I've missed you guys! What a crazy few weeks! Some great things going on and some not so great.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Great... we moved into an adorable new house with much more space for our friends, our family and of course my dishes.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

Not so great... Shawn's grandpa passed away. It was very sad to lose him but celebrating his life with family was very special. His mom came into town from NJ and even with the sad circumstance we made the best of her visit. She was able to meet my parents and best friends for the first time and see both the apartment building we own and our new place. I think we are closer to talking her into moving to Dallas too.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Great... TVD supplied dishes for a sweet shower this past weekend and booked a HUGE wedding for October. The shower hostess lives just a few blocks from our new place so I was able to meet a neighbor in the process. She was nice enough to share some photos with me. The serving pieces are not mine but I wish they were.</div>

Here's to hoping the next month brings all great things for us all.</div>

</div>
<br />
I'm always on the hunt for vintage dishes so when I saw there were 4 thrift stores in Fredericksburg I knew I'd find the time to at least check out a few. While Mere was preparing a delish brunch for us before we hit up the wineries, Michelle and I hit up the F'burg Goodwill and the Hill Country Memorial Hospice Thrift Store. The GW was a flop but Chelle and I found some great things at the HCMH shop. <br />
<br />
Here are my finds plus a few pics of dishes we've added to TVD's inventory...<br />

As the group "travel agent" I was in charge of finding the perfect place to call home for the weekend. On the recommendation of a friend from college I searched <a href="http://www.absolutecharm.com/" target="_blank">Absolute Charm Luxury Bed and Breakfasts</a> and found <a href="http://www.absolutecharm.com/AugustsHausMain.html" target="_blank">Augusta's Haus.</a> It was perfect!

The first day we were there we explored Main Street. We started early at the biergarten sampling our fair share of local brews and had lunch (and 2 bottles of wine) at <a href="http://www.fredericksburgherbfarm.com/" target="_blank">Herb Farm</a>, a great cafe, shop and of course, herb farm a few blocks off the beaten path. <br />

Touring a handful of wineries was already on the itinerary but Meredith surprised us with a limo! It was a blast! We shared the tour with 3 sisters who were in town celebrating the oldest's birthday. We couldn't have chosen better car mates. They were a blast! (unfortunately, I didn't get any pics of the limo or wineries and my girlfriends haven't had a chance to share theirs.)<br />
<br />
We will definitely make a trip back to Fredericksburg. I hope sooner than later.<br />

The list of creative ways to use teacups and saucers for your next party is basically endless! I started thinking about all the ways these gorgeous little vessels could be used after TVD provided 30 for a baby shower this past weekend. They served lemon mousse in the mismatched tea cups which I think is genius! I told the hostess I thought so and also told her I was totally going to rip off the idea for the next baby shower I host which just so happens to be the first weekend of August.<br />
<br />
Here are some great photos for inspiration and also a few pics of a small portion of TVD's teacup collection. (We have about 120 cup and saucer pairs)<br />

It's back... <a href="http://www.theswoonevent.com/" target="_blank">The Swoon</a>, a creative wedding market + party!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We had such a wonderful time as a vendor at the first Swoon in February. In addition to meeting 100's of fabulous Dallas brides we were able to network with super talented Dallas wedding professionals who we have had the great privilege of working with.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you love weddings that are a little quirky, unique, vintage, handmade, one of a kind, local and just down-right pretty this is the wedding market for you! </div>

Saturday was my mom's birthday and we spent the day "junking". Of course. It's one of our favorite things to do together. Sadly, she didn't find a single thing she had to have. I found quite a few great additions to the TVD collections and even a few things for my humble abode.</div>

When we talk about dinner and a show 'round these parts we are usually referring to grabbing a bite at a Tex-Mex restaurant or BBQ joint before catching a movie or concert. That makes for a pretty good date night but for our 3 year anniversary we were shooting for a pretty-freaking-amazing date night and we nailed it! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Our anniversay is July 12th and it just so happened that it was also opening night of <a href="http://www.jerseyboysinfo.com/tour/index.html" target="_blank">Jersey Boys</a> at the <a href="http://www.attpac.org/" target="_blank">AT&T Performing Arts Center</a>. Since my boy IS a Jersey boy it was perfect. This is the first time either of us had seen a show at the AT&T PAC and it was amazing! The building and accoustics are phenomenal and the show was outstanding. If you have the opportunity you need to see it!</div>

A wedding was not the only thing we celebrated this past month. Lizzy's remarkable boyfriend, Etienne finished med school in Holland. This dude is such a dream! He took his last class and almost immediately jumped on a plane and traveled over 12 hours to make it to town in time to work his tail off helping prep for Bev's big day.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I didn't want this huge accomplishment to be overlooked so I planned a little surprise dinner at our favorite Tex-Mex restaurant, <a href="http://www.mattstexmex.com/" target="_blank">Matt's El Rancho</a> in Allen. E thought we were just meeting up for a family dinner as we do everytime he and Liz come back to Texas. Well, when he walked in he was suprised to see family and friends, a cake, a gift and us all in costume.</div>

