Old photographs are a great way to add history and warmth to your space. I was lucky to win two old, car photos from Jennifer's giveaway over at scissors.paper.glue. The vintage clip stand from blue bell bazaar holds the photos, and the vintage doily stretcher serves as a pin board for inspiring photos. Other photos on the pin board are of my grandparents and from my Diana camera. I attached paper clips and binder clips to the photos and then hung them with small pins to ensure the quality of the photos - no holes here! Plus the photos of my grandparents are re-prints, the originals are tucked away for safety. Next to the pin board is a vintage storage container for clips and rubber bands - also seen in this post.
Overall, a great medley of photos which can be updated and easily moved around. Thanks again to Jennifer for the great photos and cute postcard...also check out her etsy store!

Love the look of the old photos on the vintage doily stretcher! What a great design idea!
oh neat!!! every time i go to flea markets i'm always tempted to purchase old random photographs. there's a warmth to them that many new photos don't have, i think.
I love old photos! I think digi photos lack the soul of old film photographs. You've displayed them so beautifully. You've such style!
Congrats on your win. I'm still soooo intrigued by your Diana camera!
What attractove grandparents you have. I love WWII Navy pictures.
Very nice.
Oh I like the smell of old photographs too - so funny you bring that up!
i went to some antique stores on friday and saw so many great old photos-- there's really nothing like them! what a nice collection you have- and that 'hello' birdcage print is so so cute!
Love, love, love the doily stretcher used as a pin board!
I love, love old photos and the doily stretcher is a great display! I've unearthed some old family photo tintypes -- they are so fab, and I need to figure out a way to display them.
Congratulations on your win! Love this design style, very nice!
Do you think there will be a day when people treasure the photographs we are currently taking and consider them nostalgic. These look great!
lovely old photos! i'm a sucker for those types of things...I love the history they add to a space. i have some prints i'm blogging about soon, but kept putting it off. BUT, once again you've inspired me. have a wonderful day!
I love this vignette! That pin board is great too!
Oooh I love your collection of old photos as well as the way in which you've compiled them here. I'm a bit of a nut when it comes to old photos as well and you've given me lots of ideas.
Lovely post--thanks for the inspiration.
Thanks for the wonderful ideas!
