Bell Jar Vintage

Today was where our local downtown businesses participate by decorating or carving pumpkins and have fun activities for adults and kids! This year I decided to not carve but use to dress up the pumpkins. I painted the biggest one black and used 4 different sizes of googley eyes. For one of the smaller pumpkins, I cut two holes in a crocheted doily for a ghost. And the other small pumpkin was a mummy with vintage cheesecloth wrapped around. Simple. Fun. Vintage. And they sat outside our 60's inspired Groovy Halloween window! Lots of items are moving around inside the shop, too! Stop in to see what's new {old}!

Happy Friday! We've got all the Fall feels. And some downright lovely additions to barware, home decor and jewelry. Come shop aisle downtown Geneva this weekend!

Loving the cooler temps! Looking forward to a busy weekend as downtown Geneva celebrates Festival of the Vine.
Here's a few new items - rare lavender Haeger pottery statue, sweet Bing & Grondahl and Royal Copenhagen pieces.

Lots of new vintage in every corner and on every table! New {old} Fall! 🌻🍁 New {vintage} colorful glass. 🌈 New {mid-century} barware. 🥃 New {costume and sterling silver} jewelry 💍.

Time are speeding up. Dog days of summer are behind us. School has started for most. The shop is getting filled with Fall vibes. 🍁🍎🍃🍂

Back to School! Plus beautiful new additions of Fenton, Westmorland and TROLLS 🥰. So much fun wherever you look. It's going to be a beautiful weekend in downtown Geneva!

We were debating doing a beach window or a wedding window, when a customer said she's planning her destination wedding on the beach. 💡Perfect! And so here's the beach wedding window. Ta-Da! 🏖💍🏝💒🐚👰💐🐚🌊⛱

Happy 4th of July! We are closed today to celebrate with family. We will be open again tomorrow!

Oh boy! We changed it up again! June is prime time for strawberries. We have strawberries for days! And a new picnic window, too.

Happy June! School's out for summer! And we're thinking about spending time outdoors, weddings and of course, Father's Day!

Yesterday I got to go to one of my happy places! ! I drove in a torrential downpour but no matter! I knew it would be worth it. Miss Jamie is one of the most authentic, coolest, kindest farm girls you will ever meet. And her "rubbish" is simply the best. I cannot wait to go through my treasures to see what I'm keeping or selling. Thank you, Jamie, for the rain-dodging, the dry barn, the real conversations, the women-supporting-women, the friendship, and the fantastic shopping. It filled my soul better than any medicine. ❤️

Ready for the weekend! Looked like it's going to be beautiful weather - which means a shopping trip to downtown Geneva might be a perfect plan! Stop in and say Hi!

I've not been good about posting lately! Lots of vibrant colors all around the shop these days! I'll try to take some individual photos soon. We've got some really fun, hard to find pieces arriving.
