My aunt recently sent me these adorable little vintage gloves. Measuring in at 2.5 inches long and one inch wide, they are made of leather and are in good condition.
Aren't they sweet? She acquired them from their church's recent annual yard sale so we don't know the full story, of course, but suspect they were doll gloves of yesteryear. I did a little online research and found them to look quite similar to French doll accessories from the late 19th century. Could they be?
My aunt said she thought that I could do something crafty with them and I am delighted that she thought of me! My mind began imagining creative ways to display the little treasures. I ended up making this 5 by 7 inch picture, using supplies I had in my stash. The frame was one I had picked-up at a yard sale for 25 cents because I thought I could use it someday for a little project of some sort. The background is a floral-printed paper doily that a friend gave me last Christmas. The buttons and scrap lace along the bottom were in my supplies and the three miniature roses were given to me by a friend.
In this close-up shot, you can see that the gloves, pale pink roses and buttons are the only dimensional objects.
Wouldn't it be interesting to know the real scoop on the little gloves?
Do you have any little vintage treasures on display at your house?
Weekend blessings to you!
