{Thrift Shop Temptations} The Paintings

Just because I have a serious lack of wall space doesn't meant that I can't drool over the paintings and prints. 


There are lots of them that I'd like to bring home, but the reality is that I already have plenty of framed pieces and not a lot of big stretches of wall to hang them on. And there will always be more of them for me to fall in love with.


This one is going to haunt me. I love the idea of girls on a couch huddling around a book...and the potted plants on the windowsill behind them... But what are they looking at that's got those expressions on their faces? 


This centerpiece is filled with tons of possibilities but whoever priced it has obviously been on Pinterest and knows what they are...and knows that the rest of us know...


I've been on the lookout for vintage needlework books and found a few. This one left me speechless. I have no doubt that someone is going to want it, but that someone sure isn't me!

The print of the three girls is The Fairy Tale by Walter Firle. Wonder if they're reading Little Red Riding Hood.

I like the first one also.

My Aunt had the three girls on her wall - she had three girls. I used to think they looked like the girls in the painting, but never once wondered what they were looking at! What a fun thing to ponder!
