Vintage Chic... even for the man in your life



One of the ladies at
Chartreuse and Co.
just rocks at providing our customers
 a look that screams Industrial Chic.
Her vintage items take everything for storage up a notch.
By the way she has just redesigned her website
so go on by and visit
and you can buy some of the items
I used for my husband's presents this past birthday.
 I do not know if it is hard for you
to find a unique present but I struggle.
I wanted to personalize my gift so I had to get crafty.
 I used printed out pics of the kiddies
and some little phrases both functional and meaningful for us.
I used a 1 1/2 inch glass bubble,
diamond glaze and glued to the magnets with E600 glue.
Someone once asked about my art studio...alrighty,
 truth be told,
 kitchen island = studio
and
a lot-o-mess.
And yes, I drink coffee, eat breakfast and craft in my PJs.  Classy.

Easy and very personal cool for "The Dad".


So I purchased this fabulous vintage baking sheet
and some metal boxes with the same cool punched holes
from my pal Kelly at Madison & Mabel.
The patina is perfect. Time worn and warm.

Add in the personal touches:
 Gift cards to itunes, Borders, Cabellas and Baja Fresh

AND
 BEER
and you have a happy hubby.
Happy Birthday love.
Molly

And that great bird cage lamp is from Chartruse and Co. too!! 
 See what you can find.

  6. Loving your projects! I need to know where you found your moss ribbon. I am having some ladies at my house this month, and that would be such a cute little gift for them to take home. Jackie
