Fantastic Find of the Famous Five

A little while ago I purchased several boxes of old books.  I procastinated over the task of fighting my way through the dust and loose pages.  But to my great suprise, I stumbled upon four first edition Enid Blyton books. 

Flicking through them took me back to my days spent enjoying the Secret Seven. I know that many have fond memories of Enid Blyton.

While I am told these are not rare edition I think they make a great addition to someone's collection.  I have placed them on ebay.
     

    

Romance - Alive and Well

Just the frame for St Valentine's Day.  "Longing for You" written on the bottom of the antique postcard leaves you in no doubt. 

I have enhanced the romantic theme by adding some art nouveau style vintage jewellery pieces and the butterflies and pearls are the finishing touches.

Postcards make the difference

I have been busy of late creating some special one off photo and picture frames using antique and vintage postcards and victorian scrapbook pieces.  I am pleased that there is not another frame quite like the ones I create. This one displays a pair of romantic postcards showing a courting couple.  Very sweet and the scrapbook pieces are the highlights. There are also vintage jewellery pieces on the frame itself. I think it is a great way to give a second or perhaps third life to these wonderful images and pieces.
