We’re exactly halfway to Christmas!

OK, I don’t normally post about Christmas in June, but we do have a holiday section at our upcoming Carriage House Sale.

It will be a bit of an experiment to see if Christmas stuff sells in June, so I’ll try to keep you posted on that.

I have a few items left over from last year’s holiday season that will be included such as the Bed & Breakfast sign.

And this North Pole sign.

I have a pair of ice skates.

And a tacklebox.

And some bottle brush trees in vintage silver.

But I also have some projects that I just completed including this adorable little lantern.

And this much larger lantern.

I haven’t permanently attached the trees or the silver deer just in case the future owner wants to switch the lantern up for the various seasons.

Instead I used some Stick-Um candle adhesive to hold them in place.

I also painted up a bucket in Dixie Belle’s Drop Cloth and added a design from the I.O.D. Noel paint inlay to it.

This was my 2nd use of this particular inlay, and as you can see it turned out fairly faint.

If you want to read more about the results when using a paint inlay for the 2nd time, check out this post.

I did also paint up a sled for the sale.

We’ll also have a couple of sleds that aren’t painted.

And finally, I want to share these lovely vintage Christmas tablecloths that Sue is selling.

Perfect for your vintage holiday table.

We will be holding our sale this week rain or shine.  As of writing this post they are forecasting the possibility of rain for both Thursday evening and Friday.  Good grief.  It seems that we can’t go a day or two without rain so far this summer.  On the bright side, the hostas are getting ginormous.  They are loving all of the rain.

So … we’ll have tents and we’ll do our best to keep everything dry for the sale.

We will be accepting cash and Venmo only (no credit cards or checks).

I’ll post my address tomorrow here on the blog and also on Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist.

If you’re local, I hope to see you there!
