A European Christmas....

Joyeux Noël and God Jul!! This year at The Vintage-Flea we wanted to have a European Christmas theme with timeless French and Scandinavian accessories.

European Christmas Mosaic Titled Winter White So to help our vision, we found Etsy Artist Petit Coterie

and her amazing French Burlap & Muslin Pillows.

"Fais de Beaux Reves" means sweet dreams in French.

Many design choices are available but not very many pillows... hope to see you soon!

Paper Joy

A holiday decorating idea to pass along to you... paper wreaths. We have been getting so many compliments lately on our wreath by the front door and skirt on the mannequin!! I wanted to share with you...

and you can do it too with books for only $1.00 at The Flea.

Many pages were torn out of our lawyers books.. (I know some of you don't like to ruin a good book but these are LAW books we're talking about) They were then rolled up and the ends were stapled to a piece of thick cardstock in a circle pattern. Layering as you go. These were are inspirations...

This last one is from an Etsy artist called SimpleJoysPaperie. Her wreaths are truley amazing and start at $50.

Want to make ornaments instead of wreaths?? Here is a great tutorial that my pal Jenni found from ColorFlyStudio. Happy Crafting!!

Happy Halloween weekend!! Looks like another rainy weekend for us here in Atlanta but that won't stop our trick or treat fun. First off we will have our Trick or Treat on the Square from 10am-12noon today on mainstreet. Nancy will be dressed as Charlie Chaplin and I will be dressed as a vintage Candy Striper. Do you have a costume yet for this fun weekend ahead?? I wish I had found this artist sooner!! Thanks Alyn Carlson, now I know what I should be doing with all my junk mail.
Check out her website, shop, and more of her hats!

That Yummy Smell.....

What's that yummy smell?? We hear that quite a bit at The Vintage-Flea. We burn a candle everyday.. switching them up here and there so that our customers can experience a new scent. But this weekend we didn't have a candle burning, instead we had yummy apple cider brewing...

...and brewing, and brewing. Well I guess ya'll liked it according to the sales of it.

I don't blame you, the mulling spices are the best from the Aspen Mulling Company. Just add a box of mulling spices to 1 gallon of apple juice for a delicious treat. Available at the Flea are the Original Aspen Mulling Spices, Caramel Apple Spice Blend, and Chai Spice Blend for $4.00 each. The chocolate fudge mix is also available for only $6.00!! What a perfect gift for the holidays.

New shipment alert... we just got in 12 boxes of Spiced Pumpkin Mix and 12 boxes of Cranberry Orange Mix. These mixes are great for baking muffins and breads for the holidays.
