The Estate of things

As promised, lots of fresh stuff added to the Estate Sale this week and there’s more to come, be sure and take a spin.

This chic little accessory recently added to the shop needs little introduction,

Take a cue from Lisa and make it a part of your table top vignette,

A Bloomsbury Life

Coming to an open shelf near you is this adorable vintage glass chicken,

available in our Etsy shop, the Estate Sale

I think she would love to nest somewhere like this,

I’ve been working on piecing a nursery together and because I’m still convinced that its a boy (two more weeks until we know!) I’ve been focusing on creating a space meant for a boy. Not to worry–I’m not totally putting my eggs in one basket, I do have a starting element for a girl’s nursery that I could build on.

One element I was thinking of including is a quilt or blanket folded and placed over the side of the crib. Let me stop here and say that I did this in DC’s room and I placed it at the foot of the crib so there was no risk of it falling off in to the crib and on to her face. 

While we’re on the topic of baby quilts, during some of my daily reading I discovered designer Amy Meier (thanks to Amber Interiors) who is letting a quilt drive the concept in her daughter’s nursery. Check out Amy’s portfolio here.

So back to the search– 

I looked through some of my favorite baby sites and then of course I started cruising Etsy. I found an abundance of sweet blankets, I especially love the gauze cotton blankets like the Patapri Mountain blanket below. Here are some of favorites,

There are lots of creative people around the net that have got maybe a little more time than me and a lot more motivation to make cool things.

I recently caught this on Pinterest,

and immediately thought of this…

available here

Don’t you think some of you sewing extroidinaires OR novices could whip one of those up. There is a lot of great ikat fabric on Ebay and Etsy. And hey if you do it please email me a picture, I wanna see and then I will sing your crafty praises.

Fresh cuts at our Etsy shop, the Estate Sale this week–including those that might aid in a complete bar setup at home. Allow me to demonstrate,

This Mad Men-esque martini pitcher with glass stir would be a great addition

to a cocktail vignette like this,

or maybe you need a classic modern decanter,

to complete this scene,

Maybe you’re more of a wine drinker in which case you would require this unique decanter,

to pour from the next time you sit down with friends at this table,

Hard to pick a favorite…

I added this sweet little painting to the Etsy shop, the Estate Sale,

 

It reminded me of the “Coming Up Roses” feature in Lonny’s March/April Issue,

and PS, that Violet Chintz fabric has been stuck in my head and I couldn’t figure out where I had seen it, does that happen to you? You see something, forget to bookmark it and then it bugs you until you find it again (if you’re lucky)

Fresh inventory at the Etsy shop, the Estate Sale,

Maybe you’re more of a ceramic person,
 

Spotted the partridge bedside in the new Dwell Studio catalog,

 

I was searching “white coral” on Etsy recently and came across this,

 Vintage Orange blossom fabric via moxie 

and immediately thought hello China Seas, what a find!
