Vintage windows always get my attention and I love using them in our decor as well as doing something special with them to pass them on for sale.
This double paned oldie is now a useful organizer/memo board and is waiting for a new home.
It looks like chalkboard, but just a little neater. I just painted the back black and attached a white, paint marker to write lists, notes and to-do's.
Eight bronze hooks were added for hanging all sorts of things.
I had a really hard time parting with it!
That's because I really love my Italian, linen, tea towel that I framed a few years ago.....I don't think that I'm ready to part with it or should I?
I retired some of the dishes to the storage cabinet to make room to display more of my white ironstone in our corner cupboard.
Many of the pieces are Goodwill finds.
This was a real oldie that I just couldn't pass up for 2.99
And this is my vintage, mid 1800's, platter that I scapped up from there, too. I love it stains, crazing and all!
It's signed Thomas Hughes Burslem.
I added a few roosters here and there.
This was another GW steal for just 2.99
It's an old toleware, hand painted, cup.

Beatrice and Mathew were my grandparents and these were their vintage egg cups.

Your message board turned out great, Janet. I can see that would come in handy in a small area, especially with the hooks. Love your framed tea towel. If you still love it, I say you've got to keep it!
The chalkboard window is fabulous!! I love it and would have a hard time parting with that. You have a great collection of ironstone pieces.

Love that message board.
I am looking for a vintage window for my garden.
What a great idea your faux chalkboard is - I can't wait to try one! Less mess! I'll be featuring this at the History & Home party next week, so be sure to come back Tuesday morning to have a look. Thanks for partying with us ~ Dawn @ We Call It Junkin.com
Your chalkboard window is wonderful! I enjoyed the tour through all your lovely things. :-)
I hope you have a blessed Memorial weekend!
