Yes, I know that today is Halloween, but we in the vintage market are ready for Christmas. In fact, tomorrow is our Holiday Open House at Sweet Clover Barn.
I just got back from the barn and wanted to share what I'll have for sale.
I'm always looking for pieces with drawers or cubbies.
This card catalog from a Baltimore, MD school library fit the bill.
If you follow along you know another of my favorite finds is Campaign furniture. Not only did I find a piece, but it was already red and perfect for the holiday season.
It's hard to let go of this vintage green drum table with a copper top.
I have several trees in my space. Besides traditional ornaments I repurposed:
A hunting license badge holder now holds vintage Christmas greeting cards.
Copper and enamel stencils became ornaments when a ribbon was added.
Clips for bills now hold Christmas post cards.
Men's vintage collars curl around the branches.
Door knob back plates can be ornaments too.
I also copied antique clock faces and mounted the faces to card stock and added a ribbon.
Old thermometers can hang on trees too.
On a recent shopping trip I found some spools of cord. My rosemary topiary fit perfectly inside the tube of the green cord spool. I topped the other with an ornament. Behind the spools is a wrapping paper holder.
I also have some vintage items that make great gifts or stocking stuffers. There's a drafting table too.
Perfect for more table space at your holiday gatherings.
There's the third spool of cord. I added a vintage scissors to this one.
Need a hostess gift:? This drawer from a file cabinet can hold a wine bottle. The small leather books are mini versions of classics.
I also have normal ornaments.
I attached some deer ornaments to an old metal locker with magnets.
It's hard to see, but I hung mini crystal chandelier ornaments from a suspended mattress spring from a doll bed.
My Santos angel wears a boxwood necklace. Behind her is a green tin roof section with some greenery.
It's magnetic too.
A vintage green bottle holds some silver branches, the Infant of Prague planter is the perfect red, and vintage glasses in a tote for your next party.
I hope you'll come see us.

YAY! your space is amazing!
ReplyDeleteKathy, I'd be drawn to your space like a moth to a flame and probably snapping photos of all your wonderful vignettes. Everything looks wonderful and I know you'll sell lots! xoxo
ReplyDeleteYou have the coolest items! If I lived close, I would definitely be one of your best customers! I love the red campaign chest. Since I started reading your blog, I've really become interested in campaign furniture. It's not something you see in Dallas.
