Thrifted Thursday! Vintage Vogue Posters

This week's "Thrifted Thursday" features are a pair of vintage Vogue posters that I found recently while thrifting. I was immediately drawn to them and snatched them up as fast as I could! They came with these simple gold frames and that's how they are staying for now. They will probably end up in a bedroom, but for now, are on my mantle in the den hanging with some other thrifted friends, some of my milk glass collection.
The one on the left is titled "Vanity Number"(for sale HERE), and the one on the right is titled "Suggestions for the Hostess" These are taken from Vogue covers in 1916 and 1917, and were designed by Helen Dryden. They have beautiful colors and are in fairly good shape. I believe they were printed in the 70's but I'm not sure.
 The posters alone sell online for more than I paid for the poster and frame, so I'm happy with my purchase! Who knew you could find fun things like this at the Memphis, TN Goodwill!
 Here are a couple of angles to give you perspective of where they sit in the den. It needed a little more sophistication, so these help for now :)
I hope you're having a relaxing day like Riley on the couch over there. He has kind of become part of my decor so I don't bother moving him anymore!
