An Old Twist on Shopping at Home!

Not finding what you're looking for at your local antique shop?  Try going online. 


 
 

We currently have our eyes on this adorable little vintage bread cabinet, available at The Petite Market.






Jody, owner of The Petite Market, really has an eye for beautiful old things.  We just love her shop! 

 












Check back early next week for a new post about table skirts, and why you don't have to use them!

For Cards, Think Inside the Box . . . or Suitcase . . .

Rather than using the traditional birdcage for cards, Kristy found a rustic old box, with lots of patina and charm.  We decided we needed to announce it's purpose, so we aged some chipboard letters for the label. 





















We think this cute little suitcase would work perfectly to hold cards for a baby shower, Christening, or even a wedding.
 




Reimagining something as simple as an old box or sweet little suitcase can help create the perfect feel for your event.
