So now that Halloween is over and Thanksgiving is quickly approaching, my mind is focusing on Christmas. I have been busy getting ready for the Holiday Open House November 17-20 at the Carriage House. I have marked so many things down in my space this week to make room for all of the vintage Christmas that I will be bringing in. It helps that we will be closed November 14-16 to prepare the shop for the Open House. I will need that time since I have about 9 bins full of vintage Christmas treasures. I love to see the customer reactions when they enter the store and are surrounded by the wonder of Christmas.
On Saturday (even though it was really warm outside), I created more vintage trucks with bottle brush trees. This time, I used sewing thimbles for the base of the trees. I had some vintage advertising thimbles that had a red stripe around them so they were perfect for the Christmas colors I was using on the trucks. They are adorable! I had to keep one for myself and the rest will be at the Open House.
There are so many Holiday Open Houses coming up. Tomorrow night, Wednesday Nov 9 is the Pink Geranium and the other stores on Pepper Road https://www.facebook.com/thepinkgeraniumandco/?fref=ts from 4-8pm. The stores in Ridgefield will be having their Open House Nov 25-27. https://www.facebook.com/TheAntiqueShopsOfRidgefield/?fref=ts
Happy treasure hunting!
Fun idea. I may have to do this with a couple of my trucks.
