color of the month-Sweetheart Red

In honor of Valentine’s this February’s color of the month can only be RED!

Fave pieces: the cute silhouette sweetheart tray, awesome canisters, great glassware, cute strawberry sugar bowl, and fantastic wood fire truck toy!

I adore this vintage tablecloth! You'd never know it has a hole here and there. Melmac plates set the stage of course, including these adorable saucers with strawberries! Bold vintage glasses and red stripe napkins complete the look!

The Return of Winter

On days like this I pat myself on the back for hiring a driveway snow removal service. This powdery winter wonderland is beautiful, especially with the snow sitting on the tree branches! But, this weekend I’m happy to be safely tucked away in the studio!

Vintage sneak peek!

Every year or so when visiting family I stop into a couple of favorite vintage buying spots. They never disappoint, and this time, WOW! I had a super Melmac Attack, and found loads of great glassware! I only wish I could go to these places more often! Here’s a little sneak peek of what I’ll be adding to my vintage shop in the coming weeks!

color of the month- True Blue

Time to get back to the regularly scheduled color of the month! I love aqua all year and in the winter I think it feels extra fresh and crisp.

Aqua melmac makes the grade along with some awesome pincecone glasses by Marcrest Stetson. Matching salt n p's and aqua shakers on the bottom sit next to Vacron Bopp Decker mugs. I love the polka dot glass! The false teeth holder is a hoot, and the 5 lb peanut butter pail makes a great display piece!

Wintery fresh! I adore these melmac plates with aqua and metallic gold accents! The pinecone glasses are by Marcrest Stetson and the plastic doily placemat makes a nice anchor for the aqua topped aluminum salt and p's! Plus a Limited Edition blue artgoodies bike towel reminds you that Spring will be around the corner!

It’s a wrap.

I thought I’d put this handy tip on my blog for ya. I don’t like to buy a lot of wrapping paper. I, of course, keep some vintage on hand, and usually I buy one non holiday looking versatile holiday paper on sale after Christmas to get me through the year. But sometimes you need something you don’t quite have. Today I needed something more girly than usual so I broke out the old brown paper bag, doily, and homemade bow trick! It’s something I’ve used on multiple occasions. How cute is this! Also adorable with a solid color wrapping paper.
