Here are a few of the vintage portraits I have been collecting for a vintage lady portrait wall at Black & Spiro. It's so lovely to be bringing these ladies back to life. We are actually planning an exhibition of these and more at Black & Spiro. I'll keep you posted.

Luck be a Lady.
You must play that song when you have these ladies exhibited. "Luck be a Lady" - by Frank Sinatra.
Lucky you.
Hi I love your blog. I have a webzine called "What She Likes" and was wondering if I can feature your blog and the ur work there. I didn't mail you because I have mailed many people for featuring their work and I get no reply. I see that the comments are moderated so I thought you would notice mine. I really enjoyed visiting your blog! Regard
Those are all your? How beautiful! how do you have them displayed? I would love to see a picture of that! pretty please!!!
Oh my goodness these are TO DIE FOR!!! WOW Anna!! I am seriously drooling and wishing I lived in Australia to come check them out!! I can't wait to see photos of the exhibition! Where have you collected all these beauties?
Also, I'm SO happy to hear that you received the fabrics and that you like them! You're my first customer so I was a bit nervous and I cannot tell you how much I appreciate it :) Can't wait to see what you do with them!
Have you seen my 'Mrs. Butterhouse' portrait painting. I posted about it last week! I can't wait to see your wall at Black & Spiro.
You have inspired me to look into finding unique portraits for my own home!!

Hi Mabelle - I thought you'd love these portraits!! I am SO thrilled with the fabric - so much more beautiful in real life! Thank you and I'll be sure to send you pictures once I have made them up! I am actually showing the Chevron to a client tomorrow for some old bentwood dining chair seats she is wanting to recover! Very exciting!

These are great! Love your blog and hope to visit your shop soon. What is this amazing wall paper (fabric?) behind the green chair in your window? By the way, you should know that your nice ˝obsession˝ with women portraits have inspired my sister Rebecca who lives in Bosnia (another regular reader of yours) to start painting women portraits!!
Greetings,

There's a feeling of wanting to find out more about each lady's background when you look at them - beautiful paintings.
SO jealous!! i finally found my first one last week to begin my own portrait wall - it's a charcoal drawing, very simple, and i love it. all of yours have wonderful character! can't wait to see the complete collection :)
Anna, what an absolutely lovely idea!
It's nice to see that these old portraits are given a new life. I would to see the finished display and see what you do with them.
