(painted by Aunt Goldie in 1959 - I wish I had an Aunt Goldie - I think I will just start calling my Aunt Betty Aunt Goldie - I don't think she will mind)
at a vintage shop in Asheville last fall. I finally decided to add some clipboard clips to them and make gigantic clipboards.
This one is easy-peasy, as mine always are!
1. Measure for center and mark your drill holes 2. Drill holes 3. Add screws - now I have a grinder to grind off the back of the screws like I do with the clipboard corkboards that I sell, you may need to add a back buffer of cardboard, wood, etc if they stick out too far - TIP - holding the clip opening while working with the screw hole takes the strength of 10 crafty mavens, so just do like I do and shove a book in it to hold it open.
These are super simple and are the perfect place to hold my growing (sorry hubs) people and their dogs picture collection!

I wish I had an aunt called Betty. But Goldie sounds great too.
I guess it'll have to do with my Werna, Walborg, Vesla, Karin, Cis, Kari, Ragnhild, Reidun and Edel. They are/have been wonderful aunts too!
Ooh what great names! I think everyone in the US has an aunt named Betty (aka elizabeth) I think it was an elizabeth taylor thing xo
I had an Aunt Betty and she was... um... trouble. Anyway, my grandma did some paint-by-numbers in the 1950s (landscapes mostly). Now I know what to do with them!
