Vintage Props for Wedding Receptions/Showers/Staging...

I am thinking about making available for rental vintage pieces such as vintage chandeliers, vintage sofas/loveseats, french chairs, old shutters and doors! These are great to use for bridal photo shoots, wedding reception photo booths, wedding showers and more! I am scheduled to stage these items at a bridal shoot later this month and hope to start posting the items on the blog maybe late May or early June!

How cute would this be for engagement photos! Photos from littleloveables.blogspot.com

Switchplate Covers

This is an order I just did for a customer - these are single switch switchplate covers - these iron covers can be painted the color of your choice and adds a small decorative touch to your home by replacing these for the boring standard ones! If you are interested in single or double switchplate covers, just email!

Diana's Booth

I forgot to include pictures of Diana's booth at Encore the other day - her booth is on the other side of mine and she has great items!

T-Shirts for Tornado Relief - Alabama/Auburn and Sweet Home Alabama

My sister's friend, Jane Lazenby, is an artist and is making these adorable Alabama/Auburn cross t-shirts and donating a portion to tornado relief. Her website is gracieandco.com and you can also go to her facebook page - Jane Lazenby. These are the crosses on the t-shirts!

Gracefully Vintage

I had a comment today on one of my posts and it was from Karryann who has a blog called Gracefully Vintage (gracefullyvintage.blogspot.com). I went to her blog and was so glad I found her site - she is a shop owner in California and her style is everything I love! Here are some pics from her blog and I'm also adding her to the blog list!





Her storefront




She shows some amazing before and afters of transformations of these vintages sofas and settees.
