A while back I took a old bulletin board I had and put it in this vintage gold frame. Then when I had a show and I needed a display for my jewelry, I started looking around the house for what I could use. I thought a cork board would be perfect! Only problem was, you could really see the gold jewelry that was hanging on it, so I covered it in this cream fabric I took from an old tablecloth. After the show (several months ago), I just hung it back on the wall as is and it has been looking pretty plain ever since. Yesterday I decided to spruce it up while Ruby was in her seat eating a quick snack, so I only had about 5-10 minutes. I grabbed an old children's book I found on etsy awhile back, the binding was shot, but the pictures are sweet. I didn't want to use thumb tacks, I needed something more classy...hmmm...brooches! I seem to have an endless supply of vintage brooches, so I just stuck one in each corner and I was done.

Vintage Children's Books
My mom recently went to an estate sale and picked up these neat things for me. These elementary school Science books from the 1950's are fantastic. If my science books had looked like this I think I would have enjoyed the subject a little more. Now all I need are a couple Erlenmeyer flasks and I'll have a really cute display!
This rotating disk from the 1930's shows Inventions on one side and Wonders of the World on the other side. You turn the dial to the item you want and it tells you who invented it and what year, etc.
A set of children's dictionaries from the 1960's in vibrant colors. My favorite part is the pictures inside like this one explaining Biology.
Thanks Mom!
