A Vintage New Year 2014!

Welcome to my vintage New Year 2014!

I hope all of you are looking forward to the New Year... I know I am! 

New beginnings and Resolutions, speaking of which... have you been thinking of what yours will be? 

I have a few in mind for myself. 

It is always hard analyzing yourself for improvements and then making goals to get there. 

Well, it is for me anyways. 

I would like for everything to just stay the same and never change. 

But life is full of changes and therefore new beginnings and new goals.

 I found a quote for 2014 I wanted to share: 
"She turned her cant's into cans and her dreams into plans".

This is a picture of the vintage shelf I hung above my couch. I recently did this for Holidays to display more of my vintage finds. I made the vintage sheet music by hanging them from twine and stenciling the birds onto the sheets with black paint.  

I made this New Year sign from brown paper by tracing a circular object from home {For example a bowl}. I then cut it out and glued these letters I purchased onto it. I then glued garland around the outside and added a vintage broach to the middle. 

I placed this vintage postcard,sheet music, and lantern in this antique tin box. I am not sure if this is a cigar box or what it is exactly...Please comment below if you know what it could be.

  

This is a vintage postcard I found that has the calendar month January 1895 displayed on it. It is titled 

"Children from Many Lands" 

It says," A dreary place would be this earth 

Were there no little people in it,

The song of life would lose its mirth, 

Were there no children to begin it".

This is a vintage book That reads "A New Future" I thought that was suitable to display for New Years.

I have left my tree up for the past couple of New Years and I leave just my gold and white ornaments on it. I made these numbers 2014 and pinned them to the tree. On the top I place a clock I made out of brown paper with garland around it! 

The New Years sign is a chalkboard I made out of a vintage mirror by taking the mirror out and spraying the back with chalkboard paint. I displayed a mercury hurricane candle holder and vintage book wrapped with twine then added a tag with 2014 written on it. This lays on a vintage mirror tray.

The midnight kisses are Hershey's Kisses I displayed in these vintage wine glasses. I seen this cute and clever idea on Pinterest.  Please see my prior blog for New Years Eve Party Ideas!

I hope you have a Great Day!
