House of Vintage

A few days ago my bestie and I went out of town for a little junking and a trip to Ikea.  I found this great little glass greenhouse at Ikea and thought it was cute for a little vintage vignette.


Everything looks more important when under glass,
don't you think?  


I filled it with romantic things
since this is the month of love.



Thanks for stopping by.

That little green glass house is adorable. I can't believe IKEA has them. Super cute. And love that you have filled it with such wonderful goodies.
Love is definitely in the air at your home.
I am still working on my Valentine's Day tree.
Will share once it is done.

I've been to IKEA many times and have never even seen those little glass houses. You have such an eye for finding the "good" stuff and putting it together in such a charming way.

This makes a most Beautiful Vignette... and I would agree, under Glass everything always looks more interesting and important... this is probably why I'm a huge Fan of Cloches, mini-Greenhouses & Terrariums.

This is so cool & your sooooo right, everything DOES look more important under glass. Great idea, I may be taking a trip to my local Ikea here soon, but I wish I had your doll so I could put it in my display, she's wonderful!
Hugs,
Susie

Hello dear! It's so delightful here! Your space is so lovely! Love vintage and all related to it. I have a doll my mother gave me some time ago and I love it so much. It's a baby, a perfect baby made with china?, crockery? (I don't know exactly the word :D ).Love your space, my dear, and all the sweet inspirations you share with us! Lots of kisses, Rachel :)

Ann said...

Just found your blog, this glass house is wonderful. The contents are fabulous and do speak to love. The doll is gorgeous. I'm going to be looking around here and becoming a folower.

**CREATIVE CARMELINA** said...

Oh yes....I love this idea....!
and I don't know what it is....but I totally agree that it does look important under glass....

it makes you feel like what you're looking at must be precious because it cannot be touched....only admired!

Your vignette within the glass walls is stunning! Well done!
