Holidays at The Antique Store ~ Chica Boom Vintage Goes Green & Red

I made this little stocking from a cashmere sweater
Made some paper flowers from sewing patterns. I love these
vintage jingle bells and the silver elephant under the glass dome.

The armoire I just purchased for the store. I added
a painted Syroco bird and added the vintage
travel case and some shoes. Fun!

My handmade mini Christmas Trees. The one on the far left is on a wood spool, the middle is on a small spool
of DMC thread and the one on the right is a mini tree in a mini cloisonné pot. I just added some buttons and trim and
a touch of  gold glitter.  They measure about 5" tall.

In the store I have a bookcase, I put woodgrain wrapping paper behind the shelves and decided to go with red, green, white and silver for the holidays~ I like the challenge of finding pieces that coordinate.

Vintage top by Mr. Mench, I think it was a dress and someone butchered it to a short top. I first straightened the hem and added this cute trim.  I really like the finished piece. Will be putting it for sale on my Etsy, just click on the link to the right and it should take you to my store, Chica Boom Vintage.

 

I made this cute tank top from two different pieces. I loved the little buttons up the front of a found top but the rest of it was not appealing so I added it onto the front of this Missoni looking woven tank top. I just found this great vintage fringe leather jacket too! Little bit of western never hurt anyone!

Ms. Hazel and her pups

Brown" on the left.

 

We have been very busy taking care of our little Hazel while she has been expecting her first litter of dachshund puppies!  She was in labor for about a day and a half! She had 5 beautiful and healthy little pups. Two are black and tan, one has a silvery sheen to it, one is a solid tan, and there are two brindles, one is a little more chocolate.  Hazel is supposed to be a purebred, her mom is a long haired boar brindle and her dad was the classic short haired black and tan. The father of Hazel's pups is a beautiful purebred Isabella colored dachshund. This color is really gorgeous, looks like a silvery taupe color.  I am putting the photo's of the mom and dad and the pups on their 1st day.
