 "not wanting to go out of the house" ~ I enjoy

 "fussying up my Jewelry Nook Area" 

 I brought out one of my favorite CHeRuB Statues,

Adorning her basket with some of the

 ViNtaGe Millinery I purchased yesterday...

 Soft Shades of greens... whites... filled up her little basket...

**It's ALL in the D*E*T*A*I*L*S...

 I wrapped a sprig of white flowers in her glistening tiara...

Here's the rest of **The PreTTies" I netted!*!*!

BeSt!*!*! ViNtaGe Tole Birdie with P*A*T*I*N*A...

I've REALLY been buying quite well lately - not only finding SHaBBies for my UpComing Shows & SaLes - but also for myself!*!*!  I REALLY think it's due to the unseasonably warm weather - encouraging people to rummage around in their GaRaGes... Basements... Attics... - with this EARLY Selling Season in mind...

 Here is yet ANOTHER Over-The-Top,

 Just FaB **KEEPER** for my personal

 ChiPPy!-SHaBBy! Collection...

** My Number One Weakness **

 in the "ChiPPy!-SHaBBy!" Category is

ViNtaGe...

Toleware...

Natural time-worn PaTiNa...

Fab Color...

Birdie...

ChiPPy!-SHaBBy! WHITE TWIG TREE with BiRdiE!*!*!

I've been seeing so many lovely HoLiDay W*H*I*T*E*S this year...  I'm linking up with Kathleen of Faded Charm ~ For WHITE WEDNESDAY with my SHaBBy-WhiTe Twig Tree & BiRdiE...

 I just LoVe This!*!*!

Although the Tree probably isn't that old, what appealed to me was it's crude branches & time-worn paint patina...  The newer, bristly birdie adornment was a perfect accent...   

 The base is wonderfully crude & chippy...

*~* Woodsy Winter Wonderland *~*

In between this 'n that, hop on over to Faded Charm's Blog and get inspired with all the other White Wednesday Entries...

**ViNtaGe** Mercury Glass Globe Shade ~ Re-Purposed!*!*!

 It's now time for me to start "Fussing-Up" ~ My-Own-Home for the HoLiDays!*!*!  I've started the "nesting process" for the long winter season ahead, - sorting, packing, & rearranging all my SHaBBies from this past Season...  I'm almost always rewarded by coming across something I had long forgotten about...  Such was the case as I came across a FaB ViNtaGe Find that I netted from the Iowa Junk Gypsies...  When I spotted this time-worn ViNtaGe Mercury Glass Globe Shade, I had a pretty good idea what my plans were for it...

I have the large globe flipped over ~ resting on a vintage plateau mirror...

 A side view of the globe reveals

 a much desired silver loss patina...  Adding a candle in a glass holder, most certainly will enhance this time~worn patina...

 I added some springs of "G*R*E*E*N*S from our garden, along with a sweet BiRdiE Adornment, painted silver acorns & leaves...

A unique, one-of-a-kind re-purposed F*I*N*D, 

 not only for the HoLiDay Season, but long into January as well...

*ChiPPy!-SHaBBy! ViNtaGe Boxes+++...

Since taking the Month of August "off from selling"... ~ I've been getting a lot of much needed ORGANIZING DONE around the house...  I've also been coming across many a vintage item that's now finding a new display area here and there on my shelves...  Here are a few ViNtaGe Boxes and such from my personal collection... 

 One-Of-A-Kind ImPerFeCtioNs...

*~*~ ViNtaGe Garden ~*~*

 The BeSt time-worn patina!*!*!

Be sure to click on this one to enlarge details...

 Rare... Early Seed Packet with original contents...

I love propping up vintage ephemera on small flower frogs...

Back to organizing...

  Who knows what else I'll find?!?!

Best of all - Some of it gets "Tagged For SaLe"...

**ChiPPy!-SHaBBy!** ViNtaGe Garden Style...

THINK SPRING!*!*!  My left-over flowering bulbs from last weekend's show are now adding a "hint-of-spring" to my IN-PROGRESS - Early January Entry Vignette...

While "digging-deep" for show stock last week, I uncovered a favorite wire fencing I hadn't seen in some time...  I love when this happens!*!*!

The "collage-box" was also somthing I hadn't seen in a long... long... time!!!  Catch a glimpse of a favorite "crusty/rusty" Industrial Stool to the right ~ BeSt!!!

The ChiPPy Bird is another FaVoRiTe I've had for years...  

**~**~ THINK SPRING ~**~**

Now hop on over to Debra's Common Ground for "INsPiRaTioN FRIDAY"!*!*!

**ChiPPy!-SHaBBy!** Cherubs... Birdies... Christmas Bling!*!*!

The Winter Weather is already keeping me way toooooo house bound!!!  Way toooo much time on the computer...  Way toooo much time in my Pj's...  Way toooo much "sweet treat" eating...   I have a million and one things I could be doing, but instead ~ I'm re-arranging vignettes!*!*!

 Just Dreamy...  I love Candelabras!*!*!

A hint of Christmas bling with the Cherub Statue now holding a silver glitter-tipped "vintage bottle brush tree"...

The statue's birdie is soooo special... 

A wonderful little tag adornment from my friend Debby in Ohio...  Crown... Vintage lace...  Just Sweet!*!*!

Perfectly crusty! rusty! white! & chippy!*!*!

A hint of *~*~BliNg~*~* now adorns the vintage chenille tree...

I just adore the **CROWN BLING** on the Tiara...  I didn't get CraZed over "Crowns" till I shopped Warrenton/Round Top TEXAS!!!

BeSt ViNtaGe Christmas Find of the Season so far!*!*!

~*~*~* Cherub ViNtaGe Christmas Vignette *~*~*
