A rather blissful change from my point of view. Of course texting knows no season, at least around here. lol.<br /><br /><br /> Even the tiny little flowers seem to think it's about time for spring, even tho it's a bit late for them here, they've usually gone mad by now. The crocus are always the first to arrive, quickly followed by the buttercups/daffodils, and much later the tiger lillies.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbqZxtRM_iL2PvcRbJnR5ay9noHoARBe19E_Gn_OzFpO9d9Kq7HWnnqbPTgRYc1VVJdh9_dsFGOTdqFxTvN9eeoKoSb1SICdkXDtBKPIaOZKpbkM5KKynpGjqpdE4I04ORXy7t7enJRBi9/s1600-h/IMG_6031.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 278px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbqZxtRM_iL2PvcRbJnR5ay9noHoARBe19E_Gn_OzFpO9d9Kq7HWnnqbPTgRYc1VVJdh9_dsFGOTdqFxTvN9eeoKoSb1SICdkXDtBKPIaOZKpbkM5KKynpGjqpdE4I04ORXy7t7enJRBi9/s320/IMG_6031.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448514051335488226" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaYn2rKaQI4xJZ8tNymrsnUBIXIV1sRnRzHGhMgX3VWx29Xefd5ZQ-UDE5vg4-Soua6a6ZNEtFA6MaQjqwqpcPIeqHn9-g_Xbubtf-OpQW0uUi-Z6uz5C-Gz5GQ__pNn_Cd2A63_hoNywp/s1600-h/IMG_6036.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 290px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaYn2rKaQI4xJZ8tNymrsnUBIXIV1sRnRzHGhMgX3VWx29Xefd5ZQ-UDE5vg4-Soua6a6ZNEtFA6MaQjqwqpcPIeqHn9-g_Xbubtf-OpQW0uUi-Z6uz5C-Gz5GQ__pNn_Cd2A63_hoNywp/s320/IMG_6036.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448516803452365618" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /><br /><br />It never ceases to amaze me, year after year.

Despite this fact, and KNOWING I don't have time to deal with more vintage stuffage at the moment, I wander across the country side the other day, to check out the stock of a small vintage clothing shop going out of business. The drive was lovely, past rolling hills, lush valleys, with huge farms struggling desperately to survive in our modern world, through a smallish town that still has the civil war era court house on the square. Already overloaded with stuffage from previous estate sales, auctions, etc., I've accumulated literally weeks of yard work and household maintenance (due to WEEKS of non-stop rain, see previous post) & what feels like hundreds of minute details to attend to; I certainly should have stayed home! <br /><br />Why the dresses call to me, I know not. But they do, refusing to be ignored, despite the fact that the vast majority not only won't fit me, but half the ones that do are all wrong (don't hang right, tooo damn short waisted, etc.) Perhaps the vintage fairy knows I'll do my damnedest to find them new homes, with fabulous new lives to live, being worn & loved yet again. So to make a long story short, the sweet lil shop with the purple door, which I'd never known was there (hidden behind a farmhouse turned trendy coffee shop), housed a total score! The back of my Ford was filled half-way to the top with stacks of dresses & lingerie. Now where am I going to put it all??? Much less find the time to list it, sigh.....<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1qCJzESxH60hRyZvnGYZ85tFkrA5gcAN2MTwDe0Q_F4FwvtD3cwOML1nAt-mLtj4-7Hu7cXlwduwCuuSlKPdvDQDm1N2ofIyfaU7FR3MYmQ5EpjjPBESmpBFD1QwZYr_qsPwvmgWkNqKs/s1600-h/IMG_2865.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 270px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1qCJzESxH60hRyZvnGYZ85tFkrA5gcAN2MTwDe0Q_F4FwvtD3cwOML1nAt-mLtj4-7Hu7cXlwduwCuuSlKPdvDQDm1N2ofIyfaU7FR3MYmQ5EpjjPBESmpBFD1QwZYr_qsPwvmgWkNqKs/s400/IMG_2865.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5346012294048158882" /></a>Haute Country Vintage Co.http://www.blogger.com/profile/00531760813366121178noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-585230789598118568.post-5175568738505669372009-05-26T21:42:00.002-05:002009-05-26T21:44:41.835-05:00<div style='text-align:center;margin:0px auto 10px;'><a href='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh87le7frwTie_S16HTwQqKJlEZZLORpDvCDlyLSrJgVwU4gqHgqr2_YmSGU2wbfhUjUo2FZXCXemW6olHPgz8kxtIE9WuqFW-G3NgGrmctaRADrbAJNFQaB7jO_F6D-UTCNciICJaVe0QZ/s1600-h/flowersafterrain54.jpg'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh87le7frwTie_S16HTwQqKJlEZZLORpDvCDlyLSrJgVwU4gqHgqr2_YmSGU2wbfhUjUo2FZXCXemW6olHPgz8kxtIE9WuqFW-G3NgGrmctaRADrbAJNFQaB7jO_F6D-UTCNciICJaVe0QZ/s400/flowersafterrain54.jpg' border='0' alt='' /></a> </div><div style='clear:both; text-align:CENTER'><a href='http://picasa.google.com/blogger/' target='ext'><img src='http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif' alt='Posted by Picasa' style='border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial;' align='middle' border='0' /></a></div>Haute Country Vintage Co.http://www.blogger.com/profile/00531760813366121178noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-585230789598118568.post-45517863899682692572009-03-15T08:21:00.004-05:002009-03-15T09:36:24.539-05:00Playing Catch Up!Okay, okay, so I'm behind on blogging.

