Knick of Time Tuesday #67

Welcome back to Knick of Time Tuesday.
I'm glad you came by to ring in the New Year with me!

 

Before we start the party, I wanted to share

this wonderful 100 year old New Year's image that came 

from the cover of  a 1913 Comfort magazine.  

It's quite tattered and worn, but after

100 years, that's to be expected.  I love it!

This cover was generously sent to me by

Audrey @ Timeless Treasures, so be sure

to hop over and thank her!

Here's the original cover before I cropped the image.

Now, it's time to see what vintage style
you blogged about this week, and get this party started!

You are welcome to link to your shop,
as long as they are vintage items (over 20 years).

Have you added my NEW button to your post or sidebar?
Please do so before you link up.
You've gotta have the link be featured.

If you plan to pin any of these images to Pinterest, 
PLEASE do so from the original posters blog or shop - not from here.

Here are a few great features shared at last week's party!
Rob @ Island Rustic took a helicopter ride
above an "ocean" of gorgeous clouds.

Julie @ Restyle Relove turned a tv cabinet
into an adorable play sink for her kids.
Go check out the before and after!

Carlene @ Organized Clutter Queen
shared some priceless old photos of her relatives
making the best of the cold winters in Minnesota.
Be sure to go see the all!

Carolynn @ Chenille Cottage
shared her love of snow and snowmen,
and some interesting facts about snowflakes.
Hop over to see her beautiful blog header too - I love it!

Down at the Corner Store - JuNxtaposition

There's a new business on the block

at Knick of Time that I'm thrilled to

introduce you to.  JuNxtaposition carries

just the kind of repurposed vintage goods that

I am in love with!

Jeanne @ juNxtaposition uses other's discarded "junk"

to design eco-friendly goods that are hip and trendy, while being

appealing and useful to society once again.

The unique creations carried by juNxtaposition include

repurposed found items, such as long-forgotten old keys,

antique typewriters, discarded formica samples,

dusty aged dictionaries and old silverware that has aged

and tarnished to perfection.

Take a look for yourself!

juNxtaposition also carries Jeanne d'Arc Living magazines.

I'm seriously in love with everything in the
juNxtaposition shop!

You can visit juNxtaposition through their
Website
or follow them on Facebook, (I'm loving her photos!)
Twitter & Pinterest
(I'm already busy repinning her pins!)
and watch for a SALE coming in January on select items!

Your business can be the next one featured at Knick of Time.
There's always room on the block for another great shop!

The advertising rates are very low
(as little as $8.33 a month),
and I promote your business {or blog} several times
each month, in addition to writing a dedicated post about you.

You can also try ad sponsorship FREE for 15 days,
with the code PROMOTEME!

Young Talent - Becca Hope Photography

I'm not a natural photographer.

I have to study photos, and the

work of photographers I love

and learn from them, so I really admire people

that have a natural talent and a good eye

for capturing images that delight the eye

and invite you to enjoy little details.

Rebecca is a lovely, 17 year old friend of our family,
who we've known since she was in 5th grade...
and she has that gift.

I love this photo she took of her

friend on a cold, snowy day.  Just beautiful.

   I've been enjoying her photos that she's been
sharing on her Facebook
page, and asked her permission to share them here.

 Then, I shamelessly told her I want
some of her prints and she kindly ordered me some!

She loves the outdoors and captures
the beauty of the different seasons -
often in her own back yard.

I love this image of the still tire swing,
and basketball hoop in their backyard.
She's the youngest in her family,
and the last child left at home,
so in my mind, this photo should be
called, "Echos of Childhood".
My kids have spent a lot of time
in that back yard over the years as well.

I'm not sure if she loves old wood as much as I do,
but you can bet I love this photo.

 Here she is, in her front yard, enjoying
the first snowfall of the season.

I hope you'll take a moment to visit her new Facebook page,
see more of her photos and encourage her budding young talent.

She isn't really selling her prints,
but if you are interested in any of them,
send her a message on her FB page,
and I believe she could have prints made
at your local Walmart that you can pick up,
for a reasonable fee.

Blessings,

Angie

12 from 2012

I thought I'd share the top 12 posts & projects
from 2012 with you (excluding giveaways and the weekly link party).
If you're a fairly new visitor here, I hope you enjoy these,
and those of you who have been around
awhile will probably remember most of them.

#1 post - both in page views and comments was
our remodeled kitchen.  It received 154 comments
and 8,375 page views.  Thank you all who came to see it!
In all honestly, it's never been as clean as the
day this photo was taken, and short of hiring a maid,
probably never will be.

Closely related, my Farmhouse Table post
ranked pretty high too, but I think
it's because of the good-looking guy who gave it a kiss!

#2 was my remodeled "Ladies' Room",
with over 123 comments and 5,168 page views.
This was the first fully-remodeled room in our house.
Thank you to all the blog party hosts that featured it!

#3 was my Ironstone & Tarnished Silver Displays,
which received 69 comments and 1,718 page views.
Chippy painted wood, ironstone & patina
are definitely well-loved by many of you.

#4 was my tutorial for making
Restoration Hardware knock-off"metal" stencils.
It got 56 comments and over 6,000 page views.

It received such high page views, because
Donna @ Funky Junk featured it on her FB page,
so there were comments on her FB page as well.

#5 was my Headboard Coat Racks, which were a lot of fun
to create and did well in my shop.  You all
left 46 comments and there were 1,427 page views.
Turning several of them into chalkboards
made them doubly useful - and fun!
I still have a few of them available in my shop HERE.

#6 was my Upcycled Tin Cans, which
were fun to make with antique sheet music,
and such an inexpensive project.  You all left 42 comments.

#7 was the Cozy Sweater Candleholders,
which were a hit during the winter,
with 33 comments and 1,073 page views.
I sold several of these in my shop as well,
and have a few more for sale now HERE.

#8 - Turning old drawers into Chalkboard Display Shelves
was an easily doable project that received 32 comments.

My Little Spring Tool Tote came in at #9,
which was commented on 31 times.
Who can resist old, tarnished silverware?


#10 - Many of you shared my love of Playing with Buttons,
and 30 of you left comments about them.


Strolling in at #12 is my entryway, which I wallpapered
in dictionary pages from the same year I was born.
It got 29 comments and 1,709 page views.

Since we're heading into 2013,
I'll share just one more.

My most repinned images on Pinterest are always
my antique graphics, even though those aren't highly commented on.

#13 in the lineup are these 1800's Pear's Soap advertisements,
which are the most popular graphics I've shared to date, with 24 comments.
The "Printable Antique Graphics" tab at the top of
my blog has received over 15,000 page views!
I'm glad others love them as much as I do.

Oops - I just realized that my painted piano
actually came in #7 with 34 comments,
but I'm too lazy to redo my image at the top or
change this whole post!  Glad you all liked it though!

I hope 2012 was a year you'll look back on
with fond memories and 2013 will be a year
filled with much love, joy & growth for you.

Angie
