Rusticity Decor will be participating in the Spring Vintage Home Market!!! Save the date and come visit me!
A Space Of My Own
I am now renting space at my favorite antique mall in the area – Through the Garden Gate Antiques. I love being able to have my own little space to decorate – even if it’s only 12×12.5ft. I control the inventory and I can display that inventory however I want to, which is the best part of the job! After all, it’s all about the presentation!
I almost feel like this space is a practice run for when I have my own shop… one day! A girl can dream! Until then please check out Rusticity Decor at this amazing antique mall in Mechanicsville, Va. It’s such a wonderful place full of great finds and great people!
My First Vintage Show
I had such an awesome experience at my first vintage show – A Vintage Frame Of Mind Popup Show in Currituck, NC.
Unfortunately, Black Friday wasn’t a great day to have it since everyone appeared to be at the malls instead… so i’m thinking of it as a practice run.
So even though I didn’t get to sell a lot, i’m still so happy that I went and was a part of such a wonderful little show. My entire family came together and made things to sell in my booth as well – it was really heartwarming. Millie brought her jewelry and Molly brought her photography prints from her company, Art Through A Lens. My dad made several wooden caddy’s and my mom made rustic bark vases and wire jewelry holders. So I had a 10×10 booth FILLED with incredible hand made and vintage items! I WAS SO PROUD of how it all turned out.
I would also like to thank my incredible sister Millie Hiner and her boyfriend Seth Powers for joining me in this adventure. They were such a huge help and I couldn’t have done it without them!
I also met some incredible vendors and the experience was priceless. I am so ready and prepared for the next show!
Bring it on!
Vintage at the Vineyard
Rusticity Decor’s first show will be at Sanctuary Vineyards on black Friday! It’s the Vintage Frame of Mind Pop-Up Show! I am extremely excited! Come see us and do some great shopping!
My new obsession
It’s safe to say that my new obsession is vintage store display racks. Every time I see one for sale I have to scoop it up! I like the metal ones with chippy paint the best and I like to imagine their past… their story (because everything is better with a story). Perhaps they came out of an old general/country store that had to close its doors.
I buy them – not really knowing how I intend to use them or what exactly they will display. Maybe one day they will show off vintage or homemade jewelry and stationery in my own decor store. A girl can dream!
For a good cause
Rusticity Décor was proud and honored to design a mask to go on auction for the Children’s Hospital Ball! Of course, I had to make my mask light up! The mask is feathered in fiber optic lights and adorned with vintage Mozart sheet music, jewels and wire springs. I used burlap for the base, my material of choice, and intensified the eyes with black lace.
I named the mask, Rustic Glam. It’s a bit avant-garde and was created for a glamorous lady who likes to stand out in a crowd. I hope it raises some money for such a great cause!