The first week of June my family embarked on a whirlwind month of celebrating (and working our tails off for) my baby sister, Beverly's wedding. We kicked off the festivities with her lingerie shower/bachelorette party. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
As I've mentioned before, Bev is not your typical bride. She's not your typical anything really which is one of my favorite things about her. Bev was not down for the shot-induced, penis straw and condom veil all-nighter (thank the lord!) so we decided on a small lingerie shower with a French poodle theme. Below are all <em>des détails...</em>Ooh-la-la!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
(Side note: Growing up Bev had a poodle named Tiffany. Technically, that was her name but we all just called her "Poodle" or "Stinky" or if she was really prissing around "Princess Poodlecup". Since then Bev has been borderline obsessed with all things poodle so the theme was perfect for her and she LOVED it!)</div>

A few weeks ago Jen Rios with <a href="http://www.jenriosdesign.com/" target="_blank">Jen Rios Design</a> asked if I would like to provide dishes for a farm-to-table inspired engagement photo shoot she was styling. Heck yes I did! After talking a little about her vision we decided on a fab dinner/salad plate combo that went with the earthy, rustic aesthetic she was shooting for. Unfortunately, I didn't get to attend the actual shoot due to maid of honor duties so I have been dying to see how it all came together. When I got an email today from Teresa at <a href="http://www.lightboxtg.com/" target="_blank">Lightbox Photography</a>, the super talented photographer who captured the magic I just about squealed.</div>

I love, love, love everything about this engagement! It just exudes warmth, sweetness and simple elegance. <br />
<br />
It was such an honor and a pleasure to be included with some of the best in the wedding biz in DFW. Thanks so much for including me and TVD. Can't wait to work with you all again!<br />

My BFF, Christie made the brilliant suggestion that I organize my posts about all the events of the week (10 days, technically) leading up to my sister's wedding in chronological order and share them with you the week after. Genius! Well, I kind of dropped the ball on the week after part but I've finally gotten my thoughts together (and caught up on much needed sleep) so new blog posts will be rolling out over the next few days.</div>

<div style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
This past Saturday I had the privilege of hosting a couples' wedding shower for my baby sister, Bev and her husband-to-be, Kyle. It's quite possible they are the cutest and most loving couple in the history of the world. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
There is also a strong possibility they are one of the quirkiest. From the way they met to their proposal to the plans they have for their upcoming wedding and honeymoon they have broken the mold and done things their way. Since they are not your average couple, an average shower just wouldn't do. No sir-e-Bob. So, I took it upon myself to throw one helluva shower in their honor. Check out the details below...</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I can't believe 2 weeks have passed since <a href="http://www.theswoonevent.com/" target="_blank">The Swoon Event</a>! It was a total blast and I couldn't have asked for a better first bridal market experience. The quests were fabulous and the other vendors were all super talented, friendly and most importantly really supportive. TVD made a ton of new friends! (More on that to come.)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Since this was my first attempt at creating a booth for a bridal show I didn't know what to expect but I think it turned out beautifully! My boy was the perfect assistant. He even helped a number of other vendors carry supplies in from their cars. He was kind of every one's boyfriend that afternoon... he came home with me though.</div>
<br />
My dear friend, Emily with <a href="http://www.paninicakes.com/" target="_blank">Panini Bakery</a> and <a href="http://www.jamjarsweets.com/" target="_blank">Jam Jar Sweets</a> made a gorgeous French blue "dummy" cake for my display. The girl is an angel rock star baking machine!<br />

We love to know where you are from in case we might know someone from the same small town or county. It's an instant connection and can offer more to talk about if there is any gossip to share. Only good natured gossip, of course like who's married to who or who is having babies or got a terrible new hair color... bless her heart.<br />
<br />
Since we love to talk about where we're from TVD thought offering a collection of state souvenir plates was a natural fit for southern get-togethers. (I'm hosting a road trip themed couples shower for my baby sister in a few weeks and this collection will be the star of the show! I'll share more about that later.) Use these beauties as table markers... Table New York or Connecticut for your fiance's Yankee cousins, Alabama or Louisiana for your SEC college friends and Hawaii to hint to the folks where you'd like to honeymoon.<br />
<br />
If nothing else, they will be conversation starters and the simply urge the question... where y'all from?<br />

Drinking green beer on the front lawn of prime "M Streets" real estate and heckling those not-so-lucky folks who have to park and walk to the biggest block party of the year in the Big D. Since tomorrow is St. Patrick's Day I'm going to attribute the unexpected stroke of luck I was gifted today to the luck of the Irish. That and the fact that some day soon I will have the last name McGeeney. <br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
After a great lunch with my dad I was headed to work on some things for TVD and I spotted an estate sale sign. I can not bypass an estate sale. It's against my nature. The sale was tucked back in a unique little cove of patio homes just north of Downtown. These properties were built in the late 1970's and 80's and aren't much to look at so I wasn't really expecting much from the sale. Good thing because I was a bust. But here's where that Irish luck comes in. As I was leaving the neighborhood I saw a sign for a moving sale and decided to stop in. I'm not a big moving/garage/yard sale fan because they typically aren't selling the things I'm looking for. The garage to this property was open so I started there and found the find of all finds...</div>

