Vintage Valentine's Day

We've been very busy rearranging and adding inventory at the shop (and we still have a bunch to put in!) 

I thought that I 'd show you some of what we've been busy doing for Valentine's Day.

Here are a bunch of our vintage valentines and a selection of our vintage cherubs and puttis. 

Here we've taken one of our vintage wrought iron plant stands and repurposed it to hold our sexy red shoes and some of our purses and handbags, which are just perfect for your red hot Valentine's date.  If only they fit my foot. *sigh*

Here another vintage plant stand has been called into action to hold this two-tiered planter which is now on jewelry holding duty.  This actually turned out better than we thought it would.  We were just playing around with ideas and the jewelry but it really works out great to keep all the necklaces (plus a bracelet or two) highly visible and organized.  Wish I had one of these for my bedroom!

<3 I hope you all have a great Valentine's Day! <3

My Favorite Thing in the Store

This vintage aqua wrought iron table and chairs set is my favorite thing in the store. Doesn't look like something that Doris Day would have in one of her movies? It is just so much fun. I just love everything about this set--the color, its unusual design. Wouldn't it be fun to set a small garden statue or something in the "cage" base of the table. Flowers or tiny lights could be twined in the "loops."

It sat in my garage for a long time before I brought it down to the store. I really wanted to move it into my breakfast room, but my husband doesn't love it like I do. I was a tough decision, but I decided that I keep the husband and bring the table set to the store so that someone else could love it as much as I do. In all fairness, we need five chairs if all of us are eating at home in the breakfast room and I have another set outside, but I really could picture this set in my beach house that I am going to have someday.

Aside from this table, I actually have been buying vintage goodies, when I run into them, that would be perfect for my future beach house. I figure if God put them in my path, then He will eventually provide the means to buy the beach house. I was a Girl Scout and the motto was Be Prepared. Am I the only one out there that is preparing for a future dream home that may or may not come about? If I never get the beach house, I still have some wonderful items that I can decorate with and remind me of the beach and make me smile. Decorating vintage is not only romantic but fun and happy too and is just another little beit of bliss.
