Show Us Your Home!

DIY projects in MY apartment featuring vintage postcards and mementos. Check out my apartment tour in March!

Do you have a fabulously decorated vintage home? Do you want to show off your interior decorating skills to the world? Juxtapose Vintage is putting together a March blog series on AMAZING vintage decor from readers like you! Each week in March we will be featuring home tours from one or two (or more!) great looking retro-inspired homes and apartments to spike your inspiration for the Spring season.

Interested? Read on!

If you're residing around the St. Louis area, we can arrange to swing by and photograph your house, for free! Or, if you are outside of our area (or just feel more comfortable), you can snap the photos yourself and send them our way. Each home tour featured on the blog will receive a $25 credit in the shop and a blog post showing off your amazing design skills. For more information, or to let us know you're interested, e-mail us at juxtaposevintage@gmail.com!

Let's start Spring off with great decorating inspiration!

Upcoming: Green With Indie Craft Show

Green With Indie Craft Show @ Webster University, March 9th

We're just under a month away from our next event! Juxtapose Vintage will be participating in this year's Green With Indie Craft Show. Each year, the St. Louis Craft Mafia pulls together some of the BEST local, eco-friendly, and sustainable vendors to take part in this show... and we were selected! Juxtapose is honored to be part of the lineup this year and we have been working extremely hard scouring sales and bins to find a great selection to bring to shoppers on March 9th at Webster University's Grant Gym. We have also been putting together our line of re-purposed housewares that we will be introducing that day!
Here at Juxtapose Vintage we believe in reinvention and finding new uses for things of the past. We love to breathe new life into forgotten pieces and find a new purpose for materials. It's important to us to reuse materials rather than buying new and recycle them into the world!
So why don't you sneak a little peek into what we've been up to while getting ready for the Green With Indie Craft Show:

New Event! Handmade Happy Hour - Sweetheart Edition

Support your community, shop small and local!

St. Louis' Handmade Happy Hour is always one of my favorite events. Each month Lindsay Pattan of Miss Ohio Vintage and Heartland Underdog curates a crop of extremely talented indie handmade and locally sourced vendors in a family friendly shopping environment. She showcases some of St. Louis' finest talent at some of the best locally run restaurants to encourage everyone to support their community.

Having been a part of Handmade Happy Hour since the beginning (with working with MOV), I have seen the success and growth that it has made in showing that St. Louis has some of the best and most talented individuals when it comes to handmade and vintage products. By shopping small and from these vendors, you are helping to pay bills, buy food, and promote creativity and a dream.

And on February 1st, Juxtapose Vintage will be at Home Wine Kitchen for the second annual Handmade Happy Hour - Sweetheart Edition! Come out and see us and all of the other amazing vendors while enjoying Home Wine Kitchen's delicious (and locally sourced) food. Stay for a drink, or stay for dinner! (Reservations are encouraged, contact Home for details)

Event Details
What: Handmade Happy Hour - Sweetheart Edition
When: February 1, 2013; 5p-9p

Hope you can make it out!

New Year, New Listings!

Drunken Night Lamp Post Bar Light on Etsy.

It's 2013. It's a New Year, it's a fresh start, and it's definitely time for more new listings! While we are only a few weeks into this adventure, the fresh start of a new year is always a good time to brag about the new items listed on the Juxtapose Etsy shop. My partner (and mother) hit the jackpot this last weekend on her hunt to bring you all a new crop of items. And let me tell you... she delivered! Recently added to the shop was a LOT more teak serving sets (we sold out of ALL of our bowls at last month's Gentleman's Emporium), more decanters (also sold out!), and a new batch of Pyrex. That's not to say we didn't add a whole lot more, but that's just the start of it!

With the New Year, we're both excited about all of the estate sales and treasure hunts that are around the corner, as well as all the new opportunities! This year we are looking to expand the Etsy shop to include more re-purposed goods (I have a LOT of ideas up my sleeve), as well as continue to make the craft fair and locally sourced circuit. In December we had the privilege of participating in the aforementioned Gentleman's Emporium, brought to you by Handmade Happy Hour, one of St. Louis' finest locally sourced events. In the coming months we hope to be participating in many more of those, as well as a few other ones that we should be announcing soon!

In the meantime, make sure that you're keeping a weekly eye on our Etsy shop, for all of the newest arrivals! They will be posted every weekend on either Saturday or Sunday! And keep a look out here and on the Juxtapose Vintage Facebook page for updates on events and listings!

To much more fun in 2013!
