win

the trophy room
Regular readers will know that I am sick for a vintage trophy.  And a pennant, and a rosette.  I can't seem to stuff my home with enough of them.  My mate Jen is a trophy collector too, and we'll often go out on the hunt together. Luckily though, there's no ugly squabbles over them, as Jen is a shiny silver trophy kind of gal and I like them grubby - the more battered and tarnished the better.  Our families think we are nuts, but we know the truth.  We are winners - and we have the prizes to prove it.

  1. You make perfect sense to me......
    I have a few tarnished vintage trophies just like the one in the pic.
    I put tea lights in mine......and display them proudly (as though I earned them) ;o)
    They just don't make them like they used to!
    Have a great day!

  4. Hi Heather,
    I added some vintage trophy pics to my blog post today......
    I think you may be the only person I know who'd appreciate them.
    If you have time you might like to take a look (excuse the styling and photography pretty please).
    Have a great day!!!