Well, I found tons of them, along with some of the most fabulously amazing cabs, beads, buttons & other assorted goodies. I had no idea what I was going to do with some of those pretties, particularly the cabs, I just knew I HAD to have some of them, LOL. Especially the Czech glass opals & Fleur de Lis!! After all but abandoning the original project (just saving it for later ;D I played around with different configurations & combinations until I was pleasantly surprised at what I came up with. What followed were assemblages of a sort, morphing into brooches, pendants & rings. Pretty much in that order, as I had some spare pin backs but had to order some supplies for the pendants & rings. The wait quite nearly drove me mad, LOL! Does anyone else find it excruciating waiting for shipments when you have ideas purely burning your brain??<br /><br />As the additional supplies started to arrive, I found myself devoting more & more time to creating and insanely enough, shopping for more :) Truly, a new addiction! I can't seem to stop. Now I've got to learn how to let some of them go. Easier said than done! I listed 2 of them on Etsy & already sold the Favorite Fleur Ring. Packing it for shipment to it's new home was really rather difficult :( It was the first ring I made. But since I've filled a vintage jewelry box (and then some) with my new creations, and the evil kewpie threatens to swipe several at any second, I REALLY must find them new homes. Then I can get more supplies ;D<br /><br />xoxo<br />HollyHaute Country Vintage Co.http://www.blogger.com/profile/00531760813366121178noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-585230789598118568.post-27461758256548434072009-02-21T08:53:00.006-06:002009-02-23T08:03:52.603-06:00New Roof Complete = Happy Dance<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1T7ovYg6M2Qp2NP95igzsRG-YSS0LJRJpzUQm4frhF_UKr6CZlA_3kMzC49h-zVcQPDwDaLuJvniWeAe-93a7C5FK3nC3fR0YqeVysCrpQ1LWNpc_3ABvSbzA8K4f3-0m5sNxtrdFeCjD/s1600-h/IMG_1071.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 367px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1T7ovYg6M2Qp2NP95igzsRG-YSS0LJRJpzUQm4frhF_UKr6CZlA_3kMzC49h-zVcQPDwDaLuJvniWeAe-93a7C5FK3nC3fR0YqeVysCrpQ1LWNpc_3ABvSbzA8K4f3-0m5sNxtrdFeCjD/s400/IMG_1071.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5305265391824833538" /></a><br />Well, the banging, clanging, "the sky is falling" noises have finally gone away!!

