Salvage Yard Shopping

Tom's Christmas gift from me was an overnight date into Seattle. To start out we went Salvage Yard Shopping (yes, very romantic!!!). I have been wanting to do this for awhile, as I had a photo framing project in mind that needed old window frames. We had no idea what we are walking into but WOW what a treasure land it was. I wish I had brought my camera to show all the amazing finds. Tom and I could have spent hours looking at all the cool things but I focused in on the windows and found some great ones. Here is the one that will work for my photo project.

I will be cleaning it up and blowing up a photo to mat and place in the large square in the middle.

Then we also found two of these leaded pane windows.

They won't work for framing a photo but they just seemed too amazing to pass up. I am considering adding hooks to the bottom and hanging them in our entry way as a coat hanger. Or just displaying them somewhere on a wall.

My goal is to have them cleaned and hung in 2 weeks so I hope to have an after photo to share soon.

And just so you don't think we are totally crazy, we DID have a nice romantic dinner at The Wild Ginger, a wonderful evening at the Andra Hotel and fabulous room service for breakfast, finished off with shopping at Pike's Market!!!!
