Get Off My Lawn Vintage

Why???? Other people have workrooms🤣

I’m not sure how I’m feeling right now other than relieved it’s a super nice day and one of these spindle legs is mostly complete 🙄

This was a fast one but I did get to use the bolt cutters, which is always a treat🤣 I’m taking an old piece of wire fencing to make a grid for my booth. My plan is to hang it upside down in the center of my tent and attach paintings on both sides so you can walk around it. I’ll be testing the theory at the ART market at Federated Charities Frederick on June 13th 🤞🤞

My tiny desk project is off to the races fueled by coffee and tape fumes🤣🤣🤣

I need a small space desk (what I actually need is a comfortable chair in my workspace and my beloved has a chair in our office that is terribly uncomfortable…but he loves it). Today is a great weather day to get started on a remake of a wee area in my guest room: big enough for a tablet and pencil cup. Follow along as I undertake my least favorite task, refinishing furniture🤣

It would be easy to think these days that humans are merely destructive and petty but the simple ingenuity of someone pressing paper pulp into a form and coming out with a beautiful Florentine-style, papier mache tray is amazing to me.

According to Wikipedia, “Florentine papier-mâché plates are crafted by layering damp paper or pulp into molds, followed by meticulous hand-gilding, painting with Renaissance motifs, and sealing. These lightweight, decorative display pieces rely on classic artisan techniques passed down for centuries by craftspeople in Florence,” I have collected quite a few of them over the years probably because this level of mad skillz far exceeds anything I’ve ever made with papier mache (consisting entirely of puppet heads and a large dog 🤣🤣🤣)

I’m not usually drawn to blue glassware but I couldn’t resist these roly poly highballs m, particularly after I put them on this sweet dresser cloth, which might have come from my mother in law’s house. Culinary school taught me that blue isn’t a natural food color but that doesn’t mean you can’t use blue serveware…you do you😉

I'm excited to be a vintage art vendor at this market. We're going to be right on Market Street!-)

📍22 South Market Street

We're super excited to bring back our ART 🎨market for a second year on our patio. We've got some great vendors lined up so stay tuned!

Don’t know who needs to hear this but that hurdle you’re trying to cross? You’ve got this.

Happy Tuesday my vintage loving friends ❤️

We all have our weaknesses…mine is mid-century planters. Here’s a few I picked up on my trip to NY. What you may not realize, until you try it, is that one or two of those small market pack flowers at the garden center generally thrive pretty well in one of these if you give it the right care. Boom, instant flower garden😊🌸
