Vintage Christmas

Busy time around here at Okie Chic we've been doing shows, decorating for showers, planning parties and put in a holiday booth in Claremore.  Whew....thank goodness I have alot of help with my sisters and friends.  Here's a little bit of the Christmas booth.  We went with vintage nostalgic.

Lots and lots of handmade ornaments by sista Lisa Jo.  I want them all!!!  We purchased this champagne colored tree and it just made them pop.  I added little banners here and there it was a hit.

Sweet little slip covered bench that I made.  I have carried this thing around to several shows and it hasn't sold yet, I think its meant to be mine. 

A close up of the ornaments.  This are really big I think around 5x7 size.  Isn't it cute?  She adds tons of vintage pieces to them old buttons, seam binding and lace.  Love!!

Another sweet ornament lots of vintage tinsel and military flowers.  I bought a lot of old tinsel this summer at a garage sale from a little old lady.  She asked me if 50cents was too much for four rolls of it.  So of course I gave her a little more and a hug.  Love days like that.

Vintage Signs for Market

Love Love Love these signs that we are making for Vintage Market Days!!  We went digging around the old family farm this weekend and found all kinds of wood and neat vintage discards to paint on.  Sista Lisa Jo painted this Jesus Loves Me sign.  I love the worn warm colors she used with the old hinge.  So sweet!!

Who doesn't like a nest sign?  We will have several different signs each one unique and different.  We try to find old vintage discards to paint on.  Whether it's an old dresser that fell apart or an old chair that has no legs they are perfect for us to turn into something beautiful once again!

Sista's at Work



Since all my projects are half done around here thought I would share another little sign. This one is made by my  other sis Lisa Jo.  She found the dresser drawer down at the family farm. Daddy was cleaning out an old building that was used as a garage when my great grandparents lived on the farm.  It was full of old junk alot it had been ruined due to a roof  leak... Sad There is no telling what treasures I could have found!! 

I love the word vintage that she painted on it so sweet.  The drawer handles make it even sweeter.  Never know what you'll find around the farm!!

Vintage Wall Art

Well ....I have all the sisters working on filling up our booth for Vintage Market Days.  My sister Sandy sent me this photo of a wall hanging she made out of a piece of old wood from our grannies chicken coop and old door locks and hinges she found at mom and dads farm.  I love the look!!! I think you could hang it by the back door and hang keys and dog leaches on it!!  So sweet and defiantly says vintage.
