Old House on Washington

I Miss you Mr. Milkman

It's funny sometimes the things that inspire me.

Lately it's been a 4 letter word . . M-I-L-K

I know it's strange but I found these sweet little vintage milk bottle caps.  I love the vintage design and the use of color

 

So I purchased some and began to create. . .

First I made magnets.  How great would these be in a Vintage Kitchen or any kitchen for that matter!

Next, I'm been interested in making prize ribbons.  So I thought what better center than a vintage milk bottle cap.

 

I love them!

And lastly, I have also been greatly inspired by vintage petticoats.  So I decided to incorporate the look into and apron and accent it with a Dairy Prize Ribbon

 

 

This vintage milk bottle cap is for Chocolate Milk . . who doesn't love chocolate milk!

I love being inspired by the little things in life. . . .but today I just miss the Milkman. 

 

Home is Where You Put Your Stuff

After co-owning a children's handmade business for 5 years, I'm so excited to close that book and start a new chapter. 

"Old House on Washington" my new business that gets back to the heart of what I love. 

I love my home. 

Finding and creating housewares gives me a creative high for lack of better words. I love adding that special vintage touch to each one of my pieces. 

So today marks that first page of that new chapter.

Today, I opened my Etsy shop.

Today, I listed my first item.

 

These are my "Home" silver ware organizers. I'm not for sure if that is even a word.

 

 

 

Or for Office Supply Organization

 

 

 

Or for Laundry Organization.

 

 . . . .Or you could use them as flower pots. 

The vintage touch: The letters are vintage decals that are distressed from age and protected with a layer of varnish. 

Check them out on my esty shop, just click on the tab at the top of the page.   

All proceeds go toward our adoption.

Many blessings,

-Missy
