A Sneak Peak for Remnants of the Past

For the last

Remnants of the Past

 show (in the fall) I did several posts with vignettes of what we were taking to the show.  For this show, I have a few sneak peaks of what we will be taking.  Hopefully I will be able to do another post before the show, but if not, here are a few teasers.

French chair with ticking seat.

Baskets, another chair, big grapevine wreath, sideboard.

Vintage enamel street signs.

Blue jars, vintage prescription boxes.

I will always have sheet music wreaths.

Large primitive island.

Chippy blue and white shutters.

Metal cans with great patina.

That's it for now folks!  I told you it was a peak.  I don't have time to set up perfect vignettes this time.  I hope this will satisfy you for now.  Hope to see you at the show, and if not, I promise I will take pics of the show to share later.

Workshops!

As most of you know, we hold workshops here at

The Vintage Bricoleur.

In the last month or so we held another

~Vintage Sheet Music Wreath Workshop~

and

~Flower Pin Workshop.~

Both were fun evenings filled with lots of visiting, creating and snacking on delicious refreshments.

Yesterday was our first

~Annie Sloan Chalk Paint Class~

(we carry the full line of paint, waxes and brushes in our store)

It was a huge sucess. Thank you Bobbi from Not Too Shabby for teaching it.  She taught 4 techniques, and the students painted a small piece of their own.  Some of the students are now asking for the advanced class. (more info on that to come soon)

We often get request to repeat these classes so I am going to list out the next few on the calender.
