Waiting For SPRINGTIME ~ Ugh...

 

~** WHiLe-We-Wait **~

For this entire past year, it seems that ALL I'VE BEEN DOING, is WAITING & HOPING!!!   Still dealing with all the aspects of the pandemic, and now - Severe Frigid Temps along with "MOUNTAINS OF SNOW", make me feel like I'm "Trapped in a Snow Globe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I'm really trying to stay "hopeful" - that better days will eventually come...

Will I ever get back to SeLLing My ChiPPy-SHaBBy ViNtaGe Finds at various Flea Markets & Speciality Shows???  - It's been way toooooo long!*!*!     

*I Miss Seeing All of My Wonderful Customers!!!

*I Miss the "Chit-Chat"!!!

*I Miss Setting-Up Displays at the Flea Markets!!!

*I Miss All the Inspiration

 a LIVE SHOPPING Experience Brings!!!

On... & On...

The reality of living in Wisconsin & close to Lake Michigan, - is that Springtime comes late here.   Honestly, I've had daffodils still blooming in the month of MAY!!!  *This Year* it's going to be MONTHS-YET, before I see my 1st Garden Hose Sighting!!!

After Valentine's Day, I like to start pulling out some of my ViNtaGe Birdie Adornments...  BiRdies & live flowering Bulb-Plants in terrariums should keep me going until Mid-March...  Maybe by then I'll have some *GOOD NEWS* about upcoming events!

~*Hearts-a-FLuTTer*~ Time to open the ViNtaGe VaLenTine Display Box!*!*!

 Less than a month away for the

 "short-lived"  ~ but much loved 

VaLeNtiNe's Day Delights - That Come Mid February... 

*For the L*O*V*E of BiRdS*

~* ViNtaGe VaLeNtiNe LoVe BiRd Heart Planter *~

These type of planter/vases were used by floral shops...

Today ~you can magically transform these *Precious Little Pretties*

by just adding a few adornments.

This Year I added a shabby vintage plateau mirror as a base...  I love the filigree edge pattern!  The beveled edge mirror with a bit of "silver-loss" patina, - adds character/charm...  The Cloche Dome Top, although not old, is like ***Icing-On-The-Cake!!!

Thanks for StoPPing By!*!*!

A Much WeLCoMed New Year... ~*JANUARY*~ -2021-

 

Starting Off the *New Year* in-our-home, with a very cheerful, fresh, light, & welcoming

 "EARLY  JANUARY" WINTER VIGNETTE... 

I've always loved designating  ~just one main area~  in our home to create *Seasonal Vignettes*...

  I like the IMPACT/STATEMENT it creates - having just this ONE area, verses spreading it out all over the home.  I focus, for the most part on selecting One-Of-A-Kind *ViNtaGe FiNdS* to create these Vignettes...  I look to nature for inspiration & re-purposing objects to relate to a seasonal look ...  

 I chose to put away  WINTER themed adornments such as snow shoes, skis, ice skates etc. -  even tho they relate to winter...  I've just had enough of these in previous Holiday Displays.   THIS YEAR I WANTED SOMETHING  FRESH, BRIGHT, & UP-LIFTING!!!   

White Vintage Tote

with FReSh/ALiVe Green Leaves..

Dried Oranges ~ Strung on a ViNtaGe Ladder...

I've always wanted to try drying oranges!!! - This was the year!

I cannot tell you how wonderful it makes me feel adding this 

"ORANGE" PoP-Of-CoLoR 

in the dead of winter!!!  

ChiPPy-WHiTe 

ViNtaGe Nail Barrel

Filled with twigs, pinecones, dried orange slices & vintage birds...

ViNtaGe *Spun-Cotton* BiRdiE

Dried Orange Slices...

Using an *Old-SHaBBy* Chippy-White Ladder as an anchor piece,

created a lot of  "air-space" - lending a much cleaner/less busy look ~ especially after the holidays.  Adding some "Dark Mink Fur Balls, Mini Lights, & Candles, added just the right balance of Winter & FreShness I was looking for...

Stay Safe *Out-There*!!!

Better Times are Around the Corner!!!

Hoping... Wishing... 

to get some ChiPPy-SHaBBy SHOW DATES

on this ~*2021*~ Calendar!!!!!
