Saturday - Behind the Scenes of HDV

This past week I met with one of my favorite clients/friends, Erin.  

Erin purchased four jewelry boxes from HDV. Upon delivery of the four boxes Erin opted to buy an additional four for a total of eight, yes eight!, jewelry boxes.

I was lucky enough to spend the afternoon with Erin and her charming young son, Braden. During our time together Erin strongly encouraged me to start refurbishing large furniture. I've put great thought into upcycling furniture.  My husband and I have discussed it in length. He too has enouraged me to grow the HDV business by taking on furniture. 

 It was my husbands and Erin's amazing encouragement which brought me to purchase my first large piece of furniture.

I LOVE this piece.  Isn't it gorgeous? The curves are so sleek, retro and straight up amazing.  I have big plans for this desk... more on that next week.

Thank you, Erin, for a great time and for being such an amazing friend/client.

Work it Wednesday - Incorporating your Vintage Buys

Not long ago a high profile New York party planner, Tammy Golson, received a surprise gift from a good friend. That friend bought Tammy's fab gift from Happy Day Vintage.  

Tammy, of Tammy Golson Events, has included a picture of her Happy Day Vintage Serving tray (the three tiered white one in the pic below)in a recent blog post. Needless to say I was ECSTATIC to see this picture. I mean, who better to give an example on how to incorporate vintage treasures into everyday entertaining then a well known New York party planner?...

Personally, I love how she mixes the vintage with modern and fun pieces. Brilliant! 

Be sure to check out the rest of the Tammy Golson Events blog post. The post includes more amazing pictures by the talented Kristina Hill Photography.
