Wonderful World of Vintage Kitchen

I absolutely love Vintage Kitchens.  When I lived in the Midwest I had many pieces that I used on a daily basis (from the table to the cookbooks) and my kitchen truly felt like a blast from the past.  I think that my kitchen was always one of the most comfortable rooms in the house and to have the warmth and charm of vintage pieces was so fitting. Here is a great collection from my shops, I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

Today's Pacific Postcards Team (PPT Team) Meet and Greet features Jenny and Lauren owners of The $5 French Market (ETSY ID) 5DollarFrenchMarket, where you will be able to find beauty and romance for $5.00.  Jenny and Lauren have been members of the PPT Team since April 2011.

The 5DollarFrenchMarket does not sell the actual postcards but utilizes the images from them on pillows, sachets, journals and much more.

Create Book Shelves

I am always looking for classy ways to upcycle vintage items or to use collectibles that start to accumulate. I also want only those projects that fit appropriately in a classy home setting. I really love this idea with old books, it actually looks very classy and would fit perfect in someones library or den. I enjoy old books so much but since the Nook and those like it have come out people are not as interested in the hard copies. I personally rather read it from a book and physically hold onto the item but I am older and this is a new age. I hope you find this as cool a project as I did.
