Vintage Cyber Sales this Weekend

We all know about Black Friday shopping deals,

and here in blogland I'm doing the same.

Starting today thru the weekend,

I'm having a 15% off sale

 over at the Etsy Shop.

Just type in thanks1125 at checkout.

This is a new tool at Etsy,

 so there should be a place for Promotion Code.

Let me know if you experience any problems or have questions.

And also my two sweet friends,

 Polly from the French Cupboard

and Jami from

Freckled Laundry

(click on Vintage Market)

are having Holiday Sales, too.

So drop by their Black Friday Shopping Events,

browse the shops,

and get a jump on your Christmas shopping!

The Turkeys are Restless...

Since Thanksgiving is this week

 I thought I'd better share the "Hall Sideboard",

if I am going to do it.

This is by far my most favorite place in the house to decorate.
(is most favorite grammatically correct?)

(OK, so you know what I mean)

And since next week all the turkeys will fly the coop,

and the little sugar houses will start to appear,

here's the Thanksgiving edition.

My fingers are itchin' to grab those sugar houses!!

I'm linking up with these wonderful parties:

Show Off Your Cottage Monday

Metamorphosis Monday

                                       

Table Top Tuesday

And White Wednesday

Have a great week

I'll see you Friday for:

love,

How to Spell "Dumb": An UPdate!

OK, that would be me...I guess I need to learn not to do something when I'm tired, because I make silly mistakes. Point in fact; last night when I did the party button for the Christmas Parties in December for Vintage Inspiration Friday, I left off the "S" in "designs". So all of you sweet people that grabbed the button, I have redone it so you can actually get my correct blog address. duh...

So sorry for the confusion...

this is the correct one.

Now back to our scheduled programming...

love y'all.

Debra

Vintage Inspiration Friday #12 Jewelry Inspired By the Past

Hi Everyone, it's

Vintage Inspiration Friday!

I've always been inspired by antique and vintage jewelry.

I love the unique materials and craftmanship...

one of a kind vintage beauty.

I have several old heirloom family pieces of jewelry that I wear frequently.

But when I discovered that I could put together pieces that were old

with newer and vintage elements...

I found my heart's desire.

I've been adding several items to my Etsy Shop for Christmas giving.

And I've re-done a few of the pendants and added chains to them;

new prices and photos to share.

Rosary beads and chains married for an elegant and vintage look.

Strands of pearls and vintage chains...

crowns and crosses

puffy heart lockets with my signature keys

I also have new medals that can be added to the vintage key pendants...

St. Jude

St. Rita

St. Ann

St. Agatha

St. Raphael

Our Lady of Lourdes

Miraculous Medal

St. Francis of Assisi

Holy Ghost Medal

St. Joan of Arc

and St. Christopher Medals

Just email me or convo me at Etsy for something just for you,

and we'll design something special.

Thank you, to each one of you who has let one of my designs

find it's way into your heart.

Hope you'll join in for

Vintage Inspiration Friday

love,

Debra

White Wednesday at the Seed Box Open House

You know how when you receive a box

 of mouth watering chocolates,

that you don't know where to start,

or which one to enjoy first?

Well, I went to

 The Seed Box

Christmas Open House

last Saturday and let me tell you,

It's like a box of Godiva Chocolates.

So I'll have to spread the sweetness out over a little while...

so we don't go into overload!!

This is Brian and Meloney Russell's house in Chadwick, Missouri.

...Yes, it's where they live.

If you don't know Meloney and Brian then come for a visit

at their blog,

The Seed Box Antiques

Some of you have had questions...

I write the posts and publish the blog for Mel and Brian...

A lot of the photos Meloney takes and sends to me,

and some like these, I have taken at their Open Houses.

They read the comments,

and answer the emails.

I just post the blog for them.

Those of you who attend the Texas Shows know them.

They set up usually at Cole's during Antique Week.

Remember that you can click twice on the image for a close up view.

Each vignette and arrangement is a work of art.

I have more posts about my visit,

and I'll be sharing other photos on The Seed Box blog.

So for now, please run by and say Hello,

then be sure and visit with Kathleen and all the other "Whities"

over at Faded Charm for White Wednesday.

stay tuned for more Seed Box goodies..

Love,

Debra
