{Repurposed: Window}

It's Wednesday my dears.  And I couldn't be more tickled about it...as my family arrives from Florida today ~ YIPPEE!!!!!! I haven't seen them in over 7 months, which is way too long for me ;-)  So if you are looking for me...I'm the one playing lots of hooky the next two weeks!  Oh, I will still be posting daily here...but I will be spending every second that I can squeeze in hugging and kissing and sniffing on my niece and nephew.  Hehe.

Okay, enough about me and on with this post.  Today's repurposed post is something I am sure lots (if not all) of you have seen before, however there is something a bit different about it.  Have a look~see at this window with guests seating assignment (escort area)...

Did you notice it?  Okay, take another look if you didn't, I'll wait ;-)
 .........................hint ~ look at where the lock latch is.................................... 

Yes, it's on it's side! If it wasn't on it's side it would be much shorter...so I do like how it's turned on it's side

I adore this window, as I have two just like it...yep with the little feet as I call them and all.  However, I think mine has bit more chippy paint, but still the same.  I also LOVE the fact that they didn't write names in all of the panes!  And I adore the simple wood piece holding it up.

All in all ~ a fabulous window display, no?

{Make Over: Camping Stool}

Hi lovelies!  I have a cute little post for you today ;-)  I am LOVING the 'Make Over' of this camping stool...

Seriously, how cute is this?  A super duper quick way to give a camping stool a 'Make Over' ~ just add some fabric or a crocheted piece and viola!

{Inventory Inspiration: Doilies}

Hi loves!  So sorry I am running behind today.  However, I have a lovely 'Inventory Inspiration' post for you to try and make up for it ;-)

I LOVE doilies.  I have a huge collection of them in my inventory.  Have a look~see at just a teeny tiny sampling of what I have...

I love the different textures, materials, and shades of white, cream and beige.  Each and every one of them is fabulous in their own way!

Now let's have a look at our inspiration, shall we?  Here are the doilies that were used...

And here is how they were inspired to use them...

To adorn a cake table!  I'm over the moon about this darling and simple idea.  The doilies add just the perfect amount of softness to the wood table without being too much.  And I love how the detail on the cake looks like a doily.  All so fabulous, no?

{Inventory Inspiration: Three Tiered Metal Shelf}

Thank Goodness It's Friday ;-)  And to wrap up this week, I thought I would post this sweet 'Inventory Inspiration.'  Have a look~see at the inventory...

A darling three tiered cream metal shelf that I snatched up the second I saw it.  I knew there would lots of ways to use this piece...the first one coming to mind when I first saw it was to use it to hold cupcakes.  However, I am loving this sweet inspiration...

To hold toppings for an ice cream bar - yes, please!  Such a fabulous idea, don't you think?

Wishing you a wonderful weekend.  While I know I will be crafting away and getting things organized this weekend - I am hoping that you lovelies are out having some fun, enjoying the sunshine and having some ice cream ;-)  Maybe I'll just take my projects outside and work on them...that's sounds like a lovely plan, and a frozen yogurt sounds quite good too.  Oh with chocolate sprinkles of course!

{Fizz & Frills}

Hi loves!  Do you remember me hinting at something yesterday?  Well this is it...

Over The Moon Vintage Rentals (aka me...hehe) is going to be a vendor at Fizz & Frills for both days, and I couldn't be more elated about it!  I kept debating about applying to be a vendor for my homemade items...but finally I took the leap and applied.  And now I am so glad I did as this will be my first event ;-)

I will be selling and taking orders for my homemade custom designs.  I have been a busy little bee trying to get ready for this event, and have created some new homemade items that I can't wait to share with you once the event is over.  I will make sure to get pictures of all items and upload them into the 'Homemade' section.

There will be lots of Fizz & Frills, and other vendors as well so you DON'T WANT TO MISS THIS!  Make sure to get your tickets HERE!!!  And I will see you there...can't wait to say 'hi' ;-)

{Purchase Peek: Aqua Kettle}

I am sorry my dears for getting this post up soooo late!  Eeks.  I'm also sorry for the bad picture that I took on my iphone to send to my mom so she could see what I was talking about when I was on the phone with her...and never had any intention of sharing this picture with all you.  I will take another later this afternoon when I get back home, and replace the bad one...but I did want to share with you this darling little kettle that I picked up yesterday, and get this post up before nightfall!  So here she is...

See told you - bad picture.  Ugh, sorry.  And I didn't even show you the handle - which is sooo dang cute too.  Double ugh!

I picked up this kettle not only for the color (matches OTM's color perfectly) but a little something I have up my sleeve!  I just found out about it yesterday, and I will be able to share more with you very soon.  Until then just picture all the lovely things that you could do with this kettle ;-)

Ooh did I tell you that I have seen all the pages of OTM's new website site and blog?  You bet your buttons I did and I have to say I am OVER THE MOON about them all!  They are heading to coding soon, and am looking forward to the day I can finally share with all of you ;-)

{Star of the Week: Star Quilt}

Hi loves!  Happy Tuesday to you.  I have been quite starry-eyed the last couple of days, so I thought the 'Star of the Week' should actually include stars!  Which made my 'Star of the Week' pick super easy (just like my 'Styling Tip' below...hehe).  Have a look-see at my star quilt...