This silver ice bucket for $0.10!!! Ten freaking cents!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I also got 3 apothecary jars, 5 antique ink wells, 2 vintage tea canisters, a Pyrex measuring cup, 2 corked spice jars, a bone china saucer and a tiny cobalt blue vase all for $0.10 each. That's a whopping $1.60. Talk about finding a pot of gold! Err... silver.</div>

I hope some of my luck rubs off on you this weekend and beyond. Have a very happy, safe and fun St. Patrick's Day! Erin go Bragh! </div>

Telling your kids you prefer one over the others can cause all sorts of emotional problems down the road. I won't do that to my babies... err dishes.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Anyway, I'm constantly on the hunt for gorgeous pieces to add to all of the TVD collections. Estate sales, thrift shops, my grandmothers' attic are all game. Over the past few weeks I've found some amazing new pretties. Check some of them out below...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I was thrilled to shower such a sweet mommy-to-be and to share some of my favorite pieces from our ever-expanding collection.</div><br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">Christie and Nancy are 2 of the funniest people I know and their personalities were on major display at the shower.. from the invitation to the shower game. The theme was "Nerd Alert". Christie designed the invitation and asked guests to bring books instead of cards to enhance Baby Brayden's library... such a smarty pants already. She DIY'ed the cutest bookmark goodie bag favors filled with Nerds, of course and baby appropriate twists to some classic titles. "Love in the Time of Colic" is a real page turner.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Which should be an easy feat... everyone I know is expecting!</div>The Vintage Dishhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12535553215559045531noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8325547053047685798.post-38056163583841076392012-03-03T20:05:00.000-08:002012-03-03T20:05:31.063-08:00Everyone needs a plan...Hiya friends!<br />
<br />
It's been WAY too long since I've posted. 29 days too long to be precise. So, in an effort to be more organized and timely in this blog writing business I decided I'm going to write a minimum of 3 posts per week. These 3 posts will follow the same format each week and if anything new or noteworthy comes up I'll add that into the rotation as a bonus. Woohoo! I'll be rolling out this new plan Monday so stay tuned.The Vintage Dishhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12535553215559045531noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8325547053047685798.post-60783621010128542692012-02-02T20:59:00.000-08:002012-02-02T20:59:44.641-08:00Don't Tell Me, You Went to High School Together...I am often teased that I must have gone to high school with at least half the population of Texas for how often I run into people from my alma mater. It's beyond coincidence, really. <br />
<br />
The best example...<br />
- 2004: Apartment hunting in NYC at an open house with my roommate from Pittsburgh and our broker. I comment on how amazing it would be to have a "real" closet when from the living room a voice shouts "Angie Parker? Is that you?" Why yes it is! A girl who graduated a year after me is looking at the same apartment, at the same time in a city of over 8 million people and 1,500 miles away from my home town. (Side note : We got the apartment and the closet was amazing. The air mattress I slept on for a year was not.)<br />
<br />
The most recent example...<br />
- 2012: A few months ago my girlfriends, Miley and Caroline of <a href="http://www.easyslidertruck.com/">Easy Slider Food Truck</a> told me about a bridal market they had been invited to participate in... <a href="http://www.theswoonevent.com/">The Swoon Event</a>. These two are complete dolls and have been SUPER supportive of The Vintage Dish (TVD) and encouraged me to look into the event. I finally got around to emailing the event coordinator and wouldn't you know it... I went to high school with her!<br />
<br />
Well, I signed up and TVD is an official vendor. The Swoon is going to be an amazing bridal market featuring local businesses offering products and services geared towards weddings and all things bridal. I couldn't be more thrilled that my first market is with great friends from Easy Slider and MHS. Go Lions!<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"> </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We like our men tall, thin and goofy; our tea iced and sweet; and we LOVE to “junk”. </span></div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span>In our clan “junking” involves scouring estate sales, thrift stores, flea markets and anywhere else forgotten treasures can be found. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These treasures are then cleaned, used, repurposed, gifted and basically given another chance at greatness. We don’t have actual proof but are pretty certain it’s a genetic condition passed down from mother to daughter.</span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> (My future husband, not technically my fiancé yet but I will let you know the second he pops the question, is praying for only male children to stop the madness.) </i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The basic symptoms of the “condition” are the same but the form in which it presents itself can be different… my mom and I are into dishes and linens, my youngest sister is a retro lighting enthusiast, my aunt can’t pass up a vintage bag or dress and my grandmother is all about<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>antique furniture.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">With an antique store, consignment shop, vintage clothing boutique and estate sale services shared amongst them my grandmother, mom and aunt have all successfully built and run businesses that were fed buy our “condition”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Vintage Dish is my jump into the family business. It was born out of the desire to style a vintage inspired wedding for myself and grew, with the encouragement of friends and family into an opportunity to share my bevy of beauties with brides and hostesses wanting to create a memorable, eclectic, vintage aesthetic for that special gathering.</span></div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span>Welcome to The Vintage Dish… DISHES!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m thrilled you’re here and I hope you will come back often.</span><br />
