Man-tiques

We love to see what you have done with your new treasures.  Here's one that we are so excited to share.  One of our customers, Collin, purchased this beautiful old wooden campaign desk months back.  Look what he has done with it.

Isn't it fabulous? He added industrial legs to the desk and found the PERFECT antique stool for it. So cool and industrial!  Nice job Collin!  Thanks for sharing your photos! 

Here it is before.  What a clever idea to add legs and make it a permanent desk. 

What have you done with your Tattered Tiques? We would love to share them at the shop with everyone.  Shoot us an email with an attached photo if you'd like to share.  You can reach us at tatteredtiques@gmail.com. 

Happy Sunday! 

 

This week at the shop

We have had such a rush on mom's burlap runner's, she had to make a ton more for this week's sale.  We are so pleased you are all as fond of them as we are.  They are so versatile and so, so cute! 

These are the few I snagged for a photo op.

We still have a few bags of snowballs left at the shop.  They look so cute in a bowl.

I love these tall candles.  I find so many reasons to use vintage keys and sheet music.  They are two of our favorite things to use.

 
I know, you've seen this done a million times, but I couldn't resist.  They are just so cute!  The glass balls we used have a slight iridescence to them, and they are really quite pretty.  As you can see, Boom Boom really likes them too. 

Nosey cat!  He ended up in 21 of my pictures.  He refused to get off the table.

I love wrapping gifts in brown paper and then personalizing it with fun things on top.  We hope you do too.  We have quite a few rolls ready to go, and tons of ideas for the top.  How about a zinc letter tied on with red and white baker's twine? Or maybe green plaid ribbon with a glittered letter tag on top.  You could even put a pretty ornament tied up on top. 

We are open again this weekend.  So come up and see us.  22029 N. Pepper Road, Unit 2, Lake Barrington, IL.  Thursday 10-5, Friday 10-5, Saturday 10-3.
