Vintage Love

Here ye...hear ye...Holly at Banner Haus made me a custom bloggie doggie banner!  She totally rocks!!  I love it!!

Vintage Love!! 

I have NO idea why I'm so captivated by all things vintage.  When my mom or hubby walk thru an antique mall or junk shop with me they are 3 aisles over and I'm still fascinated in the 2nd or 3rd display area.  I got this old funky door for $20 at my fav shoppe that sells stuff shipped over from Europe.  I imagine it was on a really neat cottage out in the fields somewhere quaint.  She needs some attention but I love her.

I love Joan at Anything Goes Here!!  She is 1 of my very 1st blog friends.  I won an awesome book, Blogging for Bliss, from her right off and got thrown into the incredible world of blog crafters.  Joan has the most keen eye for vintage gadgets and can re~work them to something hip and funky to display. 

I find a lot of my postcards out at antique malls or junk shops.  I won't pay much so I have to keep searching but I hit a jackpot last summer in Virginia's Eastern Shore B&B community of Cape Charles.  It was so bloomin' hot in the shop that I thought I would faint while looking thru her huge stash...but do you vintage lovers think that stopped me? 

Uuhhhh, that would be a No..

I think I forced myself to stop once I found $12 worth at a $1 each.

I didn't pay more than $2 for any of these shown:

I got this at a local antique shoppe.  It is vintage inspired greeting card.

Girls, I had to have this peridot vintage inspired ornament..

Nate's birthstone is Peridot!

J. Nichelle's etsy shoppe

I think I've had a thing for chickies this Spring.

This is my Easter tree last year.  See my Radkos and my sugared and velvet eggs with pictures of Hubby when he was growing up.  ;-}

OMGosh...Lamb planter!!  Got him a few years ago in Galveston, TX at a funky antique shoppe.

I always fill it with Lambs ear or alysum.

Italy Pottery!  I probably should never put dirt in it but I'm learning to enjoy my things.

These sure seem vintage to me. 

I've had them for many seasons.  Probably got them at Ross or Marshall's on clearance...after Easter 1 year.  I'm not the smartest bunny ever!!  I think I actually bought these with the Mrs. missing her ears but do you think I even noticed until this year??  that too would be a NO! lol  I've just always stopped short of noticing because I'm giggling at her cracked egg bonnet.  I gotta find some funky ol' pieces of metal to try to rig her some ears.  This is the window in front of my crafting studio.  I've lost enough plants to now re~think this area.  Gotta bring the birdies over here so I can look over at them from my desk and smile at them.  Sonic Kitty loves to perch here now...I've moved just enough stuff that he can sit and look too.

That's all folks...xox, DeniseMarie
