Very Inspired By This!
And you thought it was going to be a decorated pumpkin! Nope.
I came across this in the latest issue (Nov) of Country Living and I swear I must have stared at this image 50 times! The home owner, Sean Scherer, a fabulous antiques dealer in NY, affixed a series of vintage Pompeii postcards (45 of them!) with bookbinder’s glue on a large canvas. In my opinion, it works so well because 1) it is a series and 2) the cards are within the same color scheme.
It is inspired me so much that I spent literally hours in cyber world trying to find a large lot of vintage cards with a similar feel. No luck. BUT my search led me to something new and different that works even better for me.
As of this weekend I have started a new collection, folks!
Something that I have never seen before! I will not tell you until a few of my bids have gone through — so you guys won’t snap them up before me! I will show you in a few days. Very excited over here!
Happy new week & Happy Halloween!
