I haven't participated in Vintage Thingy Thursday hosted by Suzanne at Colorado Lady in ages. Just been busy. As I sat and looked other blogs and their items. I wondered what in the world I could post about today? As I look to the right of my laptop there hangs this little vintage treasure practically in my face. This Wecolme Door Harp was my paternal Grandmother's. She always had it on the back of her door as long as I could remember. For 10 years of my childhood she lived in the house attached to ours, so I
saw her quite often growing up.
It rings so sweetly when jiggled. (sorry the photos are blurry, like me, the batteries in my camera were running out!) Why the black line? not sure. I can see faintly it says "Welcome Door Harp Co". I don't have it on any of my doors, with three kids coming and going I don't think it would survive.
Happy VTT!
What unusual vintage item to have been saved from your family. It was nice to read your story behind it.
ReplyDeleteThat is definitely vintage.
ReplyDeleteVTT~ Old horns
I can just imagine the pretty sound that makes! Your quilts caught my eye. I will back to look at those later!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your door harp. Ever since I read "Davita's Harp" by Chaim Potok, I've WANTED one. Yours is very special.
ReplyDeleteI love your harp too. It's nice that it still has the information and instructions on the back.
ReplyDeleteSweet! Even though we've downsized, I made it a priority to keep a couple of things that were my grandparents. The harp is darling. Good vintage save! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a treasure! THis is so very cute and unusual, I would love to have one of these, this one looks to be in wonderful shape. Thanks for sharing it today! Happy VTT!
ReplyDeleteBet it sounds wonderful. Wonderful treasure.
ReplyDeleteI love the little door harp. I've never seen one and I would sure like to..and to hear the sweet tones coming from it.
ReplyDeleteNow this I've seen before. The next town over is known as a Swedish village so there are tons of Swedish artifacts. Yours is very cute!
ReplyDeleteSorry I'm late coming by.