If you've never had the pleasure of having a new roof installed on a house you're living in, I highly recommend it. NOT. lol. Especially if the house in which you reside is around 100 years old, has been roofed over several times and has, um, well waaaaaay too many layers. So many layers in fact, it would be illegal if this were done today. Eeeeekk! The roofers arrived yesterday, perfect timing as the wild wind had blown through the day before, wreaking it's own havoc. (Nothing terribly bad, I'm happy & relieved to report, it was way past time for a redo anyway) For a true before, you'll have to see the <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjasTABKtY6A5VGGtD36j6EqwudceuzkBg_GZtMdVuzTmhXW_vNmdypAGMnKpCQoIwvi4XE2Y1e8SXLnD9GfpKnt4i9ifz26rOhrR8ej4otxix2Nufg0omkYlT5yqzIstAULStcvr8qrgdY/s1600-h/snowday09.jpg">Snowday pix</a>.<br /><br />What you're looking at now is my nekkid roof, after 4, yes, count them, all 4 layers of shingles, plus the underlayment were torn off. This took a day and a half. Ever tried to get roofing tacks out of raw, sawmill lumber that's God knows how old? Me neither, it did NOT look like fun. Oh, and SURPRISE, would ya lookey there, at one time the house had dormers! Why, oh why did no one know this?? The funny/not so funny thing is, I've ALWAYS thought the house would look fabulous with dormer windows or one huge eyebrow window. Even talked about it, suggested it to my Nanny years ago, looked into it awhile back and decided it would be too much trouble/too expensive. This house belonged to one of my Grandmothers, before it came to me/I came back to it. No one remembers them, there are no pictures of them, even from the family who owned it prior to my Nanny, decades & decades ago. The house is way older than anyone thought.

DD's had strep cooties all week & has surely been keeping me on the run,LOL. Thanks to all who inquired, she is definitely on the mend now. About the only thing accomplished is the listing of a few pairs of fabulous shoes, to the <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5766102">Etsy Shop</a>, including another pair of vintage <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=20468803">YSL Yves Saint Laurent Slides</a>! & a Valentine Collage.

I always enjoyed working with her on projects, when I wasn't completely out of my league,lol. There wasn't an art or craft that she couldn't master if she set her mind to it. For alot of reasons, none of which seem quite clear now, I stopped creating, for the most part, when she died. We're talking YEARS people!! I suppose I was blocked. The vast majority of the time, I never thought about it much. With life & kids & college (I went back to college in my early 30's, but that's an adventure for another day) most days were already filled to the brim.<br /><br />After hanging out with some of the most incredibly fabulous, truly inspiring, friends I've made thru Etsy, (a big shout out to the awesome friends from the <a href="http://www.etsy.com/forums_thread.php?thread_id=5981643">Who Loves Vintage?</a> thread on the Etsy forum) the urge to create miraculously returned. And let me say this, it would NOT be ignored. I should've said returned with a vengeance, lol. Sometimes all it takes to re-fuel those creative juices is to be around inspiring friends, so thanks you guys, you're all so very treasured! I've not been sleeping very well the last couple months so, I've had some extra time on my hands ;0) This is what goes on when I can't sleep.........<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjroMmI7CbXegkrxGC5MrNR8foRTfYuVjVJ3ZQth8bGG7hJjeqTWVPA77-jenJsTE0wTmDercmBDO0QdYvQ0ywvy42e4n8YDVjQqRqvJiTKa90CHPEMjpLKpIHsi7GmgwMLAv8UfafFY_sL/s1600-h/IMG_0745.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 389px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjroMmI7CbXegkrxGC5MrNR8foRTfYuVjVJ3ZQth8bGG7hJjeqTWVPA77-jenJsTE0wTmDercmBDO0QdYvQ0ywvy42e4n8YDVjQqRqvJiTKa90CHPEMjpLKpIHsi7GmgwMLAv8UfafFY_sL/s400/IMG_0745.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5295604741359597490" /></a><br><br>Fugly stool getting re-upolstered with some help from my friend Georgie.

