I love this old print. It may strike you as being a bit strange that the same girl who loves those flower paintings can love something like this just as much, but I do. Here's some detail
I love the colours, the texture, everything!
What do you think they are? Bottles?
Then hiding behind it was
It's a piece of an old (the movie was released in 1940) movie poster! You can still see the signwriters pencil guide marks! I think it's very special even though it's only a sliver of the whole. Love the red letters, and the purple ones for that matter.
We also found...
This one is made of cotton instead of wool.
(I'm sending it to you Galit!)
And this
A breakfast tray cloth. I've got a bit of a thing for Tex-Mex things...anyone for tequila?
And (even though my husband strongly advised me NOT to buy this!!!)
I couldn't leave him behind? There must be hundreds of paintings of this old man floating around...he comes from one of those teach yourself oil painting books so popular in the 60's and 70's. I know because my mother-in-law has her very own version (much better than this one!)
The last treasure we found is alot prettier than the others...
Yes. It's another tablecloth.
And following on from that here's today's tea towel
What were you doing in 1975?
Great finds, loving the table cloth, very pretty. I also love the film poster - brill find! Scarlett x
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, gorgeous finds. I love the painting of the bottles. Less keen on the painting of the man, I have to say.
ReplyDeleteAs usual, your teatowel of the day never fails to delight me.
May I ask, do you use your tea towels or do you store them somewhere and gaze at them lovingly from time to time (which is something I'd probably do!)?
Have a great w/end.
