RetroBabs Vintage

Fabulous finds from the Vesties team on Etsy.    From cocktail dresses to cat eye glasses this is a fun collection- Let's celebrate Fashion Week!

I made a Treasury on Etsy for a Vesties Team Challenge. It is a fun collection of white garden items, some are vintage and some handmade. I love using vintage items in the garden as sculpture, as planters and as shabby chic junk decor. Our team gives us a weekly challenge to make a treasury list off a theme they designate. I think I captured this weeks challenge beautifully if I do say so myself! Here in my own garden I use structure and art to enhance my garden. A blue morning glory trails up a post. A handmade votive lantern designed with wire and beads. Bec's wedding was a great garden Party. As far as garden structure we used a recycled trampoline frame for the wedding Chuppa/Gazebo that they were married under. Let me know what vintage items or recycled products you use in your garden. I would love to hear from you.

Here is a new Treasury list I made on Etsy. It is for the challenge "garden junque" theme of the Vesties Team. I made it because I love to decorate my garden with ornaments. I use anything from copper buckets to cast iron statues, from bird baths to bird houses. I am afraid I got started on the bird house thing from my Dad. He was a wood worker and gave all his daughters bird houses. I think he gave me nine! Dad has been gone for almost nine years now and the houses still survive. A little paint and cleaning every year makes them habitable for our feathered friends. Enjoy this treasury and let me know if you garden as I do. Remember, one mans junk is another mans treasure! It's called: A little bird told me it's all cast and copper. Here is a photo of my favorite bird house. A gift from my husband. Notice how it looks like my house. He made it to scale as best he could and used the same paint and shingles! Love it- Thanks Honey! The first picture ...
