Re-Think, Re-Purpose, Re-Use

 

Amazing Vintage Accounts Drawers 

 

I just received a new shipment of my latest "favourite things".

 

 

 

 

 They are drawers from vintage general store account systems. They were used to hold customer's charge tickets before the days of credit cards.

 

 

 

They are from the States and date from 1920 through to the 1960's. However in the spirit of Vintage Influence's mantra of re-think, re-purpose, re-use, they now have a new lease of life as ultra funky industrial display, memo, inspiration boards.  

 

 

 

 

I have added a few to stock at the stall, Vintage Influence, H5, at Waverley Antiques.

 

 

 

 

And just to show you HOW amazing they can look.....check out the photo of three of them in situ in the kitchen of one of my fantastic vintage customers.....

 

 

 

I just LOVE them.

Love Love Love Repurposing !!!!

All too often people gaze at my Vintage Finds and say......but what will I do with it.....Come on people put those repurposing hats on and live a little !!!!!

My most recent FAVOURITE find are these beautiful old store signs which back in the day were the Merchandising Prop of The Moment.

 

I have put some into stock only this week on the stall , Vintage Influence, H5 in The Cool Room at  Waverley Antiques    

 

Now many of you will look at these and think.....huh !!! So how about these ideas....

 

A funky art display, which you can CHANGE on a regular basis.  

 

 

Beautiful photo frames which are both stunning and original.

 

Really people, make a vintage girls day, look at an object and think outside the box.....the possibilities are only limited by your imagination.

What Makes It All Worthwhile

One of the things I love about my Business, is the great like minded people I get to interact with, share my vintage vision with and who are good enough on top of all of that to BUY my treasures !!!!. This weekend I spoke on the phone to two different Vintage Treasure hunters who were at my stall  at Waverley Antiques , and they both bought some goodies.

 

Imagine my surprise when my French Books, in their beautiful new surroundings, appeared on facebook courtesy of the amazing Vintage Dormer........Enjoy !!

 

 

Then my other vintage treasure hunter was thoughtful enough to send me a photo of my three American Receipt drawers in there new role as memo boards in their home.....Just Fantastic !!!!

 

It just makes what I do all worthwhile and reminds this Vintage Girl of why I LOVE what I do !!!

September 11th

This art work is in our home to remind us all of a day when our lives changed forever and of a day we will never forget. The dedication says it all.

 

'In memory of the events of September 11, 2001 & the days that followed. For those lost & for those left behind, & for the countless people throughout the world who stepped forward in body, mind & spirit & chose to walk like giants'

Perfect Blue Ball Mason Jars

Perfect Blue Ball Mason Jars......



So why Blue ?
Most of the antique jars that aren't colourless are in some shade of aqua.Coloured jars were considered better for preserving since keeping light out meant better and longer preserving ability.



So why Ball ?
These gorgeous jars come from the States and are called Ball jars after the Ball Corporation who were a major early producer of the jars.



So Why Mason ?
The Mason jar was invented and patented in 1858 by Philadelphia tinsmith John Landis Mason who patented the screw-on zinc cap in 1858.



So Why Perfect ?
Well I have my own theory on that ........



I have just received a new shipment of these little beauties from the States and they are at Waverley Antiques , Stall H5, Vintage Influence, in the Cool Room .

In addition to the regular zinc screw top lids I have a number of ''Flower Frog'' topped jars to make those beautiful spring flower arrangements even easier.

They flew off the stall last time so be sure to get yourself one of these ''Perfect'' jars, they won't last long!!!
