Don't you think so? Is it because I'm getting older and love older things better?? I found something wonderful on ebay a while back and had to get it ~ it is a herbarium on a CD!!
You know, specimens of plants, gathered, documented and preserved for history. Well, the AMAZING fact is that the dates on this particular book are from 1576 to 1600!!!!! Can you believe that?
We have an old window frame hanging over our fireplace and I think I want to remove the prints that are in the panes and pick out some of my favorite pages from the herbarium, have them printed on beautiful cream card stock and place them inside the window panes instead. I love the earthy feel of these prints......
I'll paint the frame dark khaki or a pretty dark brown.....
Look HERE for some gorgeous inspiration ~

When I was a kid I could not stand the way my mother decorated in vintage style! I despised all that "old stuff". Now as an adult woman I just can't get enough of it so I guess tastes really do change! I love the vintage photos of plants and flowers you posted and love what you did with them. Thanks for sharing. :)
Those plant images are just incredible, Dawn. I go absolutely nuts over stuff like that. I love Patina Green, they've long been a favorite of mine. You have good taste, my friend!
Glad you're feeling better. :-)

What a great find! The window frame will look beautiful. Have a great day.
Dawn, Thank you for sharing the Pewter+Sage blog. It is an inspirational post, I have all kinds of ideas floating in my head at the moment.
As for changing tastes, I'm always driving my husband crazy because he can't keep up with my ever changing interests :) I'm sure you will keep us updated on your latest project, it sounds lovely.

OMG!!!!!!!You find the best things. I am crazy for old botanicals. Those are beautiful. You displayed them perfectly too. Lisa
I love your new backsplash! Brad did a wonderful job. What a difference it makes! Also, your idea of painting & changing out the prints in your frame will make a huge difference! Hope you are having a wonderful week. Hugs~Charlene

Hi there!
Thank you for posting about my blog give away. I so appreciate it. I have been a follower of your work from the beginning of my discovering blogs!
DAWN,ANOTHER CLEVER IDEA. I LOVE THAT SORT OF THING.
THANK FOR TAKING THE TIME TO HELP ME FIND TALLOW BERRRIES. THAT IS SO NICE IF YOU. I WILL GOOGLE TO SEE WHAT'S OUT THERE AND WILL LET YOU KNOW IF THERE IS SOMETHING AFFORDABLE.
THANKS AGAIN, JUDY
Ooh I love the book with the prints in it. What a find. Simply wonderful. I think we all change with age hopefully for the better, I am a fine wine as I think you are. I think it would be lovely to change out and repaint the old window. It is green at its best.
Hi Dawn: Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving such a sweet comment. I appreciate each and every kind word. I love your blog and get such inspiration from it. I hope you are over your "bug" and feeling better. Wishing you a wonderful week and a Happy Thanksgiving.
