Our Work

Tiny Treasures

I love to include vintage items in our Christmas decor.

Sometimes they are decorations or serving-ware that has been passed down and other times they are trinkets that have been found.

These tiny spoons were found in a box of souvenir spoons that I had acquired last year. 

I was actually going to sell them as a set but my boys didn't want to part with them. They are perfect for stirring hot chocolate and eating marshmallows.

Maybe one day, they will become a piece of Christmas magic that the boys will want for themselves.

Recent Custom Work

I thought I would post a few pictures of 

recent custom work we have done.

I don't blog often as I find it quicker and easier

to pop a photo up on Facebook or Instagram.

But for those of you not on all the 

social media outlets, I will share some photos here ;)

Please join us over on Instagram and Facebook

Airloom Art

We are very pleased to share with you

photos of our first batch of 'Airloom Art'.

 

These wind-chimes had been on our 'to-do' list 

for awhile now, and we love how our first collection turned out.

We created each piece using a combination of silver-plate hollow-ware, vintage chandelier crystals, Swarovski crystals and even a little bit of gemstones and copper.

They are all made by hand and one of a kind.

In celebration we held a little photo-shoot in the backyard.

We used a great collection of vintage linens that my mother-in-law had given me to create a romantic tee-pee setting. While we showcased the hanging art outdoors, they certainly look captivating indoors as well.

 

 

We will share our other three styles in the next post. 

Thank you for stopping by! And yes they are available for purchase.

Creating a Canvas

So it is proving more challenging than I thought to be

posting more regularly on here. 

I am in the habit of loading pics more often via 

Facebook and Instagram.

Oh well, I am here now so here we go.

 

We are finally going to tackle the home office in May!

I have moved both boys into one bedroom and will be transforming the other bedroom into an organized, inspirational space. 

My dining room has been overrun for far too long!

We have narrowed it down to the paint colors above. 

I am leaning towards the Mauve Morning on the right as the room is north-facing and reads cooler.

The room is going to be feminine with a touch of glam. 

White painted antique cabinets, a vintage farm table as a desk, a vintage crystal chandelier and of course lots of vintage silver.

Inspired Vintage Valentine's

Taking a cue from the past, we created these Valentine's spoons based on the sayings found on vintage Valentine's cards.

Yuletensils

Well, it has been a while since we last posted. 

We apologize for our absence but promise it has been worth the wait.

We are so pleased to say that you can now purchase '...and then again' products at Barefoot Contessa. Headed there very soon are our Christmas items seen in the photos below.

Our hanging bud vase reinterpreted as a Christmas ornament. 

Charming heritage souvenir spoons. Amazing detail on each one.

Reworked flatware handles hanging from black satin ribbon now resemble icicles.

Large teardrop, vintage chandelier crystals with a little embellishment.

 Perfect for your tree, we also wanted to show that these ornaments can be used in other ways as well. 

 Create a one of a kind heirloom wreath.

Gift beautiful presents.  

So precious, the recipient will want to admire it before they unwrap it.

We had so much fun putting together our little photo shoot and hope it inspired you to add a little bit of vintage, handmade and local to your Christmas.
