I Told You We'd Make It Work!

When you have friends like Pipka, Diane at the Spa at Sacred Grounds, certain fashionistas, and foodies, a tiny seed of an idea can turn into a fabulous idea.
Champagne reception, dancing, creating, noshing, luxuriating and just some plain old fashioned girl time.
Details to follow in a few days.
Registration is limited and only fun people are allowed... if you're not fun forget it.

Warm Wishes and An Invitation for Some Winter Fun!

Yes, I am here on New Year's Day just working away.

However, I don't mind because just when I get a little down in the mouth about facing the winter, the shop being a little slim on inventory and nothing creative to look forward to, a little light bulb goes off!

And guess what? I've come up with and idea to make a February weekend into a ladies weekend full of wonderful things to do!

If you haven't guessed by now, I do my best work at the last minute.

Some might go running for the hills when faced with a project this large and just around the corner, but not me... bring it!

As of Tuesday, I will have more things nailed down and will fill you in, but let me leave you with this little teaser...

Friday evening Vintage Market with luminaries, wine, food and fabulous shopping,

Saturday, Zumba, art projects, spa treatments, catered lunches, more art and capping off the evening with a formal dance... which means we're getting dolled up and dancing. I may pull out that formal I've never worn, or I may make myself a paper dress to wear... hey, best prize for most unique dancing duds!

So while I'm watching the snow and 35mph winds, I'm all warm and toasty dreaming of the fun we're gonna have, just around the corner!

Vintage Nest Holiday Market

Good Morning!
I finally put up the pictures from our Vintage Holiday Market.
These are before we were open. I leaned from our last event, there is just no time for picture taking!
We opened Friday, had some nice sales, saw lots of old friends, but Saturday was just hopping in the shop and we were very busy.
Thanks to all of you who came to our little show.
It sure put me in the holiday spirit.Small Town Vintage

I loved this little bottle creation on the left, but it was nabbed before I could get to it.

In a Hay Stack.

Check out the pin on the hat, it says "Door County Winter Sports".

I usually let customers have first crack at the vintage goodies, but have to admit I grabbed this coat right off the bat from Katie of Small Town Vintage. I look FABULOUS in it, now where to wear it? I suppose the Pig.

Jeanine of Chippy Shabby popped in to see us. With Carol (In a Hay Stack) gathering a treasure.
She and her husband are always very supportive of our store and shows, it's always fun to catch up and see what's what in the vintage hunt world. She always has unique items.

Look at these darling skates.
Hope you enjoyed the pictures.
I love our events.
From the big Vintage Market we have outside every July, to the smaller more intimate shows inside the shop. There's great treasure hunting, inspiring ideas, lots of laughing and chatter, and we always end the day with great stories and new friends.

Checking In!

First of all, my computer is not wanting to download my pictures, hence the lack of posts.
I have some great pictures to show you from the Vintage Nest Holiday Market.
My thinking is that if I can get them up before Christmas, you'll at least be inspired by them and possibly want to translate a few of our ideas into your own home.

It's been a while since I have really decked out my own house for the holidays.
We have the shop holiday'd up by the end of October, and frankly by the time it's time to decorate my own home, I'm over it!

This year I refuse to be lazy... and have out done myself, if I do say so myself.
I have taken pictures and will post them by Friday, I promise!
In the meanwhile, I have been feeding my addiction to Pinterest,
(hey, get on there, follow me and I'll follow you)
and thought I'd leave you with this.
