on it.


Justify Full
I have tried to get a close up of the nest near the base so you could see the detail. The "theme" of the frame is birds and roses and eggs,and because Spring is finally ...well..almost in the air here in the Midwest I thought to share it today! I can hardly wait for Spring!
I guess my Mom could be considered Vintage too...she will be 79 this year...shh don't tell her I told you but I believe she could be considered Antique...well Almost! The pearl earrings were also hers...not sure if she wore them on her wedding day as pictured here,but they are a vintage treasure too! I have thought about changing the frame to hold a mirror instead of a picture...but of course when I mentioned it she was not pleased,so for now I shall keep it the same.
And a little giggle to go with this story...my Dad would love to refer to this lovely piece as the day he "flew over the Cuckoo Nest? Hmmm...what do you suppose he meant? Cuckoo over her I assume!
