Chippy shabby window photo display

Hello, friends! Here is another photo display from my mother in law's 80th birthday.  I used my shabby old window to display wedding pictures of Jean and Frank. They have been married 55 years this year.  I hung each photo with a torn piece of vintage book page as a matte.

And where did that rusty letter "M" end up?  It stands proudly on top of this display. I like the contrast.
Feel free to double click and enlarge the picture. Happy White Wednesday to all!  I'll share my redo of my PB wall cubby with you next.  I had some fun using that to display pics for the party too!  Hope you are having a great week.  xoxo  I'm linking to the following parties! Come join the fun!

  10. What a lovely idea.
    I have also a window ,it almost is the same as yours, but with 4 windows (i hope i write it right).It belonged to the farm of my sister and i have it since years.
    Every time i change it and now i have a new idea ....yours.
    I donot have old pictures of my parents, i lost them when our house got on fire.
    Maybe my sister has some.
    Otherwise i can take some old pictures from the internet.
    Love,
    Agnes

  34. Love the idea. I too have an old window and have been looking for ideas. Love the fact that you can change out the photos! I am thinking of doing black and white photos of my kids. They are ever changing as preteens so it will be nice to change them out. I am curious as to where you found your clips. I live in a small town in the Panhandle of Nebraska and resources are very limited unless you are looking for tumbleweeds! Any help would be appreciated. Thanks for sharing.

  37. I found these at Anything Goes on Etsy some time ago. I don't think she has any now. Search for alligator clips on Etsy. These are unique since they are on hooks and the head spins 360 degrees. Good luck!
