Vintage Modern Wishlist

Hi friends! I was honored when the talented Austinite, Maureen , of Ingle Nook Decor asked me to do a guest post on her blog earlier this week.  In honor of the holidays, I thought it was fitting to do a wishlist round-up.  This vintage modern wishlist is for the one with a trendy eye that also has an appreciation for the design of the past... 
 


Happy Holidays to you all! xo, e


IT'S THAT TIME...

Happy Friday friends! The month of December begins tomorrow and that means one thing. It's that time of year again, the time for all things holly, jolly, merry and bright
So naturally, we wanted to join in on all of the fun and give a gift giveaway or two...or 12.  That's right, 12 days of giveaways for all of our friends, and that means you m'dear! 

Starting noon tomorrow, DEC. 1 through DEC. 12,  keep wide eyes open here, there, and pretty much everywhere for ways to enter the giveaway of the day! 

Merry Christmas from Magpie Fields

TEA TIME TRADITION

The month of May, eh? It's here alright. The flowers will be blooming  - summer is upon us - and we will all give thanks to our moms and those influential female figures in our lives - it's a beautiful thing. I'm a pretty spontaneous gal but I do love a good tradition, and as I was being drawn to the colors in this vintage illustration it hit me - tea time tradition.  How about this mother's day, start a tradition for you and your mom - like a special tea time. How cute would that be?!
If you are far apart, keep a set and send the other to your mom. Schedule a time for your tea and enjoy tea through skype. Each of you can have the set to display in your home and think of that special time that you spend with each other! And if you live near each other - even better, give her both sets! She can display them throughout the year and pull them out to use on her special day.   What a sweet memory for you and mom!  We have this one and  that one in the shop to choose from as well as different mugs and cocktail glasses. Be sure to order your mother's day gifts soon because it's right around the corner!

WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD: EARTH DAY

"I see trees of green" and "skies of blue", and I do in fact, oftentimes "think to myself what a wonderful world"; just as good ole Louis Armstrong once sang.

Magpie Fields is proud to provide an environmentally conscious approach to design and even more, really enjoy giving back! Did you know the three principles behind our brand were Green, Global, and Giving...check out our mission statement.
  When you purchase a vintage or an up-cycled good from the shop, you are helping the environment by recycling - that's right, going green! Also, our global goods are hand-crafted, meaning fine quality achieved without the production of mass pollution from a factory - supporting talented artists and clean air, so thank you!

This Sunday my friends, is Earth Day, a day dedicated to being reminded and grateful for the beautiful Earth we live in. What about making some sort of resolution - maybe opt to start conserving your water usage, or use reusable bags or baskets instead of the oh-so-convenient plastic option at the store. It's so easy to take the beautiful Earth and all the nature within it for granted - I think it's because we don't really see firsthand the damage we are doing to it everyday.  I have to admit, I really have slacked on helping the environment in the past, and I really want to change that. So this year on Earth day, I'm going to start with a small step of using only reusable bags or baskets - and when I don't for some reason have either on me, I'll reach for the paper bag over the non-biodegradeable plastic.  I think that's a good start! Every little bit helps, eh?!

Have a lovely weekend + Happy Earth Day! xo, e





WEEKEND: MARDI GRAS


       I hope everyone enjoys their weekend! I'll be thinking of home this Mardi Gras weekend + so 
       to get me in the festive groove, I found these fun images. Aren't they grand?  
     It's the 1907 Rex Parade in New Orleans on Canal Street - amazing how much tradition is behind  
     this flavorful city! And that trio of friends, they really get me.  They seem like they're a real hoot
     Sending extra love to family and friends back in Louisiana, who will be living it up this weekend 
     Mardi Gras style! I hope to smell the crawfish all the way over here in Austin!

Will you be my Valentine?

I've been transformed from a pink girl to a red girl.  Let me explain. Having grown up in the States, all little girls love pink or learn to love pink.  I think the exact opposite is taught to European girls; red is where it's at! I couldn't agree more.  I've always had a love/hate relationship with the color pink. Being inspired by this new revelation, I set out to make handmade valentine's card for this years day of love.  For all things pink, red, or of roses...



So what's your type? Pink or red?
