KELOWNA - TRAVEL LOG POST 3

Moving a bit north for the end of my week in the Okanagan.  Couldn't resist trying to capture the pristine perfectness of a newly in bloom Dogwood (BC's official flower!).  Truly lovely and such a short time to enjoy!


A bit of time snooping around some local antique spots ...some of the number of Victorian Cartes de Visite (smaller cabinet cards) I picked up and a vintage photo which I expect is from the '50s.  Anyone born in or around that decade will recognize the style.  Not sure how I feel about recognizing what could be my own photo as vintage, retro or collectible LOL


I was thrilled to find this piece.  A salesmans' calendar background sample from around the turn of the century..it is in nearly perfect shape.  You can't really tell but tree is heavy with German glass glitter which being over 100 years old has that rich dark patina we adore.  No idea about a project for this one.. got any ideas?
