While browsing through your favorite antique shop did you ever come across a display that you felt had a wonderful old story just waiting to be imagined...
It draws you in to take a closer look...
At the creative way it is displayed...
Your heart skips a beat or two when you see all the lovely details...
Then your mind starts to wander and you are caught up in your own thoughts...
You start putting pieces of the story together in your mind. You might wonder which dress she chose...
Did she have to wear this underneath...
Perhaps this beautiful old trunk held her trousseau...
Will they live happily ever after...
Mary Ellen and I had lots of fun putting this display together in her booth ~ thanks for letting me help Mary Ellen!
The Wrentham Country Store is having a sale this weekend ~ if you live near by I hope you get a chance to stop in and let your mind wander too. Now go wander over to Faded Charm where Kathleen is hosting another wonderful
White Wednesday! Thank you for visiting!!

Beautiful wedding display! I do look at things at antique stores and wonder about the story behind them. If I buy an old photo with names on the back I have been known to go to ancestry.com and see if I can uncover anything about the people in the picture. Call me crazy but I love uncovering stories about the people in the old photos and if I can find a family member who wants the picture it's even better.
You put a wonderful display together.

I may wonder a little too much;) But that is what keeps us all coming back ~ the story of each tattered or rusty treasure. Beautiful vignettes and yes I will wonder as I wander among each WW post.
I ALWAYS wonder about the story when I look at things....and wonder how some beautiful old portraits and such came to be outside the family realm. I also love to look at the old wedding gowns and wonder the WHO & WHY of it.

Wedding dresses don't make me too sad-at least the new ones don't,but how ccan a family get rid of wedding photos-love looking at them though!
I don't mind looking at the dresses-but how someone could get rid of or sell those wonderful pics is beyond me!
Hi Sandi,
I love vintage wedding displays and yours is wonderful! I always wonder the same thing especially when I find old pictures. How can families part with them I will never understand. Happy WW!
Blessings~
oh this was a sweet post. i too love imagining who might have "worn" something..a dress...a ring... a hat. thanks for sharing!
I find vintage wedding dresses make me a little melancholy. Same goes for christening gowns. I always wonder how they left their families archives.
Then again it is wonderful that we get to enjoy them once again.... a little Jekyll and Hyde I suppose?
Happy WW!

I also try to come up with stories when I look at displays...we are a weird bunch!!! aren't we???
Happy WW!!!
What a great display! And coming up with a history makes it even more fascinating.
Must be "bride" day on WW today... (I also posted on brides and their whites). Don't u just love old wedding pics? It's sooo hard to find a smiling, happy bride (they all look pretty miserable, or stoic, at best).
Hi Sandi! Thank you so much for stopping by my blog for my very first White Wednesday! I appreciate you leaving a comment. I'm becoming a follower next! happy ww...kathee
So gorgeous! I am going to hang my wedding dress in our guest room, I want to look at it every day! Your blog is so lovely, so happy to find you and happy to be your newest follower!
Sandi...
This is a BEAUTIFUL display.
You and Mary Ellen have such exquisite taste!!!
You think with your heart and you decorate with you soul...I love that about you :)
Speaking of decorate (sniff sniff)...I see our Nana up there on your half wall. She's sooooo beautiful :)))))
Everytime I look at her, I think of you!!!
Wedding gowns make wonderful displays! I have mine hanging off my bedroom door as a decoration! Beautiful job!

Yes, I do the same all of the time. Everything in my home has a story which makes me love the things so much more. There is nothing like something vintage to let your mind just wander:)

What a gorgeous display for the wedding dresses. A great display vignette will draw me in every time! Love the old photo!

So beautiful, Sandi!
And yes, I see so many displays in Warrenton that seem to tell a story. Makes me feel like my display skills are sorely lacking.
Have a wonderful Thursday!
Hugs,
Anne
Oh how I wish I lived close to go to this! Have a blast and great job helping put together her booth!
Hugs,
Maryjane
Beautiful post...I'd like to have that old trunk!
Beautiful display of wedding, and love the dresses hanging from the old nude lamp shade. Such history, and romancing inspiration.
