Here in the Midwest, "WEATHER" - is always a concern when selling at a Antique/Flea Event - even if it's mostly indoors...  This past weekend at the Flea - GRAYSLAKE, ILLINOIS, WE COULDN'T HAVE ASKED FOR BETTER WEATHER - **Just GoRgeOuS** - high 60's & Sunny!*!*!  Needless to say, this combo yielded a GREAT TURNOUT, & they were BUYING...  Lot's of ViNtaGE GARDEN was showcased in many a booth ~ including mine!!!

**********

Although the BirdCage did not sell,

EVERYONE WANTED IT!!! - INCLUDING ME!!!  I just LoVe how my SPRINGTIME Display turned out!*!*!  The vignette kept changing  - as I SOLD "smalls" from inside the cage.

I just may KEEP this FiNd - Especially AFTER seeing an inspirational pic on PINTEREST -collage of different size cages displayed on a porch wall!!! ~ Just FaB!*!*!  It looked sooooo Anthro!*!*!

BeSt-Ever!*!*! VinTage Tole Birdies & Cage...

LAST WEEK, while selling my SHaBBies at the 

  Grayslake Antique/Flea Market, I netted

 *~* One-Of-The-BeSt-Ever *~* ViNtaGe Finds

for my personal ChiPPy!-SHaBBy! Collection!!!  

The BeSt of EVERYTHING!*!*! 

ViNtaGe...

Italian Tole...

ChiPPy PaTiNa...

Birdies...

Garden Ivy Leaves...

Metal Italy Tag...

 It's not very often that I come across

 ViNtaGe Italian Tole 

with BiRdiEs!*!*!  

I've seen Tole Birdcages before...

I've seen Tole Birds on Sconces/Candle Holders...

I've seen Birds on Tole Flower Lamps...

But I have NEVER seen the combination of both

 the Birdies & Cage together!*!*!

 I LoVe when these Italian Tole Pieces

 STILL RETAIN their ORIGINAL

 Metal -Or- Paper, "Made-In-Italy" Tag... 

For now, this darling Birdie/Cage

 will adorn my hutch filled with some of

 my FaVoRite White Pottery...

Have a good rest of the week...

Time to Take Down the **ChiPPy! ~ SHaBBy!** HoLIDay Bling...

In the next day or so I'll be taking down my Christmas HoLiDaY Bling...  EVERYTHING will be looking soooo bare...  Simplicity rules the first few weeks of January in our home...  What will I keep up???  Is it tooo soon for just a hint of flowers???  I'll need to change out the "birdcage" display adornments... What will I discover in the cupboards as I put things away??? ~ Creative Fun Awaits and one thing for sure - IT HAS TO HAVE PATINA!*!*!

Just a hint of flowers...  

I've had this darling little "letter-tote" for a long time...  It's imperfections add so much character to the piece - time-worn paint crazing... chippy-edges on the gesso flowers... and great detailed form... This piece is already on my desk ~ THinK SpRiNg!*!*!

Time to "Change-Out" the Birdcage Display...

The darling little paper tree inside the cage is a hand-made find from Judy, of the Iowa Junk Gyspies!!!  Time to change-it-out, and adorn the inside with "Just a hint of Spring"...

More ChiPPy Sightings...

  Another Birdcage - perfectly chippy finial on top... 

ChiPPy Picture Frame...

Picture frames have endless possibilities... ~ Turn into a chalkboard... Line with screen to hang earrings on... Cushion with fabric to display your pins/brooches...  Run wire across to clip pictures/post cards on...  Have a mirror installed... & of course - what about mounting an actual picture!!!

 

**ChiPPy!-SHaBBy!** ViNtaGe Christmas Vignette...

Like Jan of "Gracie's Cottage"... WHY DID I WAIT SOOOOOO LONG to complete my Christmas Holiday Vignette!?!?!?  I feel sooooo much better now!!!  I ended up putting just a minimal "icing on the cake" ~ if you want to call it that...  I just LoVe how it turned out!*!*!  Almost everything is "ViNtaGe" & a little bit "ChiPPy" ~ of course!!!

I always like to start out a vignette with an

"ANCHOR-PIECE"...

The Architectural Column was it...

With Christmas just days away, I really didn't want to "pull out ALL my ViNtAge Christmas"...

Soooooo ~ I choose "one box full" ~ of my FaVoRiTe GREEN VINTAGE BOTTLE BRUSH TREES...  I had the PeRfeCt Old Green Metal Stand to display them on!*!*!  It has the best wrought iron legs ~ seen in my last photo...

Here's a close-up of "ChiPPy-Santa"...

BeSt!!! ~ Natural time-worn chippy paint patina...  "Sooooo much more interesting than brand new"!!!

I love "birdies" any time of year!!!

Rusty old milk bottle carrier serves as a prop ~ "flipped-over" adorned with greens & holiday twinkle lights...  The bird cage is adorned with a bit of bling & birdies...

A bit of Vintage Garden mixed in a Holiday Vignette ~ makes for such a special look!*!*!

The URN rests on top of the architectural column and supports Tree Branch Cuttings along with a Bird's Nest...

I was lucky enough to net this vintage  "Green Chenille Tree" some years back...  Although it's not as old as my "White Chenille Tree" - that I recently posted, It still has it's own unique look...

 

This ViNtaGe Wreath is soooooo SHaBBy!*!*!  Great focal point hung on the architectural post...

~*~*~  Wishing YOU a Merry Christmas   ~*~*~
