Everyone seems to be more lively in their Easter clothes and sprouting out of their houses like the plants in their garden. Easter candy fills the baskets and hunting for easter eggs is a tradition in many households. Add to your easter baskets a beautiful gift for others and yourself to enjoy. I have selected a few items that are not only beautiful, but already rich in character. As only vintage can give you. Not to forget, <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/whitepelicanboutique?ref=si_shop">White Pelican Boutique</a> has a mens gift section and Antique bird prints. Enjoy!<br />

Etsy is by far the best place to go for a huge selection. But even that can be overwhelming when you don't even have an idea of what to get that special someone. This is why I believe with a shop like <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/lookonmytreasures">Look on my Treasures</a> you will find something. Barbara is the owner of the shop and she has over 560 items available. The selection is fantastic and the prices are very budget friendly. As with any shop, there is usually a savings on shipping for orders with multiple items. If you have questions, I am sure she has the answer. Below is a small selection of what she has to offer. Click on the links below each picture to go directly to her shop. Happy browsing! </div><div><br />

First there is one thing that you do not want to be vintage, your computer. When your computer dies, things go into crisis mode. You start to realize how much you depend on your computer. <br />
We tried an iPad thinking that would be a cheaper than buying a computer. The iPad we found is a fantastic compliment, but only replaces a computers ability by 75%. The picture capability for blogging and the Etsy shop was the biggest downfall. So we had to return and purchase a computer in the end.<br />
The second thing I learned was that my phone could keep me updated on sales and communication with my buyers. But nothing much past that. I am thrilled to be back.White Pelicanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14536793267276178796noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-362344740244865605.post-36717305467616573112012-01-03T09:12:00.000-07:002012-01-03T09:12:14.822-07:00Featured Shop of the Week-Professor Tiny<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">There is a wonderful Etsy shop that has an amazing selection of vintage called, <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/ProfessorTiny?ref=seller_info">Professor Tiny</a>.

Artichokes with lemon butter are the kids favorite vegetable. We then had pork loin stuffed with a grape seed oil paste of herbs, sauteed onions and crushed garlic. Wild rice was then served on the side with a sauteed onion gravy. <br />
I made our annual Santa bread on the side. The Santa bread is easy to make. Make a large bread dough recipe and shape into Santa. I make a large recipe of bread dough out of my bread machine. Color with egg whites and red food coloring. The eyes were dried cherries, which I always have on hand. Bake and serve hot with butter. Yummy!<br />
The feast was easy to make and several items were done ahead of time. Great to have wine with and sparkling cider for the kids.<br />

This year, they made Santa's village. This is one of their favorite things to do at Christmas. So when I unveiled the village gingerbread kit, they were ready to get started. The village had tons of building for my son and lots of decorating for my daughter. I always have a gingerbread kit every year and Christmas music playing in the background. I know that this is one tradition that they will remember. I know I will!<div>Want to do this on a budget, no problem. If you pick one up now, they are on sale. I never pay full price, too expensive. This kit I picked up a Target last year after Christmas. The kits hold up with no problems. </div><div>What do you do with it after the holidays? A very hard and stall gingerbread house, you can't eat it. At the end of the holidays (Epiphany for us), we drop it out of the second story window of our house onto the driveway. The kids love to see it shatter. Are they sad? No, there will be another one next year!<br />

Make crayons and a coloring book! My daughter and I had fun making the parting gifts for her friends at her birthday party. This is easy and fun project to do together. The kids love helping and are thrilled with the end product. Best of all the project cost next to nothing to make.<br />
We gathered all the old crayons in the house, I had no idea that we had so many. Keep the old and broken crayons. Next we peeled off the paper and broke them into pieces. Then we put the broken crayons into similar color piles. We then filled mini muffin tins half full of the broken crayons. <br />
Preheat the oven to 200F. Bake the crayons until melted, keep a close eye on them. Careful when taking them out of the oven, as the crayons are a hot liquid and can easily burn. Let the mixture cool until solid before you flip the muffin tin. There you have it, a set of swirl crayons.<br />
The coloring book was a collection of free printable coloring pages. Google free printable coloring pages and the topic, ours was tea party. Then have the front cover decorated by your budding artist, add a back and string together. Now you have a custom made coloring book to go with the swirl crayons. All kids loved them and we did as well...... She had a great time making the present, I had a great time with her, and it was budget friendly!!!!<br />

</div>She provides a one of a kind experience that everyone loved. Jessica was very relaxed and warm. The kids responded very well to her. This was a highlight of the party! <br />
I know that when we save up to get the watercolor portrait done of our favorite photo, she will be the artist we pick.<br />
Jessica also has stationary and additional fine art to view. You will be pleasantly surprised at her art. Contact her about ideas you have. Even if you do not live in Colorado, check out her site. She very well might ship your items, never hurts to contact her.

