A Little Vintage Christmas...Booth

For over a year now,

I have been aiming for a Booth, in our small town

'Silver Fox Antique Store'

Even tho the town is small,

this place has a sound reputation

so people come from the city, to shop!

3 weeks ago, a smaller space became available.

some bigger spaces had come and gone...

but finally, I was at a place were I thought

I could be ready in 3 weeks.

Yesterday, I set up my booth.

and YES I call it 

'L'ame de la vie'

(The beautiful Soul of life)

because I love taking something old...

and making it new again...

and old pieces, have such a cozy wonderful feel...

the feel of a different Era..when life seemed...well

Simpler.

The Vintage wreath was so fun to create.

The lil Vintage deer, was not in perfect condition,

but he won me over!

I used Vintage lace, and a 1920's scarf is tied at the bottom.

also vintage balls and ornaments.

Pine cones and Vintage Christmas cards.

just looking at it...takes me back.

My big pieces are a Gun cabinet and a girls desk set!

and I made signs...I love love the big mantel sign

'True love was Born in a Stable'

The lil desk, was  roll top, without a roll top

below is the before pic

As I work on a piece..thing's sometimes change,

and I embellish more then I originally thought I would.

I made a built in chalk board, and added a lil valance.

The chair is wonderful in that it was all rounded and curved wood.

I added a Vintage chenille seat.

I know my grand daughters fell in love with this set.

I wonder at the girl, who will one day use it.

The gun Cabinet needed some work...

Silly me forgot to take a before pic...

so this is a pic, in the process off :)

And here is is after

 this Gun cabinet also has lighting in it :)

As I was moving thing's in, the owner and another lady, kept saying

'Peggy, are you sure that is going to fit'

YES, if there is  will there is a way!

I fell in love with the Yellow standing Vintage lamp...I painted

the stand Yellow to match the shade.

I think it will make a wonderful

colorful, accent piece in the perfect spot!

Some of the smaller goodies in my Booth.

I had allot of fun...making this lamp

RED...

I wanted all colors...so thing's 

could go with all decors...

 A little Yellow vintage shelf, is tucked away behind the lamp

It is not a big space, But I think

we popped the color

into this area. Don't you agree?

and it's a Start!

How is your Christmas decorating, gift making and buying going?

can I be honest? really honest?

I have not bought or made one thing,

 for my huge family...nothing, nada...

OH MY!

I best get on all that....very soon!

thanks for stopping by!
