If Your Walls Could Talk......

If your walls could talk, what would they say??  Boring?? Tired??  In case you don’t know, spring is just around the corner.  Maybe it is time for a fresh makeover!  Just changing a few things on your walls can make a world of difference in the appearance of a room.  Pick a theme or color scheme and make a bold statement!  Check out the wall art, prints and just plain neat decorative items at South End Antique Mall.  Create a "family" with a grouping of vintage portraits or keep it simple with great trade signs or game boards.  Our staff are great at helping you create a grouping! Just give them your theme or colors and they will point you in the right direction or help you make some selections! 

Create a "family" grouping with terrific
vintage portraits and prints.  The old
frames on these pictures are special!

       

Vintage game boards make great wall decorations with tons of interest!

Historical photo's, especially military, are special finds for some collectors.

Old posters that have been framed are full of terrific graphics!  Even just a
splash of color, as in the girls orange skirt, will add interest to a dull wall.

Not sure what you want to do?? A grouping of vintage frames adds a lot of interest!

Sentimental Sweet Tidings Ahead!!

Valentine’s Day has been celebrated as a romantic holiday since 1382

when Geoffrey Chaucer wrote a poem about St. Valentine.  Valentine’s gifts and cards really took off under the reign of Queen Victoria (who was apparently very romantic) in the mid 1800’s.  The English spent billions each year on cards, candy and gifts.  There is something to be said about taking the time to personally write a note to a special person instead of an e-mail!  In our age of “speed"  a lot of the personal touch in communication has been lost.  These little vintage gems are not just for giving as sentimental gifts.  They can be framed and displayed throughout the year.  Look for those that have historical significance or recognizable signatures if you are a collector!  In the meantime, enjoy the wonderful artwork, mechanics and sentimental values of these little treasures!  Come check out the variety of vintage valentines we have ready for you at South End Antique Mall!

Consider using vintage boxes for your favorite chocolate!
