More Glamour
I recently wandered into the Kenneth W Rendell Gallery on Madison Avenue — they specialize in historical letters, manuscripts and documents. The sheer variety of objects they have framed and for sale makes it a bit of a cabient of curiosity. A sweet note from Agatha Christie, below, a letter from Audrey Hepburn discussing her garden in full bloom, a sort of sad Christmas card from the Prince of Wales. I could post hundreds of photos — a document from Chippendale, a letter from Marie Antoinette but I’ll stop here and let you check it out if it interests you. Everything is beyond expensive, but, just looking at these artifacts is enough — it’s tiny bits of insight into these famous people.

you know would this treatment be a great way to display special notes from the people you love?
i’m thinking what if i took the first two love letters my hubby and i wrote each other and framed them along with a photo from that time. thanks for the idea Abbey!
