Ben and I celebrated 8 years of marriage on Tuesday. Eight years! That seems crazy. Several weeks ago, I was wandering through a local consignment shop and spotted an interesting black and white print of old barns and a butte in the background.
I flipped it over and it said it was a historic photo of the town Ben grew up in. How perfect! I bought it and saved it until Tuesday.
Adding meaningful art to our home has always been my goal. This sweet photo is the perfect piece above the bar area.
Though I gave this as an anniversary gift, an old photo would also make a thoughtful Father’s day gift. A google search has tons of options. Like this St. Paul scene:
Or Minneapolis with horse-drawn carriages.
Of course, don’t print a photo with copyright, but there are options. Or you could photograph a special place and turn it to black and white to look more reminiscent of times past.
Cool pic! And a lucky find!
Ironically, just last week I ordered by husband a black and white map print of his home city. Now if it would only arrive before Father’s Day!
Hey Liz!
Ha, that’s too funny. Great minds?! Hope it made it to you in time. 🙂
Thanks!
