An Etsy Vintage Christmas

It's December!! Finally. I'm also not in school anymore, so I can actually enjoy it! Huzzah!

Since what I'm actually doing tonight is going to a hockey game after work, here's a fantasy Etsy Christmas post, with a boatload of sparkles and a healthy dose of vintage. One or two of these things are things I plan on attempting some DIYs of throughout the holidays. I have a mild tinsel addiction, and this is the time of year to work those things out.

I'd decorate my new, 7 foot tree from Phat Dog Vintage.

Trimming it with even more garland, from One Strange Girl.

I'd add more colour with these little pretties. Oooooo, pretty. Stolen from Tarragon Vintage.

And these. Want. Several. Snapshot Vintage.

This will be on the walls. From My Vintage Fix.

 This would already be on my door, probably smelling like "country kitchen." Wild Ridge Design. 

I'd be doing some Christmas cooking with snowflakes. Found Here, on Etsy.

And I'd wear this while doing said cooking. Pug Mug.

Or this one, from the Vintage Trunk.

Or this sexy number from The Mushroom Patch.

 And I'd probably be drinking some ice wine out of this berry bush. New Hope Elizabeth.

Or some Eggnog out of these glasses of holiday themed amazingness. I mean, really. Vintage Wolfy.

Le sigh... 

It's officially winter and Christmas season now, so more holiday posts to come, whether you like it or not.

Also, since I'm a decor addict, there might be a series of decor related posts throughout the month. Just saying.

An Esty kitchen

I'm writing my thesis proposal while wandering through Etsy for accessories to my dream vintage, cabin-inspired kitchen. This site is dangerous.

A chicken Recipe box! I like chickens, although I'm trying to be quiet about it so everyone I know doesn't buy me chicken stuff. Choice pieces, not crazy chicken lady. My recipe collection wouldn't even remotely fit, so maybe a general "stuff" box.

Everyone needs a cookie tin or two. This just happens to be nautical as well. I'd probably line with parchment paper or something before I put any actual food in it, but a minor thing.

Yep. But they are cute!

I know it says that this is a decorative tile, so I could hang it on a wall. How about a trivet? Maybe? Either way, it's pretty awesome.

I love having canisters on the counter to hold the most frequently used baking and cooking ingredients. That being said, nine times out of ten, vintage ones are labeled. That can be nice, but most of them have a 'coffee' label. I hate coffee and don't have it in my kitchen. This set isn't labeled, and a has a lovely floral design on it. Win, win!

This is one of my favorite finds so far. Its got great colour and its still in great shape. A good centerpiece, or on an open shelf maybe?

This is a little different. I have a great appreciation for the subversive. Also, this piece has the added bonus of being a functioning clock. It's not cabin-y, and only so vintage, but it's funny. It would go perfectly in a kitchen, dining area that already has a sign that says "Free your inner psychopath."


Sigh.... back to thesis work.
