Vintage dining room wallpaper panels from the 1960s. They were removed from the wall and custom framed as a way to honor and remember a very special grandmother. The family celebrations that took place in her dining room over the decades in front of this wallpaper will now continue in the granddaughter's home, with the next generation making new memories with this scene in the background.

For those who saw my post yesterday, this is the rest of the story...
A couple of weeks ago a long time client came in with three panels of a vintage wallpaper, from the 1960s, wondering if they could be framed? I told her I could do it and knowing there had to be a story there I asked her what the significance of them was. She told me about the childhood birthdays spent at her grandmother's house, how special they were, and how happy those memories are. She went on to tell me that her birthday celebrations were always in her grandmother's dining room, she has photos of her birthdays in that dining room, along with photos of her father's birthdays in the same dining room. Her grandmother recently passed, and when the family gathered to choose things to remember her by the only thing my client asked for was the dining room wallpaper, these three panels, that were in the background of the photos of two generation's birthday celebrations. She was able to remove them from, the wall, I've framed them, and now they will hang in her dining room where her daughter's birthday celebrations are, there they will honor her grandmother and become part of the happy memories of a new generation.
Edit...check out the comments to see them hanging in their new home!

In case you were wondering, the stained glass spinners by Kristi of Cow Dog Designs are just as pretty at night!
Please ignore the roadwork in the background (that's just life in Kernersville most days), and instead enjoy these spinners from Cow Dog Designs! These are a beautiful addition anywhere a breeze can set them in motion. A few of these are already spoken for, but the blue one top left and the red one top right are still available, and Kristi is hard at work on new ones.

***EDIT***
These are on hooks that allow them to spin, but the hooks are NOT motorized. These need to be where a breeze (or fan) can set them in motion. They are still a lovely piece of decorative art even when they are not in motion.