So she is officially 5 years old and loving it. The party was a success and not as stressful as birthday parties in the past. This was a first for me. When I asked her what type of party she wanted, there was no hesitation. An English Tea Party was the first and only idea she had.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
So that was it, the next part was to see how many kids we would invite. We decided that a sit down tea party would be best and to use my vintage china (my past thrift store finds). At that point, I decided we could have a total of eight girls, my daughter and seven friends.<br />

We started our party preparations with the invitations. I found a large selection of free printable birthday party invitations online. She picked out her favorite and we printed them out. The next day she handed them out to her friends. You can find free invitations by googling, free printable birthday invitations. This is a great way to save money!<br />
<br />
My daughter and I had fun making the party gifts for her friends. She wanted to have a coloring book based on the tea theme. So I went and searched google for free printable coloring pages and made a coloring book. We also made crayons to go with. For me this was so much fun to do with her and she was proud of the gifts she made for her friends. She also handed out thank you pictures to her friends.<br />

</tbody></table>I then chose to host the party at home and use my vintage china and ribbons for the table. This was to keep costs down and gave the party a more personalized feel. The only thing we bought were flowers for the table, and with great luck they were on sale. She kept them later and smelled them daily.<br />

The menu was kept simple and kid friendly. I made mini fruit kabobs (berries on a toothpick), for a healthy treat and to add color to the table. I then made mini open faced turkey and cheese sandwiches and closed egg salad sandwiches. Individual dried cherry and cranberry fruit cups were next to each place setting. Then for sweets we served mini lemon poppy seed scones.<br />

When we asked her what she wanted for her birthday from mom and dad, she decided on an "experience," instead of a present. Wow, how grown up. So my husband suggested a face painter come to the party as the "experience". The neighborhood had hired a lady to do face painting for the 4th of July event. My daughter had loved it and we were impressed at the quality of work. The hardest part was keeping it a surprise. <br />

I was drawn to these following items because of their beauty. Yes they are frilly, but also have a classic romance to them. What are they? Vintage lace, what else! <br />
Vintage lace seems to have a lasting quality and charm. You can dress anything up using lace. Add to curtains, a piece of clothing, lampshade or anything else.

</tbody></table>However, the next item I personally love because I had the Charlie Brown puzzle as a kid. In fact, I still have it and both my kids used this puzzle when they were younger. So I can say with certainty that this is a wonderful find. There are five puzzles that are being sold as a set. Even better. Here are a few pictures of the set. You have to get it while it lasts, because his items sell quickly!!!!!<div><br />

There is so many benefits to using vintage china either for special occasions or everyday. There is the obvious, how beautiful they are and the detail that you do not find anymore. </div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Another chip or scratch goes with the rest of the flaws. I personally love to mix and match my pieces. This way you are not limited to just one pattern or style. This is easy to do with vintage and actually looks better than a "perfect set". </div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">At our house the kids like to actually set the table when they get to pick out which plate they want. The table looks beautiful and unique. We use the plates and other items on the back deck in the garden, no plastic in this house. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Vintage china is also more affordable and of better quality. You can start with a small collection and add as you see a piece or two. In this economy you want to get good quality for a fair price. Vintage china gives you that and a beautiful table setting in return. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Yes I have not been blogging for awhile and there are many reasons for that. Besides time getting away from me this summer, inspiration has been the reason. You see I do love vintage. Look in my house and there is no doubt about it. The items that I covet from my mothers house are filled with vintage charm and history. Going to the everyday store, no thank you, not interested. But life is more than just vintage and this year more than any, I have realized that. <br />
You see I am not able to just be edited in my blog about vintage. Life is too complicated for that and I simply want to write what comes to me. Vintage, being a mom, financial struggles, being a wife and me going on 40. This is just the tip of the ice burg. I have found that my quest for a simpler, happy life includes many conquests and struggles. Don't get me wrong, I will get there. But why not document my journey. If others chose to follow my life, wonderful. <br />
Will there be vintage topics? YES YES and YES!!!!!! I love vintage and this will not go away. The feature of the week in my shop will continue. My ETSY shop will continue as well and I hope, expand.<br />
My blog will be about so much more and I know that I am making the right decision, it just feels right. I am the women behind the White Pelican Boutique and there is so much more to me than a shop owner.<br />

VintageI wanted to write a blog about this wonderful gal named Samantha. She has a <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/smellyshoesvintage">shop</a> at Etsy full of fantastic vintage wears for the everyday. Vintage apparel, accessories, shoes and even decor. With over 300 items to choose from, you are sure to find something that you love. Sometimes you need a little something fun and funky, this is the place to go. She is very friendly and easy to talk to. So ask her any questions you have. <div>I picked a few of my favorites and hope this gives you a teaser of what her <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/smellyshoesvintage">shop</a> has to offer. With over 300 items, it is best for you to see for yourself! Not many Etsy shops can give you that kind of a selection. Have fun browsing and shopping! http://www.etsy.com/shop/smellyshoesvintage<br />

I know I do and really love these. It was hard to list them in my <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/whitepelicanboutique">shop</a>, but I figured I have to be good. They are wonderful to display on their own, but make a fantastic statement as a collection. The rustic wood, touch of metal combined with the vintage wool thread give a richness to them. I love the idea of displaying something industrial rustic in something smooth and polished like the milk glass footed bowl. All the spindles and the milk glass footed bowl are available at the <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/whitepelicanboutique">White Pelican Boutique</a>. Contact me for combined and international shipping rates, usually substantially lower. <br />

They are still young enough to go along with mom's ideas. My son who is older, still likes the way his room is. Yes the vintage baby items are gone in his room, sad. But cool big kid vintage has moved in. I love the look of vintage decor and decorate my house with it as much as I can. I am not a big fan of buying new and never have been. The character of vintage and antique is unique, intriguing and wonderful. Here are a few items from my <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/whitepelicanboutique">shop</a>, they are vintage decor pieces inspired by children. These items can go from a nursery to a child's room, shabby chic, farm house, cottage and so much more. Take a look and browse at the items for sale at the <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/whitepelicanboutique">White Pelican Boutique</a>. Enjoy my blog? Love to have more followers!<br />
