Show and Tell: Vintage style

I had some fun shopping our garage sale last weekend. (I'm pretty sure I got rid of more than I acquired, though!) :) I am using these items in decorating my house - mostly my family room. I wanted to share a few for Show and Tell (for more show and tell - check out Kelli's blog!)

First off this ironing board:

My mom bought this for me when I was little. I remember thinking it was so neat! It has a matching iron that became warm when plugged in. (I think I have it somewhere, and will probably be attaching it with magnets!) :) Somewhere along the line, Dad or Mom cut the wire - good idea. Anyway, I wired it where the legs would stay against the board and made a loop to hang it with. Aren't the owls cute? (For perspective, it's about 2 1/2 ft tall.)

This phone wasn't mine, but I thought it was so neat.

It hangs on the wall, which I haven't done yet. But I did get it cleaned up yesterday and it's looking great! It makes me wonder what type of conversations were had on it. There's not date, but there is a switch on the bottom that makes the bell ding.

Some of my readers have seen this, but I wanted to put it in my show and tell.

I think the design on this frame is so pretty, and I will be fixing it up... So check back in a while to see what I do with it! ;)

Thanks for stopping by my show and tell! Happy Friday!
