I like framing interesting and unusual things for my walls.
You might remember the pages I framed from the front of a vintage cookbook and the old recipe I framed that I found between the pages of the same book.
Or this made from some vintage sheet music, some vintage pieces of lace and some old buttons.
And then there was the old sugar sack I found and framed to display.
I think it makes a great way to display vintage and antique treasures all the while keeping them safe and preserved but it also makes for conversation pieces and more interesting artwork.
So you won’t be surprised when you see what I’m sharing today…..
Obviously this is not the original – that’s probably in a museum somewhere – but it’s a copy of a letter sent by someone to a family member while they where staying at a Sanatarium back in the 1800’s.
I framed it in a basic black shadow box to leave the focus on the letter.
Now excuse me while I go find some other unusual items to frame.

Until next time,
I love it!! Such a unique piece! I love finding unique items to frame too! I know I say it often, but I have to say it again, I adore your style!!!
You can say it as much as you like. I never get tired of hearing it. It means a lot.
I thought you may be interested in the fact that I live 20 minutes away from Battle Creek, Michigan where the Sanitarium is located, it was started by John Harvey Kellogg, of the cereal fame. The building still stands today, after the Sanitarium closed it was turned in to the Percy Jones Military hospital, my grandma was a nurse there. It is now the Dole-Hart-Inuae Federal Center. It’s a beautiful place.
Thanks so much for commenting and letting me know. I have never been there in person although I would love to visit. I have read up on the place extensively as well as the founders etc. So much interesting history.
