Autumnal Colors

As I start to feel a slight cool-down in our weather, I'm reminded that autumn is right around the corner. The cool blue-gray color of the bird on the top branch reminds of a crisp, cool Halloween-type evening where ghoulish colors abound. The warm golden color on the belly of the bird on the bottom branch reminds me of a harvest moon on such a night.
This vintage illustration is available in my etsy shop and would coordinate perfectly with these Chinoiserie Placemats as featured on Hostess with the Mostess.

A Very Vintage Christmas

Here's a real spin on Christmas - turquoise paired with amber colored ornaments. I had originally planned to just include the turquoise ornaments in this kit, but I saw the little amber colored vintage indent ornament sitting in its box and noticed what a great contrast it provided to the turquoise. I gathered a few orange ornaments and some pretty yellow ones and I am so happy with the end result! Also included are the most precious vintage bird Christmas lights. I'm not sure what my fascination with Christmas birds is lately, but these lights sure make me smile every time I see them.

Birds of a Feather Flock Together

This little feather tree is an absolute delight. The prelit tree is covered in a variety of ornaments including: small aqua bird ornaments which come adorned with their own feather tails; small aqua vintage mini ornaments; tall ball and teardrop shaped ornaments in a deep aqua, silver and bright magenta and a lovely garland of glass beads that just sparkle in the light.
The feather tree and ornaments are sold already!
