Featuring Sweet Silver @The Vintage Bricoleur

                                          Meet Brenda from Sweet Silver.

This talented lady creates beautiful things out of vintage silverware.  We are happy to have her as part of our team at

The Vintage Bricoleur.

Tea Pot Lamps

Pendants

Madallians


Beaded Bracelets

And so much more.  She has several items that are new this season!
Here is what Brenda has to say...
We just love old silverware!  My husband George and I have spent many, many hours over the years combing thrift stores, garage sales and antique stores for interesting, rare and unusual silverware.  As our vast collection grew so did our ideas of what to do with it all.  It finally all came together in late 2002 when Sweet Silver was born!  George's mechanical ability and my design ideas together create the unique, one-of-a-kind items featured at our shows and shown on this website.
       We handcraft each piece from a variety of authentic, vintage silverware.   Each piece is unique due to the design and wear of the silverware.  Sometimes a fork will just demand to be a zipper pull and other times it immediately suggests a pendant or an easel.


Please welcome Brenda!

Featuring Miss Worm @ The Vintage Bricoleur

Meet Laura of  Miss Worm.

Laura is my husband's sister.

Laura will be taking a small area in the shop that will be filled with beautiful items many of which will be handmade.  Jewelry, flower pins, quilts, pillows, you name it, and all vintage inspired!

Laura has a space at Scout Living, and as you can see she does not waste an inch!

She is to be featured in the next Sac Magazine for her one of a kind jewelry.  She can do custom orders.  She made me a special necklace that says "bricoleur".  I love it.

Please welcome Laura.

Introduced on Remnants of the Past

We are going to be part of the show Remnants Of The Past again.

Judy Watkins the promoter of the show takes the time to introduce all of the vendors.

Check out this website/blog to read the post that introduces us.

This show promises to be bigger and better.  For those of you who attended the last show in the spring, or heard about how crowded it was, set your worries aside.  Judy has made the hard decision to move the show to a new location.  It is much bigger and it will be easier to get around.  It is also a two day show this time, allowing you two fun days of shopping.

Fun things are planned each day.

Brooke and Steve Giannetti of Velvet and Linen will be signing their new book

Patina Style.

Susan Branch will be signing her book

Girlfriends Forever.

Look for us outside under the big tent in spaces T-19 through T-21.

We have some fun items planned and I am going to do several post with pics of some of the items available.

Our space at the spring show.

Remember the chicken?

Look for our sign.

If you are interested in having a brochure with info about the show and a vendor map and such, please contact me and I will get that in the mail to you.