The best gift ever was having him at home for the holidays & my birthday a few days later, which he was. (He's an MP in the TNARNG, translation: Military Police - Tennessee Army National Guard) That could never be topped.<br /><br /><br /> Well I thought & thought and went through some of my wish lists on several sites. Finally, I settled on a vintage store display child's bust, with the sweetest lil' face ever!! Vintage store fixtures, displays & dress forms are my favorites. I'm an idiot, complete & total idiot over all things cute, girly, froufrou, etc. He obviously, is not. His preference is much more dark & ominous, sorta steampunk. How he has tolerated our rose infested, pink, shabby foofoo, white slipcovered decor for the last 20 years is something of a mystery. I suppose growing up surrounded by girls/women, he's immune to it all at this point. Alas, I digress... After asking me what in the world I was going to do with it, "Why put vintage hats & baby bonnets on it, of course!", I said, he picked out (at my request) a red velvet bonnet from my stash for the cute lil' thing to wear.

It's rare that I can resist anything vintage, pink or Christmas, much less the triple threat of all three combined ;) As usual, I had low expectations, LOL, I never win anything, ever. Really. So imagine my shock & awe, lol, when Kathy contacted me that I'd won!! Whoo Hooo!! A few days later I received a huge box of fabulousness. Just in time for Christmas, too :D<br /><br />Included were oodles of fabulous handmade tags (gorgeous & oh so needed!), a big 'ol rose covered ornament (roses are my fav um, addiction), note cards, the sweetest vintage floral tea towel, and of course the pink Santa!! Please forgive the atrocious & hasty pictures. They truly do not do any justice at all to the lovelies from Kathy at <a href="http://www.lollishops.com/catnipstudio">Catnip Studios</a>!! Thanks sooo much for the fabulously awesome goodies, love them all!<br /><br />Post Script:<br /><br />Being somewhat technologically challenged, without realizing it, this post is a wee bit late, as it's been in Edit mode for alot longer than it should have been :(<br /><br />Note to self:Double check whether i've clicked post, as well as save :DHaute Country Vintage Co.http://www.blogger.com/profile/00531760813366121178noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-585230789598118568.post-57360473093023746402008-12-16T10:27:00.002-06:002009-01-28T07:53:34.392-06:00Brand Spankin' New SEE EDIT<script type="text/javascript" src="http://widgets.clearspring.com/o/483ec89d3823f260/4947d6f4e13ac4fb/483ec89d28fd4e4c/22580d61/widget.js"></script><br /><br /><br />Due to Unfortunate Circumstance, the Guild was deleted:(Haute Country Vintage Co.http://www.blogger.com/profile/00531760813366121178noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-585230789598118568.post-79082230702238507622008-12-09T19:41:00.000-06:002008-12-09T19:41:43.490-06:00Grosgrain: Scribble It GIVEAWAY!!!!<a href="http://grosgrainfabulous.blogspot.com/2008/12/scribble-it-giveaway.html">Grosgrain: Scribble It GIVEAWAY!!!!</a>Haute Country Vintage Co.http://www.blogger.com/profile/00531760813366121178noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-585230789598118568.post-42712133124746594112008-12-08T10:59:00.007-06:002008-12-08T11:09:53.471-06:00Winner of the HCV Gift Certificate is..........<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1gKkT3bBXfeKsfszthpHPVwDMatz8e7-o_7qBARNVz3P75bCSH19RCDnvu7YBKMUgHLzLe2d9HVVoJcgqPtBgMz660XbDPkoiZCYjbSNsY7In-HNwQwYQmoReVb2PUGrjINCDxtY6Lxus/s1600-h/evstblogbanner.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277467318679640178" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 387px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1gKkT3bBXfeKsfszthpHPVwDMatz8e7-o_7qBARNVz3P75bCSH19RCDnvu7YBKMUgHLzLe2d9HVVoJcgqPtBgMz660XbDPkoiZCYjbSNsY7In-HNwQwYQmoReVb2PUGrjINCDxtY6Lxus/s400/evstblogbanner.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="color:#ff6666;">DigitalMisfits/heidig</span> is the winner for Day 10 of the Walking In A Vintage Wonderland Gift Certificate Daily Drawing:) Congratulations & thanks so much for entering!!
