Before I get into today’s post, congrats to Amanda whose name I drew to win my Christmas Inspiration giveaway!

Earlier this week I brought just a small sampling of my Christmas items into the shop where I sell some of my things on consignment, Reclaiming Beautiful in Stillwater, MN.

By a small sampling, I mean I was limited to just five items this week.  It was a bit of a struggle for me to determine which five things to drop off, but ultimately I went with these five …

First, the skates that I shared with you guys last week.

These are priced at $55.

Next up, this stenciled sled.

It is 37.5″ tall x  22″ wide and is priced at $58.

I also brought in this adorable green kid sized chair …

It is 22.5″ tall x 13.5″ wide x 12″ deep and is priced at $48.

Item no. 4 that went in to the shop already is this wooden stenciled sign.  I thought perhaps I should round out my selection with something that wasn’t in the traditional red and/or green.

This sign is 28.5″ wide x 21.5″ tall and priced at $45.

Lastly, I brought in the birdcage centerpiece that I created last year.

The birdcage is 12″ tall x 10″ deep x 13.5″ wide and is priced at $48.

So that’s the five items that have already gone to the shop.  It’s certainly possible that they have not been purchased yet (although last night was the shop’s holiday open house), but you locals would have to visit the shop to find out!  Check out their Facebook page for hours and location.

Now, how about taking a look at a bunch of the other pieces that I have ready to take to the shop next week?  Let’s call this a bit of a pre-sale for any of my local readers who might be interested.  If you are interested, you can jump on them now by leaving me a comment or by sending me an email at qisforquandie@gmail.com.

I’ve been working hard pulling together a bunch of items for Christmas and I wanted to show them all here, but I’ll be taking the time to write proper blog posts about a few of these items over the next several weeks as well, so stay tuned for more detail.

I have one more vintage sled with metal runners (personally, this one is my favorite with its neutral shades).

This sled is 38.5″ tall x 23″ wide and is also priced at $58.

I also have this next sled, which doesn’t have metal runners, but it still turned out pretty darn cute.

This sled is 37″ tall x 12″ wide and is priced at $48.

I have another kid sized chair, this one is painted in my favorite warm white, Dixie Belle’s Drop Cloth, and I think it has a bit of a Scandi vibe with the red and white.

This chair is also 22.5″ tall x 13.5″ wide x 12″ deep and priced at $48.

This wooden ‘bomb box’ is going into the shop priced at $45.

At 10″ tall x 13.5″ wide x 12″ deep it’s the perfect container for a small tabletop tree.

I turned this old beadboard cupboard door into Christmas decor, and it’s for sale as well.

It is 25″ wide x 22″ tall and for sale at $55.

I’ll be bringing this lantern in priced at $32.

I have this ‘let it snow’ kid sized vintage shovel, which I actually painted up last year and kept for myself.  But I’ve decided to let it go this year for $45.  It is 34″ tall.

Speaking of things I kept last year, but am going to bring in to the shop this year, this sign falls into that category too.

This one is 13″ tall by 28.5″ wide and also $45.

I’m willing to part with these petite vintage ice skates for $25 …

and this adorable lantern (on right) for $26.

I also have a few faux grain sack stockings leftover from last year.

I’m marking them down to $11 each, so I’m hoping they sell this time around.

Next up is a random cutting board that I had in my stash.  I painted it in Dixie Belle’s Drop Cloth, and then I trimmed up an image from the I.O.D. Candy Cane Cottage transfer set to fit.

Super simple, and pretty cute, right?  It’s for sale at $18.

Did I also mention that I didn’t just buy one of the Candy Cane Cottage sets?  I bought two just in case I really loved it, and they sold out quickly.  Turns out it was lucky I did that, they are already sold out and pretty much impossible to find.

I put that same Hot Cocoa design from my 2nd set on a vintage gingham tray that I had on hand.

That gingham pattern kind of messes with my camera’s ability to focus, but I promise, in person it looks good and it’s priced at a mere $12.

I also used the Grandma Kringle’s Candy Canes design on a vintage enamelware coffee pot.

Once again I had to trim off a little bit of the design in order to get it to fit my piece, but that was easy enough to do.

The candy cane coffee pot is priced at $25 (and FYI, both of the rolling pins in it are for sale at $10 each).

Next up are some bottle brush trees that I dressed up by adding them to vintage silver pieces.

I tucked some battery operated fairy lights into some of them, the battery pack just slipped right inside the silver piece.  Those with lights range from $18 to $22, those without lights are $16.

I also did some bottle brush trees in vintage door knobs, priced at $12 each.

They all look festive grouped en masse on a large silver tray (priced at $24).

And there you have it.  Most (but not all) of my holiday merch.  I’ll still be working on some fun holiday projects and sharing them here along with some more detailed posts about a few of the items shown above.

If you locals (Twin Cities, MN) are interested in purchasing any of the items (other than the first five that are already at the shop), be sure to leave a message here or send me an email at qisforquandie@gmail.com.  I’ll try to modify this post to mark items as sold if they get spoken for.  First come, first served, and you may want to act fast because I’ll be delivering these to the shop next Wednesday.  I should also note that I don’t always see the emails right away, so your best bet is to leave a comment here.