I love all the colors and pattern of this quilt.  And I know most people would rent a quilt(s) for an engagement shoot, a picnic inspiration shoot, for additional seating on the grass, to cover hay bails or to cover a table...and while I love them used in all of these ways, I also love them used in another way!

Styling Tip:  Use a vintage quilt for a photo booth backdrop!  It's super duper easy and quick ;-)

And fabulous idea, no?

{Styled: Wood Crate}

Happy Monday my dears!  Did everyone have a fabulous weekend?  Me - well my birthday was yesterday, so my weekend was just lovely ;-)  And my sister's birthday is today so....HAPPY BIRTHDAY sissy!!!

I just had to post this picture today for you, as it really shows that wood crates can be used in a variety of ways...

As a welcome area, cake table, escort area, favor holder, or just as decoration...lots of ways!  And they are all fabulous, no?

{Star of the Week: Step Stool}

Don't let this little guy fool you...

There are lots of darling ways in which to use this step stool!  So here are some styling tips for you ;-)

Styling Tips:  This step stool is perfect atop a table to use in a variety of ways.  First, with escort cards hanging from the steps.  Just use a push pin and some ribbon or twine so they hand down and voila ~ the perfect escort holder.  Second, to hold cupcakes or sweet treats on the dessert table looks cute.  Third, use on the welcome table to hold some fabulous details and flowers.  And fourth, use on the bar to hold the drink signs, or even glasses on the steps!

So many ways in which to use.  However, there are lots of other ways to use as well...not atop a table ;-)

{Styled: Mismatched China}

Happy Wednesday darlings!  We are halfway through the week already, can you believe it?  Eeks ~ in two weeks from today my family arrives from Florida...WOOHOO!!!  There is NOTHING like having your family around ;-)  Okay, enough chatter out of me!

I am loving the use of mismatched china here...

What I love about this table decor is that while the china is mismatched and vintage, the silverware and glasses are not...yet it works beautifully, wouldn't you agree?  A perfect example on how to mix old and new ;-)

I know ~ not the best picture, but I was just so thrilled to get them that I snapped a quick picture with my iPhone and wanted to share.  (I am loving the Instagram app!)  Also, I couldn't decide which back to go with...so I went 50/50!  I am just that option kinda girl ;-)

{Inventory Inspiration: Food Mill}

Happy Monday my dears.  Goodness, I really am running so far behind today...please forgive me ;-)  However, I do have a lovely 'Inventory Inspiration' post for your today.  Have a look~see at my food mill...

Such a simple piece.  However don't let that fool you, because now have a look~see at this inspiration...

{Styled: Oil Lamps}

Ahhhh Friday at last!  Yowza, what a week this has been.  Oh that's a good yowza by the way ;-)  Just busy, busy, busy.  However, I did get some great news today - my business cards for Over The Moon were mailed on Wednesday (so they should be arriving very soon), and OTM's website is going to coding in two weeks ~ WEEEEEE!  I am squealing with delight...kind of like the pig in the Geico commercial going weeeeeeee all the way home!  OMGoodness, if you haven't seen it click here...weeeeee.

Okay, now that I got that outta my system I can get to this post.  Earlier in the week I posted the 'Star of the Week' which were oil lamps.  And I also told you I would be using them in a little photo shoot of a table design that I was putting together ~ well here they are...

Not the best picture of the oil lamps ~ I know!  To see more of pictures head on over to my wedding blog, Luna and Chloe Weddings, at noon today when I will be posting a couple more pictures.

Wishing you my dears the most wonderful weekend ;-))  Hopefully you will squeal in delight yourselves this weekend!

{Styled: Wooden Crates}

One of my fave ways to use wooden crates...

As a cake stand, of course ;-)  Eeks ~ and do you see the custom labels?  Interwined...are you serious?  LOVE it!

Styling Tip:  You can always use one of the crates on a table for the cake too, and it would look just as fabulous.

{Star of the Week: Oil Lamps}

Well my 'Star of the Week' choice was a no brainer for me this week!  Why, you ask?  Well, all week long on my wedding blog, Luna and Chloe Weddings, I am recreating a table design using these lovelies...

So please pop on over to Luna and Chloe Weddings everyday this week to see the recreation process and just how lovely these look on a table!  The finished table will be posted on Friday...so at the very least check back then to see them in action ;-)

{Inventory Inspiration: Globe}

Well welcome back my dears!  Tell me - was your long holiday weekend spectacular?  Mine was quite lovely as I worked, played and got back into creative mode...which is always a good thing for me...and I guess you too ;-)

Alrighty, let's get on with this post shall we?  This week's inventory item is a vintage globe. I love the aqua, green and pink colors on this globe.  Here have a look~see for yourselves...

Oh so pretty colors, no?  And how about this for your inspiration...

A fabulous line up of different size globes used as an escort area!  Hmm, I wonder where in the world Ella is sitting...

Oh, table no. three!  I LOVE it don't you? 

Leave it up to the oh so talented ladies at Enjoy Events Co. to come up with such a clever idea.

Now this is my kind of red, white and blue...

Oh so pretty, no?  And so easy to recreate - get out those blue mason jars, add some white and red blooms and candles, and viola ~ you're ready to celebrate in style.

Wishing you an amazing 4th of July my dears!  Hope it sparkles ;-)
