Pages From the Past

A little known fact about me, is that I love old things. Really old things, not just second hand things like what most of my house is. I’m talking at least a 100 years or more.  Old books also happen to be something I enjoy. Oh, who I am kidding? I just love books!

Having (hopefully) made clear my love of old things. I have something rather exciting to share with you! Megan, From Shaping up to be a Mom, is starting up a shop. Based on…  you guessed it!

Old things! To be more exact, old books!

I was sent an example of their work and it is awesome! With Pages from the Past, you can request a certain passage and they will do their best to accommodate you. I chose Proverbs 31 (of course) and a white frame. Doesn’t it look awesome against my brown walls?

Two page spread, framed horizontally 10×13- $35

The hubby of course, was very interested as well. He pulled out his lighted magnifying glass and started looking at the wording, the old style font, and comparing it against our KJV version bible. Then he noticed something unique. The letter s was replaced with the letter f. So the word jewels, looked like jewelf. Just reading you wouldn’t see it, but it you look closer you can. So totally cool!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Here is what Megan has to say about her new shop:

Own a piece of history with a framed page from a 200-year old Bible! We recently came into possession of a rare, almost-complete Bible printed in 1814, and we thought it would be a wonderful idea to create works of art out of these antique pages. These framed pages will look fantastic on the walls of your home, and they are a great conversation piece. We do our best to accommodate all customer requests for certain pages or passages.

And a few quick examples:

One page and corresponding illustration, framed 11×14- $50

One page, framed 8×10- $20

I was in Hobby Lobby last night and out of curiosity looked at the pricing of similar art and was shocked! Needless to say, Pages from the Past has very competitive pricing.

    Very cool! Just an FYI, I believe back then the letter “s” was written like “f.” It’s still jewels, it just looks funny to us modern readers. And oh my, how rude that comment seems, but I sincerely don’t mean it to be. 🙂

      I didn’t take your comment as rude 🙂 Actually, I find that really cool. We had fun comparing the wording to that of our KJV bibles as well. No much changed which is awesome!
