Vignette # 4 for Roses and rust vintage market in boise Sept. 26 anad 27th

 Working on a black and white vignette...will be back with it completed...we got side tracked and ran off to an estate to shop. Got some great stuff.

 adding sheet music to the vignettes as they apply to the themes

 I'll be creating a fall vignette soon

 I came across this sign today...what does it mean...kind of like it's all about the right timing?

This reminded me of my daughter and her two little girls...so I had to purchase it at the estate also and because I'm not good at holding things until Christmas...she will get it soon.  Isnt it sweet. It's very delicate.

Vignette # 3 Movie star themed



Lights. camera. action!  This vignette has not been named...but its movie star style with camera's . crystal jewelry. costume jewelry. glamour furs, chandaliers etc.


I will complete these vignettes...it may take until I get them put up at the show...but they will be named and fun!

Vignette #2...What ever happened to BABY JANE

 For the boise roses and rust show...a baby and woman themed vignette...being named as I type.
I would have named it What ever happened to baby jane...but we'll see what the fbook friends chose.
Baby doll, photos, jewlery, white pop beads, chalkboards.

 This mirrored wall hanging is neat in antique gold, filled with all kinds of fun creams, silver, gold, off white, touches of pinks and blues.

 Wasn't it betty davis who played in that movie?





 I purchased some new vintage jewelry over the weekend...excited to get it out for halloween season.

Vintage is so fun to use for your holidays...heck...you don't even have to buy commercial products to create
scary. haunted. creepy. just collect some of your things and start creating!

Vignette the HONEYMOONERS...I'll send you to the MOON Alice!

 For the Roses and Rust show in Boise I am putting together vignettes on fbook and having the followers
give them a name, preferably Halloween related.

 This one is the HONEYMOONERS...with Ralph (Jackie Gleason) and Alice his wife.
He was always going to "SEND ALICE TO THE MOON"  a famous saying of his.

 Jackie was short and round...figured he could use some medication..probably smelled like Old spice.
Alice was the housewife...she did all the work. cooking. cleaning etc...Ralph got to go to work and play.

 This vignette is mostly black, white, creams with touches of reds and blues. This vignette has been
tweaked since it got its name...I will display it at the event and post the final display after the show.
Will show a photo of people on the MOON digging in the dirt...looking for ALICE!

 Tea dying crochet tablecloths and spreads and doilies for the "aged" look.

Kathys in Creams and touch of patina

 Created for Kathy S. she came in today and we picked out and created some vintage fun for her new living room...she loves shades of cream with a little patina golds. this is one side of the jar filled with milk glass cups, vintage gloves, buttons.
 This is the backside with the old shakers with patina lids... she called and said they worked perfectly!

 Apothacary jar with scrabble and a birdnest tied on top, off to the side a heavy glass frog.

Took a 40's birdcage and filled with 9 big spools of crochet threads in off whites, stacked some more
in various sizes and shades, added two milk glass teacups filled them with old bobbin with thread and cream buttons. tied the top with a thread bundle and old sissors!
our favorite!


 This is an old glass pedestal with etching, A vintage tatted lace collar tied on it sideways.
she added a glass frog to put alongside some of her home decor.

 This old black stack of books bundled with a lovely piece of crochet tea dyed.
On top for some height is a clear glass jar filled with wooden words dice.

 Kathy has a twin sister...kristi. She bought his piece for her door for the fall season...they are
produce farmers in centerville.   Love these girls!
