I didn’t buy any of the silver in this suitcase, but isn’t this a fun idea for a display?
There was lots of clothes and jewelry, Christmas decor old and new, and a handful of booths that I would say were exclusively vintage. My favorite, far and away, was the booth by Soulshine Cottage, which makes vintage Christmas arrangements using vintage Christmas baubles, and I was in love! This little one was made with a vintage tart tin (like the ones I used here to make financiers).
My picture doesn't do it justice, but this arrangement in a mini Santa mug is the one I chose as my treat for the day. Have you ever been to a Christmas market like this? Saturday's was my first, and as much as I love vintage stuff, I'd sure love to find more of them!
Here's another one made with a tart tin.
Some designs were so colorful and cheerful that they just made me smile.
And for the Shabby Chic lover, there were some in a softer palette.
I even spotted one in a teapot, but it's not the one I went home with.

The idea of a Vintage Market really appeals to me, and I have enjoyed the pictures of things you found there. And of course, you chose the Santa mug arrangement! It's perfect for you. I'd have had a hard time choosing between it and the red Tonka truck, but I think you made the right choice.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely craft show. Your mug arrangement is perfect!
ReplyDeleteI've never been to a Christmas vintage market before, but that one sure looks like fun!
ReplyDeleteI think I would have chosen the arrangement with the little brown ceramic deer in the tart tin..
Oh course the Santa mug decoration would come home with you. Everytime I see one I think of you. What a fun sale. Love the silver in the suitcase. The tart tins really caught my eye because I have a box of tart tins and never know what to do with all of them. One year I made bells to decorate the tree and give as gifts.
