Pictures within a Picture

I love old photos, well old stuff in general, so I made an arrangement of framed photos of my husband's and my parents as children. I then hung old skeleton keys around them. I have buffalo nickels that are dated the year that each of them were born, although I have only put my parents’ nickels in the frames. Bill’s mom and dad are top and bottom, and my are left and right. (And after I post this I’m going to go straighten Mom’s photo which I just noticed is slightly askew!)
Wonderful!! I love this artistic and priceless display...the nickels and the keys add such a fabulous touch.

This is great! In my house, I have a bunch of old pictures of my family and horses (we are old cowboys!) and hung some rusty old spurs and bits. It looks pretty cool!
