do you ever have one of those days when you feel like doing nothing? i had one of those today, well this morning anyway! cool and rainy days will do it to me every time! half the day was salvaged tho when the sun came out! lol! i remembered that i had these prints and thought i needed to do something with them but, what? i might put them in our dinning room but, for now i'm just moving them around until i'm sure. knowing me that might be awhile or maybe not at all! lol! i got them very reasonable, $2.00 a piece at one of the local galleries here in town! i have anothe one framed and in the family room! i love them, i just wish i knew what they said! i didn't retain my french classes very well at all....
i remembered also that i had this white frame and thought i should put it around my transfer ware plates in the dinning room. hmmmm....what do you think? i think it looks ok i guess. something different to look at for awhile. in case you haven't guessed, i love to change things around in the house all the time! never done decorating!! and last but, not least the copper boiler that has been sitting in the garage for many months is now cleaned up and in the dinning room too. for how long is any one's guess!!;)
have a nice evening!

I LOVE those plates in that frame... I hope I can think of something to put in my frames...they have a much smaller opening though. That boiler it so cool! The colors of it are fantastic. and what a bargain you got on those prints!

Vicki emailed me requesting a translation. The top print is difficult to decipher between the photo cropping off part of the picture & the flash of the camera but, from what I can read, it says "Pastilles... Toux Bronchites 1 f.50" This would translate to being to the effect "Cough drops; (sore) throat, bronchitis" and the price 1 franc 50 sous (the French equivalent to cents). The second one is easy to read & states: "French company of chocolates & of teas". Hope this helps!
