Kathy of Oh Baby! is one of our incredible antique vendors. She has an amazing gift for decorating, painting and making vintage pieces upcycled to a new life.
Oh Baby! Antiques says, “I love painting old furniture and replacing the hardware or adding new detail. Anything rusty speaks to me, as does vintage jewelry. I love repurposing these items into unique wall hangings.”
Thanks for shopping downtown Clarksville.
Gotta tell you about two vendors that I know I have told you about before, but both have brought in all kinds of new pieces for their collections, and I think I have new favorites!
OH BABY! has created several of her one of a kind “Angels of Reclaim” – most of them are made from vintage hardware. Check these out!
Broken vintage plates aren’t just for the trash can anymore! Not in the hands of Rachel Wainwright, jewelry artist. Rachel takes vintage dishes and gives them a new life, shaping them into all kinds of unique jewelry items. Just look at these items – ponytail holders, necklace pendants, bobby pins and now BUTTONS!
See you downtown!
As I mentioned in a previous update, Busy Bee Antiques has moved out of ARTifacts to begin an all new venture – starting their own new store here in Downtown Clarksville, Fleur De Leis! They hope to open by River’s & Spires – so stay tuned for more info about that.
In the meantime – Oh Baby! has moved up to the front of the shop and now she is directly across from me! The booth looks completely different – and like it is all new stuff. It is so cool how that happens! Here are a few quick photos for you to see what a different a small move can make!
Some of the pieces Oh Baby features include loads of vintage frames painted with Caromal Colour’s paints- made to last! Many upcycled furniture pieces that once were at a second hand store ready or ready for the dump. Kathy has completely revived them with a new coat of paint and her amazing amazing paint technique. She has all kinds of new signs that are fun too – and always has her Angel’s of Reclaim made up from pieces of vintage hardware, door hinges, jewelry bits, vintage fibers and more – these angels are wonderful gift ideas and each one is completely different from the last!
