Welcome, baby boy!

One of my oldest, dearest, and best friends had a BABY!!!! I made this wreath for her hospital room/nursery door.  This was my first "boy" themed wreath and struggled with how to make it cute without making it girly...so I brainstormed and decided to use some vintage and new buttons! What do you think? 

Friday Finds

I know it has been a really long time since I have posted about my "Friday Finds!"  Trust me though, I've been out there hunting as much as possible, looking for treasures like these two I found this past Friday!

I found this amazing cuff bracelet at one of my favorite spots.  It is brass and has amazing details.  It looks like it has leather between the brass and the carved details.  I really don't know much about it...but I loved it and had to have it!  I'm plan to continue to learn more about this piece, in the meantime, I'll be wearing it as much as possible!

This dress has to be one of my favorite 
finds to date! It is a 1940s dress from the maker R&K Originals.  It is in amazing condition, especially for it's age!  It has the sweetest details; from the lace around the collar, to the amazing pleating and brass buttons!  You can read a little more about the company here.  

This dress is available on my etsy shop for your consideration.

Thank you for visiting and happy hunting!

FANCY FAYE VINTAGE

Vintage Loves

It's been a little while since my last post so I just wanted to quickly post a few pictures of a few of my recent favorite found treasures.  I'll be honest...I haven't been great about taking pictures lately, but I'll get back in the habit-- promise! :)

The necklace above is seriously unreal incredible.  It's in near mint condition and made with strings of lightweight painted wood beads!  I found it in a little antique mall in my hometown and was ecstatic to be able to take it home and call it mine...especially since I "fought" my sister for it!  I promised her I would not sell it (how could I?) and that she could borrow it any time (we share!).  For those of you who don't know, my baby sister is my best friend, my "mini-me", and my co-treasure hunter.  She has great style and we work really well together!

 People always say, "photos just don't do this justice", but that is SO TRUE for this adorable mint dress with pretty scalloped lace!  I had to give this little gem a little TLC but it is so stinking cute, it was worth it.  Too bad it's TINY!!!!

Now these white screw post chandelier earrings are one of my all-time favorite finds.  At a recent estate sale I got a few cute pairs of earrings (some of which I'll be re-purposing for a necklace-stay tuned), but these beauties almost got missed, as they were hidden in the fancy display case.  They aren't in perfect condition but I just couldn't pass them up!!!

Entry Way Re-Do with a Thrifted STEAL!

I've mentioned in the past that Saturdays are the best days to hit the estate sales if you're looking for steals.  If you drive up during the last hour, look to do some major bargaining and clear some room in your trunk!  I benefited recently from this method and walked away with an awesome, hand crafted antique wooden entry table for my entry hall, a room that had stood practically empty for *cough* nearly 2 years *cough*.  


The table may not look like it, but it was in a pretty rough state, however, I knew it had great potential.  The only real issue that couldn't be overcame with a little TLC was the lack of drawers.  I believe it was for this reason that it was marked so inexpensive and was still available on day 3 of a big estate sale (that and It was hidden under lots of nick knacks).  I scored this table for....$4 and some change.  I was pretty proud...still am.  I knew that I would have to factor in paint and baskets, but at that price, I knew I'd still come in way under budget.  


Here is a picture of my final product.  After a thorough sanding with the electric sander, and patience painting, I added a few accessories and now have a very inviting entry way!

Table: $4

Paint: Free (Found in Garage)

Baskets: $16 (Hobby Lobby- Half Off)
