Venturing into Vintage Rental

On a small scale, I'm planning to venture into the vintage rental business in the upcoming year.  I have so many pieces that I love, cannot use in my smaller home, but I cannot bring myself to sell. Why not offer them for rent for events or photography shoots?  My first step is to inventory my pieces and get some marketing photos scheduled.  

Reclaimed Dresser Drawer Wedding Card Holder

I found this old dresser drawer, added reclaimed legs from an old table that was made into a coffee table, metal drawer pulls and pretty papers for lining. Makes a unique wedding card holder for a vintage style wedding, don't you think?

Jeweled Frames for Wedding Reception

I did a custom order of upcycled vintage frames for a client to use for table numbers at her wedding reception. She was kind enough to send pictures of them in use. Thanks Caroline! Frames were painted silver and distressed, then vintage rhinestone pieces bonded to the frames.

For The Vintage Wedding

I'm delighted to participate in Angelic Accents wedding blog party  (just click on the link on the sidebar to visit lovely participating blogs) - I chose a few photos of vintage wedding inspiration:

Vintage Style Wedding Favor Boxes

I just finished these and listed them in my Etsy shop. They could be used as gift boxes for bridesmaids' gifts, or little favors. I used sheet music images which I reduced in size to cover boxes, tied them up with sheer nylon ribbons (which is actually the stuff used in sewing to stabilize armholes - LOL - so pretty though), and vintage ring cake toppers. Only a set of 5 - I don't like to do large quantities of anything - that gets monotonous and stifles my creativity *smile*.
