Found Words: Vintage Is The New Black

Vintage Is The New Black

Found this on pinterest and thought I'd share it. Vintage items are really popular right now, as it's nice to recycle goods and hold onto them for nostalgic and aesthetic qualities.  Pieces back then were made to last and had lots of charm. They are becoming extinct, as we move towards more mass produced goods with not much character or history.

Antique Hand Colored Photo in Bubble Glass Frame Circa 1930's

Found via MaryBethHale Etsy Shop http://www.etsy.com/shop/marybethhale 

I just love these old bubble glass frames. They are so unique! From childhood I remember admiring this type of frame and hand colored portraits in homes of my great aunts and uncles. I have one in my home that is from one of my family members from the 1940's.
