While living in Turkey, I used to suffer from garage sale envy when I heard about other people's great finds. (Second hand sales are not part of that culture) So it is with great pride today that I show you what I found the other day at a local garage sale-Pinkie and Blue Boy for ten dollars a piece. They are very large with beautiful gold frames and now adorn the dining room wall, making our home look much classier than the folks that live here actually are.
Very classy...indeed!
ReplyDeleteThey hung in my room in my childhood.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! What a bargain. Well done garage sale shopping.
ReplyDeleteI love classic art...great find! They look beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great find! You have a beautiful blog!
ReplyDeleteThese were on my sister's bedroom wall when we were kids. I always wished they were on mine! The were in pink velvet frames too - that uped the class ante heaps!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful find
ReplyDeleteMy grandparents had these hanging in their home...until they moved out of state...the frames look very similar...wonder if they found their way to Texas somehow!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great find! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE to go to yard sales. My mom and I look forward to it every year. I've found so many good deals. It's a ton of fun! Those prints are a great find!
ReplyDeleteLOVE THESE! My family and I love to go to yard sales! Its a wonderful hands on way to teach math!
ReplyDeleteI've heard that these prints were put out by a particular company (forgot the name; it's on the back of the pictures) that sold many household decorations and these were pretty popular back in the fifties. These are about 20 by 30 inches. We haven't studied Gainsborough and Lawrence yet, but the children recognized their work from their Kindergarten years when we played with Child sized Masterpieces.
