Monthly Feature at the Queen

Happy October my vintage peeps, it's Sarah from {Home-ology} modern vintage here to feature another great dealer from one of the Queen of Hearts three locations.

Hasn't the weather been absolutely beautiful lately?  It's crisp and clear, the smell of autumn has filled the air, and watching the falling leaves whirl to the ground as they say goodbye to summer makes this a glorious time of year.

And, if you're anything like me, your nesting instincts have kicked into full gear.  I'm not talking of simply moving a tschoske or two, but that overwhelming desire to do full room overhauls and bring out the multitudes of throws, pillows, and seasonal "fluff" that is somehow required for the winter months to come.  My need to embellish my home has become prevalent in all that I do.

Are you guys feelin' what I'm throwin' down?  Actually, I'm convinced it's a genetic thing we all do in preparation for the cold dark months ahead.  That's my story...

Anyhoo, my need to nest has definitely been in full gear over the past few weeks.  Perhaps that's why this beautiful bird cage caught my eye the other day while I was in the Queen's Alpharetta store. 

Hmmm, nesting/birdcage...  I see a trend here.

This one is a beautiful example of the 1930's Hollywood Regency style.  The Chinese pagoda design is exquisite.  Such a unique find.

I can't get over the details and the fine craftmanship.

It's been painted many times over the years and has a beautiful patina.

Oh, hello Mr. Birdie!  I really like the quatrefoil motif on your abode.

I'm totally smitten with this birdcage.

And the stand is as well thought out as the rest of the piece.

Absolutely beautiful all on its own.  But I also envision it filled with sparkling lights during the holidays and filled with mossy green plants during the summer or perhaps a cloche covered living terrarium.

This beautiful birdcage was spotted in ZEBRA's booth.  ZEBRA has an end cap between Church Street & East Bay, and it's filled with a wonderful array of beauties.  She always has a great selection of painted pieces.  I'm currently coveting her beautiful collection of vintage bark cloth. {Why didn't I ever learn to sew?}

There is so much vintage goodness in her booth.  I once had an opportunity to speak to ZEBRA while she was busily adding new inventory.  If I remember correctly, she used to have a shop of her own.  You can tell by her inventory that she has a real eye for quality pieces of vintage & antiques.  If you haven't visited ZEBRA's booth, make it a point to do so the next time you're in.  You'll appreciate her eye for beautiful finds, and perhaps take a piece home for yourself!

Stay spooky!
xo,
Sarah
