I find myself in thrift and antiques stores on a regular basis. Not just because of Giggle, though the hunt for vintage items to upcycle is one driving factor, but I also just love to hunt for those lost items that are screaming to be useful once again! I often think I should consider opening a shop to sell all those vintage finds…I’m sure my husband would be happy to see some of my treasures go! But I just can’t pass up the fact that antique stores and flea markets offer up one-of-a-kind treasures you truly can’t find anywhere else…and often times at bargain prices! So with the holidays coming, I’ve taken plenty of quick trips to the antique mall to stock up on all the necessities for my Giggle creations…and along the way you can bet I’ve spied a personal favorite or two! On my last trip I did find a sweet holiday treasure tucked away in one of my favorite booths…a Halloween bunting! I’m not really sure how old it is but the price tag made it too hard to resist! Unfortunately, since I’ve finished my decorating already I didn’t exactly have an idea of where I was going to use it! But I loved it so much I was determined to find a place to display it…and I surely did–on my garage sale bar cart! I do love to dress up my bargain cart for the seasons…it’s really easy to do without lots of effort! I’m not an expert on cart styling…in fact, I don’t really know what exactly should even go on a bar cart! But I rarely follow decorating rules anyway so I guess it doesn’t matter! Any beverages or snacks can be served from a rolling cart…it can even be used to store serving pieces too pretty to be hidden behind cupboard doors! So let me share how I styled mine for Halloween…with the help of my bar cart bunting!
