After working on my Silver Bella things all Summer, it finally came to me the style of decorating and crafting that I adore. Carol Spinski~Embellisher Of Vintage Goods~My self titled description of taking old and sometimes new decor and re purposing them into ornamental fun. I am not sure why it took me so long to figure out that when I go to auctions, estates sales, flea markets and antique stores I tend to go for the obscure or rusty item just so I can redo it and save it's beauty. My mind is constantly thinking of ways to use a vintage item in an unexpected way. Many of you have emailed me about offering for sale more of the vintage camera box vignette's. I will be making more and offering them for sale on the blog and in February on our website. I have lot's of ideas and in the coming months I will be sharing with you some of my embellishments.This first idea is very simple but a way to showcase those old Christmas bulbs and trims.
Taking from my stash of old and blurry glass bottles, I placed two 1940's Christmas light bulbs to use as bottle toppers.
Pink faded strand weaved through and dripping out of an old silver cup and snowy house on top.
Another old bottle capped with a vintage pearl white Christmas bulb.
Hope you have a great weekend, I will be working at the Shop. Next week I will be posting pictures of the Shop as we ready for our Christmas Open House~
