Vintage French Newspapers

What have I been doing lately, you ask?  Okay you didn't but I'm telling you anyway.  I've been working on our antique store The Roost.  I just realized that I never really talk about it on my blog!  I did some succulent gardens in vintage containers last weekend. ( Those are gorgeous French Crochet bed or tablecloths in the chairs)

I love how they turned out.  A vintage silver serving dish with an old crumb tray to embellish it.

These are some of the religious things that I've started taking there.  St. Theresa statue, some holy water fonts and a beautiful Infant of Prague statue.  Notice how I've blurred the background?  There's a manly vintage sign place across the aisle.  She looked like St Teresa patron saint of motor oil. lol   Next time I'll hold up one of those French tablecloths!

These Vintage French Newspapers sell so fast it's unbelievable.  Last night they were gone out of my Etsy store, The Vintage Roost,  an hour after I listed them. 

Fortunately I still have a few more.

I absolutely adore these little clothespins.  They're tiny little things and are old, old and brand new at the same time…old store stock.  Actually, they're probably old factory stock made to include with doll clothes for the Ginny Dolls.

Anyway, I've packaged them in packages of 10 with the cutest vintage picture of a little girl hanging out her doll clothes.

They'll hold paper to a line or string and I think I'm going to make a spring banner with these holding each letter.  They would be so cute  holding the grandkids artwork, too.  Hmm….that might be a ready made banner!

So that's what I've been up to – what's new in your neck of the woods????  xoxo Nancy
