January 2017 – artgoodies

Wow, sorry you guys, I seem to keep getting behind on my blog posts. Hope your New Year is off to a great start! The only thing missing here this January is the SUN! How about some winter blues for this month’s color of the month! And it won’t be long until the February edition! Just around the corner!

Still working on a project in the usual spot so here’s a temp move to the kitchen nook. Fave vintage: bubble pedestal cups, Shawnee small blue vase, bluejay glass, tulip glass, n Swiss Alpine bowl with original tag from my personal collection, the rest are available in my vintage shop! Oh and anchored by a bold vintage napkin.

Keeping it pretty simple. Fave vintage: plastic doily tablecloth (also used at our head table at the wedding) over an aqua tablecloth, bold napkins, Swiss Chalet plates, awesome sour cream glasses, and Fleetwood fiberglass or melmac serving bowl.

Oops, I thought I published this! Sorry friends! Guess I was too busy enjoying home. This year was extra festive in several regards. Stephan and I are celebrating our first holiday together and I also put up the most vintage holiday decor ever. 3 aluminum trees, more displays, pine garland and after a long hiatus on gift giving we’ll unwrap a bounty of surprises under the tree this year. And as always I’ve got well over 100 vintage holiday items in my vintage shop so you can add to or start your own collection!

The great wall of all vintage holiday display! Well, far from all but it does house quite a bit of the collection!

My new display this year. I nabbed this wood shelf house at a thrifty this summer. It was dark brown, hunter green, and golden yellow…nothing a little spray paint and sanding couldn’t fix! I put my more traditional red and green pieces here and I love it!

A local photographer, Matthew Provoast came and shot some interiors for holiday. Aren’t they great! 2 of the aluminum trees are in this room, the other on the front porch.

January Color of the Month!
