Altered Antique Window

 
 Hello friends! These fabulous antique windows belong to my friend Jodi.  I snapped this picture when we were over for the Super Bowl  The large window actually came from family and the smaller one was purchased locally.  I think Jodi did a great job altering the large window with some of her vintage finds.
Double click to see a larger photo.  She hung the old rusty horseshoe from ribbon and added a flower.  The adorable pic of her daughter with their two dogs is on a vintage hanger.  The distressed paper frame is from a dictionary.  There is a large burlap bow with flower also in the center panes.  My favorites are on the bottom. There is a large piece of lace with a mini muffin tin filled with vintage earrings and an altered skeleton key.  I'm so glad I snapped a quick picture of this lovely piece she created. We are headed to Renningers Antique Extravaganza next weekend together to hunt for more vintage finds with some of our other girlfriends. I can't wait.  I hope you are having a great week! Hugs.  Linking this post to White Wednesday and Wow us Wednesday. Follow the buttons below -

    Vicki,
    I have a hard time passing up a old window or door! Love the horseshoe, might have to copy that! I'm so jealous that you get to go to Renningers! I read about it years ago and have always wanted to go! Maybe some day! Can't wait to see what you come home with!

    Beautiful! So rustic and yet elegant at the same time. And you can just tell that it is personal to the owner with those little extra touches of history here and there. Thanks for sharing this with us Vicki!

    Wow! What a creative way to dress up a window!! Looks very vintage. Was the glass there? I couldn't tell..I am thinking it wasn't. Great job.

    Wow! Your friend Jodi has an exceptional eye for design. Putting together a wall decor using random vintage items can be difficult, but the combination of textures is perfect. That vintage window totally rocks!
