Why not make 3 cameo plates with these and hang in a trio by ribbons on a wall in either your library, den or dressing room? I see these ideas in Victoria magazine a lot, and I think these three lovely prints decoupaged onto pale bisque oval "plates" which have perforated rims - not sure where you find those but I've seen pix - hung with satin ribbons as a tryptich? Just a thought.
Oh Lord! Sally - now I know that we have to be related! I own every Victoria magazine except for the 1st one...and the only reason I do not own it, is because the only time I have seen it on E-bay ..the price has been something like $60.00!
As for the other part... umm I don't have a library...or a dressing room ..and the den - well I have a small one of those, but have used up every available inch of wall space already! ha ha...
I have boxes of V but also not the first issue for the simple reason I hadn't discovered it in time. I am however really disappointed that toward the end of the first round of Victoria it had launched itself into the stratosphere on expensive featured items. I mean, come on, there was one scarf (just one) that was $4,500...that buys a full year of really nice hay so wasn't even tempted. I do think the current round of Victoria is of the same editorial mind which is the greater the cost of featured items - whether "favorite things" or fashions or furnishings - the better. I disagree and think that with some effort that beautiful things/trips/life are really truly out there at less than a queen's ransome in cost. Beauty and good design should not be reserved as in olden times for only the very wealthy!

ReplyDeleteI like the idea of the cameo plates!
ReplyDeleteThe first thing I thought of was a Victorian style hatbox.
