Well if it’s vintage or antique and I have it in my home I probably inherited it from my MIL Verna. Verna went to be with the Lord in 1997 and had lived with us from 1988. I’ve always enjoyed these Silhouette art pieces from her. The letter writing and posting ones are dear to me because the art of letter writing is something that I’ve enjoyed keeping alive over the years. Recently I’ve gone the way of most and stopped the regular practice of letter writing. I still write a letter occasionally and always at Christmas.

Photobucket is holding my photos hostage from 2007-2015 and replacing them with an ugly black and grey squares demanding money to release them, so frustrating.

So cute, the art of letter writing is definitely alost one, it’s nice to know you’re still doing it š
neat pictures – if that’s what they are???
Oh how sweet they all are…especially the little crinoline lady in the bottom (right) frame….she’s def my fav š
I like the man feeding the rabbit, but they are all wonderful!
These are wonderful! I really enjoy silhouettes… even my dog is named Silhouette! Scherenschnitte is on my never-ending list of crafts to learn.
Hi Ellen B.,
Beautiful Silhouettes! Your MIL’s house must have been such a welcoming place to be and it looks like she passed it on to you.
Oh! I have an award on my blog for you, but you don’t have to abide by the rules.
See you tomorrow for the ABC’s.

Do those ever bring back memories! My grandmother had some of those too. I wish we still had them.
Oh, those are really nice. I remember someone in my family having some like that, but I can remember who it was. They are really nice.
I do like these. Letter writing is gone, I’m afraid, but I hope that thank you notes are still “in.”
Lovely silhouettes-I especially like the silhouette on the “wall “of the silhouette.
My favourite is the lovely lady reading a book, but I feel letter writing is as important as reading!
Those are absolutely gorgeous. Do you know where/when they came from?
Ha! Ellen, I thought about Vintage Thursday this morning and was wondering to myself what vintage treasures you would post today. I am NOT disappointed at all – I LOVE LOVE LOVE silhouettes even though I don’t have any. Those letter-writing silhouettes are some of the prettiest I have ever seen!!!
These are lovely, feminine and classic!
These are lovely! The woman walking to the mailbox, especially pretty!
Lovely!
The lady’s dress in the silhouettes is so dainty and elegant!
