they were an unexpected find at an auction......and are a perfect addition to my mom's collection of old presidential prints...
the detailing in the frames is exquisite....i felt these gems deserved a special presentation, so I gathered up some supplies and began to create....
a burlap bag with Powell Jeans logo (not exactly the right look for a birthday gift bag!)
old sheet music
rhinestone pin
beautiful double faced satin ribbon
millinery flowers
old wooden game letters
and voila! the finished product....
wishing my mom a happy birthday tomorrow....
by the way....my mom asked for a new toilet seat for her birthday!!! do you think she'll be disappointed?
til next time....

I am so glad I take all day and into the night to look at everybodies blog listed. Some of the best ones are at the bottom.
Matha and George Washington in those beautiful frames are the perfect gift. Let someone else get her the toilet and she can decorate her bathroom around Martha and George.
I'm so glad I saw your post.

Polly, those prints are gorgeous, and the frames...perfect. She will love these! Tell her the toilet seat will be for Christmas.
Well I love the frames and pictures, so if Mom doesn't I'll send you my address!! See you next Wednesday!

What a thoughtful gift. I would be happy with just the bag even before I opened it. Thanks for sharing and I hope your Mom has a wonderful birthday.
Take care,
Kathleen
WHAT A WONDERFUL GIFT !!
I WISH YOUR MOM A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!
ENJOY THE DAY POLLY I HOPE YOU GET TO SPEND IT WITH YOUR MOM !!
Polly, somehow I think she will forget all about that toilet seat she asked for. The presentation alone would be gift enough for me. What a great daughter you are. (If she is upset over the toilet seat or lack of, and disowns you, I am up for adopting you)
Hugs,

That turned out fantastic!!
I'm sure your Mom will love it, and maybe someone else would get her a toilet seat.
(that's on my birthday list too.) =0)
Blessings,

Funny thing, that is the second person I know who asked for a toilet seat.:) You did a beautiful job of your mom's gift. You are a very thoughtful daughter.
