    A Little Vintage

    05/17/2011 · by Tricia

    Plum blossoms and vintage clothespins in a white bowl.
    Hello everyone!  Remember those pretty plum blossoms I posted photos of yesterday?  Well, I was loving them so much that I thought I would use them in a few more photos for today.  I hope you don’t mind, but I figure that they’ll be gone before I know it and why not use what ya got.  Right?!
     
    Anyway, I decided to pair them with some nice vintage elements that I have here in my home.  In my book, flowers plus vintage is just about pure perfection when it comes to decorating.
     
    I got some old clothespins from my mom a few days ago and thought I’d display them in one of the cafe au lait bowls that I have, along with the flowers.  I love, love, love this look.  I was thinking of my Grandma as I was doing this and how she would’ve thought it was funny to put out a bowl of clothespins.
     
    Best wishes for a wonderful day!
     
    Tricia ♥

      Hey Tricia! I know that I always say it…but your photo's are so beautiful! I need to buy a new camera and then spend at least a week with you…because you totally inspire me! Is it the Canon Rebel that you have? Thanks Tricia! ~Deb~

      We're in TOTAL agreement. The inkwell makes an awesome vase. I love it! The shape is just right – in fact, I wouldn't even have guessed that it was an inkwell at all – but knowing that it is just adds to the whole cool factor!!!
