Double Paper Hearts on Daguerreotype Case mid_century_modern embossed copper frame

embossed copper frame

like a hay field almost ready to harvest

as if it was always waiting for this story to be told

This quilt has been laundered

which is how I displayed it for years

Double Paper Hearts on Daguerreotype Case mid_century_modern embossed copper frameSome time ago, I bought several antique frames and daguerreotype cases. The cases had come apart, so I decided they'd make beautiful frames for love tokens. Double paper hearts are nestled on old, embossed, gold velvet. The hearts are made from aged, stained, watercolored paper. Sometimes I print copies of 18th and 19th century letters on the papers that I age. Such is the case with this love token. Lean this lovely valentine on a shelf or display it
