50′s Puerto Rican Souvenir to Wall Art
Monday, March 1st, 2010A while ago when I was searching the Internet for an image for the post I wrote about the 1950s and 60s in Puerto Rico and the Mad Men style of advertising, I found this really cool old 50′s Puerto Rican Souvenir handkerchief. I could just imagine it belonging to some sophisticated lady back in those days. So I sent the link to Britton and he just blew me off. So I forgot about it. Then at Christmastime, I found this little envelope in the mail. We don’t really exchange gifts too much, so I just thought it was a letter or bill, and so I opened it in front of Britton. It was the hanky! Britton said he had to act like he didn’t care, so I wouldn’t know that he was getting it for me. It made me feel so happy. How something so small could mean so much…
Anyway, I wanted to get it framed so we would have it as wall art. It took us forever to find a frame that would fit it, but finally we found a square frame for it. Last night we put it together. I think it turned out really well and I am excited to hang it in our house in Puerto Rico (when we have one that is)
