Personal...Vintage Photos...

As a photographer I really enjoy looking at photos, and especially old ones.  The poise, and classic feel of the photos always capture my imagination.  I also love looking at vintage magazines, newspapers, and most vintage paper goods.  The advertisements in the magazines take you back to a different time, it is like a little slice of history... a snapshot.


But first a few things around my house, love to start my day with coffee!  I think about cutting it out, but it is so good. :)

A cute little vintage camera we have that my daughter likes to play with, I love the way a classic Polaroid camera looks!

I acquired these particular photos at an auction, they belonged to someone local.  My husband and I spent some time looking at them one Saturday night, and were intrigued by them.  They are a collection of high school photographs from the 50s.  I love what people wrote on the back of some of them and a story starts to emerge about who collected all these photos and the people in them

We believe this to be Bob!  The guy with the Hot 49' Ford...

 

 These are some shots of a few magazines I have been collecting and reading through.  If you ever get a chance to browse through old magazines it is well worth your time.  Very interesting.

Happy Sunday!

This mirror is my new favorite find, it is heavy and the details are gorgeous!  It is for sale :)  I like to see it in color as well as black and white, so I thought I would share both photos.

"Real Life"   Thank you so much for sending me these photos!  If you have any you want to send me don't hesitate, I love showing them here on the blog.  This is a dresser we did for a client awhile back.  Frank/Herb custom painted it for her, and I think it looks lovely in her home!  Come look around and bring us your ideas, we are very creative ;)  Happy Decorating

Fresh Picked...

We have a few items to add to the blog, and will be adding some pretty fantastic pieces to the list tomorrow as well.  We want to thank all of you that follow our blog, and give us feedback we are very grateful!!!

"Real Life" I wanted to take a minute to share what people are doing with their finds from Herb's salvage!  It is wonderful to see the item you bought at our little store in your cozy homes!  This is a white bookshelf that we had, and I think it looks fabulous piled up with Little Golden Books, puzzles, and favorite toys! Thanks guys

You may remember this gorgeous Library table we had in our store awhile back.  This couple cut the legs down to make a spectacular coffee table!  I like how they kept the original number that was painted on the corner! Keep the photos coming.  You can email them to frankrobin1952@gmail.com  or gonk@mchsi.com, and I will post them in the "Real Life" section!!
