Isn't she a beauty? A beautiful french armoire. I was going to repaint her but I just ran out of time. So I brought her up to the shop just the way she was when I found her.

A pretty little velvet upholstered chair topped with a velvet rosette pillow...love it!

Another view of "my girl."

The velvet chair is complimented by a chic little velvet foot stool.

A vintage silver platter makes a great base for black tea lights, topped with a black vintage bird cage.

The spiders are wired on and can be easily removed after Halloween. Attach some different accents and use different tea lights, votives or other seasonal accents and you'll have a new vignette for each holiday.

A vintage silver candelabra with black tapers looks perfectly spooky next to a vintage copper tray and cups. The perfect set up to serve cider on the buffet at your Halloween party.

LOVE THESE! I love vintage bottles...Love 'em even more with fun, vintage style Halloween labels!

Antique, french bisque statues. I think the gryphons give them a gothic flair.

 Bottles with vintage style halloween labels look so cool next to an antique moon mirror.

More way cool Halloween bottles...

...and yet, another

Vintage silver framed mirror reflects an Eiffel Tower statue.

This chair is soooo comfortable. It makes a great resting spot for an antique, silk and chantilly lace parasol

and a vintage hat.

Look! Debbie re-staged my industrial/"mantique" area. It looks "fantabulous" now!

Thanks Debbie!

Sing and Fly Pendants

I was inspired to create my new series of "Sing and Fly" pendants after reading Dore Callaway's

story about her daughter, Hannah.

As a 4 year old, Hannah watched as a wild bird fell to the ground after colliding with a glass door. Hannah ran to the bird and cradled it in her tiny hands, asking it to "sing and fly." As Hannah stroked the tiny bird, it regained it's bearings, recovered from shock and took flight. Hannah was sure that her love had willed the little bird to again, "sing and fly."

Lesson learned...we are all connected.

If we all support and love, encourage and embrace each other, it is easier for us each to

"sing and fly."

So with Dore and Hannah's permission, I present to you three versions of the

"Sing and Fly" hand stamped pendant.

They are hand stamped by "moi" on heavy gauge aluminum. 

I have designed three styles.  A 2" long rectangle style,

a 1 1/4" round style and a 1" round style. Each hangs from a 21" delicate ball chain.

They are $24.00 each (plus $3 shipping/handling). They are available for purchase on my Etsy store. If you would like to contact me for more info about these pendants, custom orders, wholesale orders or my other jewelry creations, you may e-mail me at:

livingstonstreetdecor@verizon.net 

Please be sure to visit Dore's beautiful blog and her  Etsy store.

She is a wonderful artist and you will find her truly inspirational.

Enjoy!

Estate Sale Treasures (with stories and history!)

This weekend I attended a local estate sale. This sale was the kind of sale that makes me tingle all over!! The kind of sale I stay at for hours and don't want to leave. It was at a neat old house by McDaniel College in Westminster. The sale was being held by three brothers who grew up in the house. Their father has passed on and their mother is in an assisted living facility. As I wondered around the house from room to room and picked out items, one of the brothers would tell me stories about the items I was purchasing. I love knowing at least some of the history behind the treasures that I purchase. It seems that knowing their history makes them come alive for me. Check out the pictures below to see some of the treasures from this wonderful estate sale. If you have an interest in any of the items, please contact me at  

livingstonstreetdecor@verizon.net

Isn't she a beauty! She's very old and very French! She also has a coat of light green paint that does not amuse me. I think a coat of white paint will bring out her beauty! What do you think? Leave it or paint it?

(Excuse the quality of this pic. It was a phone pic)

...but look at the detail!

This little French beauty...

has a hidden drawer on the side!

Wow! I love her! She has an old repair where the pedestal meets the base of the bust, but it's solidly repaired and unnoticeable when she is on display.

These spoke to me...

the faces are so soft and detailed.

This tapestry is 53" wide x 39" tall. The man at the estate sale told me that his father was stationed in Germany in World War II. The tapestry was salvaged by his father from a bombed out house in Germany and sent home as a gift to his mother. It is almost pristine. There is a small tear in the lower left corner...no stains...amazing!

A pair of old chalkware wall shelves with just the right amount of chippy patina.

Look at that little red shoe form! Don't see 'em in red very often. The one on the left is for a ladies shoe.

Great vintage letterpress storage boxes, a great old red wooden tool box and antique hardware!

Close up of hardware. Such attention to detail!

This letterpress storage box has numbers in it...I just love numbered things!

This religious print has some stains but it adds to it's charm and character.

Love this framed picture! Old books are always a favorite of mine. Especially ones that have

beautiful embossed covers.

This beautiful old mirror has some great details on it's frame and the perfect amount

of crackling in the silvering.

Detail on mirror frame.

.

Vintage metal lamp in a deep jewel tone. Perfect for fall and winter decor.
