I love finding original vintage artwork at estate sales and flea markets. I recently bought several pieces for my shop and home. Sometimes, when I find a great piece I may hang them in our home first and if I feel they fit in too well then they are unlikely to make it to our shop. Like some of these pieces below. Which would you keep??
Aside from traditional artwork, I love to arrange favorite vintage finds on the wall as ART! I have even been known to hang old family photos (not related to me) on the wall in their original frames. The great thing about art is that it can be created or found.
Try hanging unexpected and untraditional finds on a wall just waiting for some art!!

Love the Ice Cream sign . . . but I have always been a sucker for signs! Can't wait to be a vendor again at the Vintage Barn! Brenda

All are great finds but my favorite is the little girl sitting on the black bench that looks so much like one we have up in Angel's Attic. And the ice cream sign is so cute with that shabby pink paint! I'm not sure my family "gets" why I have an antique derrigotype of people I don't know on my mantle but I'm happy to adopt them. Fun to read your blog!
