Getting in the Sprit.

 

It is that time of year again. Time for lefse making, cookie decorating, and eating large amounts of food. But in the small business world it means making money. We have to start early on the holiday grind. At Hello the House I have started to revamp my space into a funky winter wonderland. I want to stand out and be the space to come to for fun and unconventional décor. I have hand dyed over 70 bottle brush trees and made adorable vintage cars into "traveling" snow globes.

 

I just love how these little winter scenes turned out and I am bound to make more. Looking forward to the weekend as the start of the official shopping season and big traffic at the store. I am anxious to see how sales are and what everyone is finding at the shop. It isn't the reason for the season but in the cycle of the dollar my art and crafts being sold help me and my family pay the bills and enjoy our holiday as well. Cheers to all.

The 2 day Motherload

I have had such good luck lately that I don't want to say it out loud, typing it doesn't count right? Set of four tin containers from the 70's with super funky labels on them.

Amazing 60's ice bucket with silver lid and handle.

Vintage Golden Dawn, by JCPenney wool blanket in fairly good condition, just obsessed with vintage wool lately.

1973 copy of Vogue sewing and some new kicks for $7

A ton of crocheted hangers.... who knew wire hangers could look so cute? I have always wanted to do this but, this is better, someone else did them and enjoyed them and then passed them on to me. A leather stamp purse, Hecho en Mexico. A hooked rug piece made in Venezuela.

A sweet bulldog and brass eagle hanging , that as I type has been transformed to purple and is drying in the garage. I feel like I am missing something. I came away with so many remarkable pieces today, full of history and life. I am excited to transform them, admire them, brag about them, share them, sell them, and continue their stories in my home.
