Just a quick post tonight to participate in tomorrow's Vintage Black Friday...
Since everyone enjoyed the cream silk Victorian hat...I thought that perhaps you would enjoy seeing a few of my vintage black straw hats...
The child's hat with the flowers and velvet ribbon is particularly charming...
This random picture is a closeup of a bowl full of vintage letters from a flea market this fall.
And a closeup of an old iron mat that Rob and I bought while traveling about in Pennsylvania a few years ago. It hangs on the bedroom wall at the lake house and I use it as a magnetic/inspiration board. I love the hearts.
To see other participants in Vintage Black Friday visit Jill at Gypsy Brocante.
I am excited to be going to Wilton, CT on Saturday to see Evi who will be participating in the Fine American Craftsman Show sponsored by the Wilton Historical Society. I am hoping to be able to take some pictures of her beautiful booth and amazing creations as well as the work of some of the other wonderful artists.
All I can say about this week at work is thank goodness it's almost Friday!

I love the mat and the hats... How awesome
What a cute collection of hats. I have a few I could add to it :-)
I'm diggin' the heart mat! Those vintage letters caught my eye as well.
Love your blacks!! They are all just great!!

WHAT A LOVELY heart matt. too pretty to wipe your feet on. Sea Witch
I love that mat! How come I would never think of hanging something like that on the wall ~ it's perfect.
Gorgeous, I can't decide if I love the black or the white, your photography skills make me want everything. I love your work, I have no idea how to use my camera except point and shoot.
I am inspired by yours though! I love the vintage letters!
Hugs,

I just love that you used an iron mat on your wall! Too cool.

Dearest Laura, I LOVE your magnetic/inspiration board full of hearts! I've never seen such a beautiful kind of "pin-board / reminder"! And your hats are sooo good-looking! Do you wear them (of course you will not wear the child's hat, but may be the others...) or are they just decoration?
Have a wonderful & relaxing & inspiring weekend, HUGS, Traude
Your hats are wonderful but oooooohhhhhh the letters. They speak words to my heart! Have a wonderful weekend.
Waw Laura! How many vintage hats have you got!?!? They're so beautiful!!! Beautiful iron mat and very nice letters! I'm sure you'll have a special time with Evi! I can't wait to see your photos!
Enjoy a great week end my friend!
Big hugs!

Have a wonderful time with Evi, I can't wait to see the pics!!
These are wonderful - I especially love the shape of the hat with the pink flowers (and, of course, the pink flowers!)
I was just visiting Julie over at Ruby Tuesday, and wanted to say "Congratualtions!" to you for winning one of Cathy Penton's charms. Talk about a lucky Friday the 13th!!!
Have a great weekend, Laura!

Love the letters! The fun one could have with those, could keep you out of mischief for hours on end.
That iron mat is great! What a wonderful find! Perfect for an inspiration board!
Hugs,
Marsha
Love it all, but those letters; aahhhh those letters could just be the beginning of hours of fun! Your black hat with the pink roses reminded me of the one I showed. I love the "shape" of yours. Have a wonderful weekend, Laura!

Puuurrrfect - as usual! Jennifer
LAURA MY DEAR, I AM LIVING VICARIOUSLY THROUGH YOU FOR MY LOVE OF CT EVEN THOUGH I'M FROM OHIO, I GO THERE SO OFTEN, I MISS IT TERRIBLY & LOVE ET & WILTON. IS THAT SHOP STILL THERE ACROSS FROM THE HIGH SCHOOL I USE TO SELL THERE, & HAVE YOU BEEN TO CANNONS CROSSING NEAR THERE & THE SILO OWNED BY SKITCH HENSDERSON, I COULD GO ON..... :) GIO
As black is my favourite colour, Laura, I love all of it. The little girls bonnet is so cute. Very 'Little House on the Prairie'.The letters in the bowl are a triumph, but, like everyone else,it's the black iron mat that is the star of the show.... I really want one !!!! XXXX
I love the hats, and I especially love the iron mat. Happy VBF!
Oh, I am so loving that black iron heart mat ... enjoy your fun filled weekend!
