wishlist wednesday!

Today's wish list Wednesday is all about vintage displays. Pretty much everything in my house has come from a thrift shop or antique store, and it's all had a previous life which I think makes it so much more exciting! Sometimes, it's fun to give new life to an old item in a completely different way!

I don't currently have a glass dome, or cloche, but it's on my list of things to look for. I plan to put mine on an old plate or tray (of which I have MANY) and put a small plant under it.

I've got pencils and pens all over the place, and a nice and interesting way to control the madness is by putting them in a flower frog, be it metal or glass!

I only have a few actual vases (which stay in the cabinet under the kitchen sink) because I'd much rather put flowers in an old pitcher or decorative old drinking glass. I think it gives the arrangement more character, and it gives me a reason to have even more old dishes!

I like using trays to hang on the wall and use as magnetic memo or polaroid boards. It gives my walls some color, it's easy on my wallet and it gives me a reason to use some of my vintage button stash to make cute magnets!

Not only do I like regular framed art hanging on the walls, but I also love to hang beautiful old plates with pretty designs. It's a nice way to make the walls of your kitchen or dining room (or any room for that matter) a little more festive, and I don't think you can go wrong with the delicate beauty of old plates and serving trays!

From the top: three small vintage glass cloches from kissavintagedesign, fruitful display from fromgraytogold, frog for flowers by ellacinders, vintage pastel banded glass pitcher from sosovintage, beaded vintage drinking glasses from vintageinteriors, large round vintage light blue metal tray from modishvintage, pretty collection of small vintage plates from theprettynest.

Last, you can ask me any question you'd like, and I'll post the answers on Friday. And if you haven't signed up for the knick knack exchange or emailed me your address yet, please do, the partner info will be sent out on February 1st!
