ETSY & VINTAGE FINDS

Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend. The weather here has been sunny and warm the last couple days. I plan to get out and enjoy the weekend, hopefully doing some treasure hunting.

Today I thought I would share new items in my Etsty Shoppe "VintageWindow"

A set of tins painted in spring colors. Set includes a large pail (fill with ice, put your drinks in to keep cold) painted white, 3 smaller tins (add fresh cut flowers, place on your table for a sweet spring table centerpiece) painted in pastel pink, green and blue.



A vintage Breadbox. I painted this with a distressed peach finish and added the print (by Sonie Ames) using decoupage medium. I then added an aged finish and sealed the entire breadbox.

Vintage Bathroom/Vanity Set. Purchased at an estate sale, these are not a matching set, but rather a collection that was pieced together by the previous owner. The set includes a wonderful metal with plastic liner wastebasket. The front features a lovely rose. The footed swivel mirror has lovely detailing. There is also a footed tissue box and a brush/mirror set. The brush/mirror have chic gold/brushed gold stripes on the back side, they are made of a heavy plastic.




We also have vintage Gift Wrap and Greeting Cards. I still have more to add to the shop, but here are some samples of our current listings.

Vintage Baby Gift Wrap. It measures 20"x20". Isn't it just the sweetest?


Vintage Angel Get Well Cards. Set of 3.


1950's Retro Chic Shower Gift Wrap. Measures 20"x30"


Phil and I found a lot of gift wrap and greeting cards from the 1950's. We are still sorting through all of the items and will be listing them in the next couple of weeks. We also have other vintage treasures and some hand-painted items listed.

Have a happy day

Hi Kris,
Glad you are enjoying some warmer weather. You sure hit some great finds. I love your sap buckets and ice container collection. Also the vanity items are wonderful.
The bread box is really nice too. I love the distress and then antiquing over it. You are so talented my friend and such an inspiration.
The papers are awesome and also the cards. You sure found some treasures.

Thanks for stopping by and your kind comments. I wish I could come right over and work with you. I love to organize stuff. It seems I work and then reorganize all the time. LOL Oh well~~~
Good luck in my giveaway.
Have a great evening.
hugs, Celestina Marie
