Spring at Sophisticated Vintage - Florida

It was about this time of year, back in the Sophisticated Vintage - Chestertown days, that Ellen and I began planning our Spring windows and look, each of us bringing in new finds and objects to add just the "punch" to kick off a new season.

I find myself feeling the pull toward launching a fresh look and mix, so have been working diligently in the Etsy shop to present some special (if I may say so myself) treasures. This will give you an idea! Follow the links in the description to go directly to the Etsy listing. Happy Spring!


Vintage tole compote - perfect for display, a garden party, a wine chiller (and yes, I have round and roller pin floats, just email info@sophisticatedvintage.com)

Vintage oak Captains Bar box with silverplate cups inside

Modern pottery - Roger Capron mid century decanters (two!), Italian animal figural pitchers (lion and hippo), Italian de Simone teapot (and a terrific jug too!)

A fabulous authentic patent model for a wash boiler (original paperwork included) - use it for wine, plants...

Stunning gilded container - it has hooks to hang so perhaps it was originally a lantern but I love it as a vase, an ice bucket, with a candle...

A monumental turquoise glass stopper - a wonderfully fun object to add a pop of color anywhere

Antique French "Coiffeur" (hair stylist or barber) sign, a modern wicker hat display stand, a "French" bank 'Pour Les Vetements" (for the clothing), sweet miniature frames

Little zinc pots - lovely for herbs, as vases, in the garden. . .

It's been great fun hunting for these! Thanks for being along on the ride! - Marilyn
