Working on the *Christmas Entry Vignette*...


Each year I "pull" some items from my personal *Christmas S*T*A*S*H*, and replace them with "more recent" ViNtaGe Finds I have acquired during the past selling season...
  Here are **THREE** Over-The-Top FaB ViNtaGe FiNdS
 I'll be incorporating into this year's
 HoLiDay Entry Vignette In-Our-Home...

 Sooooo Creative!*!*!
One-Of-A-Kind... 
A mix of old & new Christmas Ornaments shaped into a Tree -
surrounded by a time~worn Frame 
on an industrial wire grill of sort...
Just AwEsoMe Find from *When Pigs Fly*
 - Whitewater, Wisconsin...


 

ViNtaGe Wooden *Merry Christmas* Sign
FaB Find!!! ~ So much more character than the picture shows...
AwEsoMe Find on EBAY, from Gloria of SHABBYTOWNUSA!!!




*Made-In-Wisconsin*
CARVED-OUT WOODEN *SKI LIFT SIGN*
Not Sure how old this sign is - but the weathered board,
 old screw holes, and marks on the backside,
  - show evidence of some authentic age to the piece...
******
Will make a perfect "Go-With" for a pair of
ViNtaGe SNOW SHOES I have ~ In Old-White-Paint
Perhaps I'll save this sign till January??? - If I can't fit it in!!!

Have a Wonderful Week Ahead
as we turn our calendars to DECEMBER
 ~ OMG!!! ~
I have lots of projects to do around our home...
