I don't even know where to begin! I can't believe I haven't posted anything since September!
Since then, Carriage House has had their Anniversary Open House, participated in the Vintage Shop Hop and held our Holiday Open House. Whew! It's always a lot to handle when I'm setting up for the Holiday Open House, but boy was I happy with the finished results in my space!
I found so much more vintage Christmas the weekend of our Holiday Open House that I replenished right away...
here's more....
This was my teaser photo...
My friend had bought a huge stock of vintage Christmas and there was a torn tree skirt in that haul. She gave it to me because I fell in love with the cutest faces on it! I cut them out. See for yourself....
I made my vintage car creations this year. Finding vintage cars was really hard this year so I used some tins too. They all came out super cute!
And how about these....
As you know, many of the flea markets were canceled this year. But, the Elkhorn Flea market was not canceled in September. While I was there, I met an Instagrammer that I follow, Mrs. Santa Claus!
I found this doll bed at a local barn sale American Antique Barn. This was tagged as an elf bed so I brought it home and added a board and "blanket" to it.
I can't wait to add my pixie collection to it!
Recently I added this print to my collection. I can't believe that I was hesitating on purchasing it. So glad I bought it! Another piece I can't wait to decorate with at Christmas...
I just have to show you this super cool cat that I found at an estate sale. It is so groovy....
Isn't it fun?
I was thinking of purging some of my vintage enamel flower pins recently until I really started going through them. I just couldn't get rid of any of them!
They are all so different.
Garage sales are pretty much over for the year. It's getting really cold around here in IL. You can still find estate sales though. So make sure to treasure hunt at thrift stores and antique stores. Support small business as often as you can.
Happy treasure hunting!
