Cherished Family Keepsakes!
Greetings Friends! Are you enjoying your weekend? I have been basking in the gorgeous weather here. First, we received some much needed rain and now some glorious fall temperatures...finally! Recently my mother gave me several treasured keepsakes; among them her high school typewriter and some family photos from my childhood. Feeling sentimental as the holidays approach, I was looking for a unique way to display both-maybe you can relate. Today I am sharing my solution.
I found this rustic galvanized box at Hobby Lobby 50% off. The divided spaces instantly appealed to me for my photos.
The family sign I placed at the very top was also a 50% HL find. I knew the colors would be perfect and it says, "Family is one of life's greatest blessings." Don't you love that? I had all of these bright colored frames on hand--the only one I painted was the largest one with me and my dad in the bottom center. They were originally from Michaels and Target but I found them and the mini chalkboards at yard sales. I attached magnets to the backs to keep them in place and added a tiny bit of white detail by dry brushing the ornate edges. The baby shoes belonged to Youngest Daughter and fit perfectly in the tall narrow spaces.
