I Love Pastels!

First Wreaths for 2014

I'm starting the 2014 wreath season with a bang!

Five new wreaths and of course LOTS more to come, all year long.

 

Beat the holiday rush, these wreaths are available now right here.

Light Bulb Wreaths

It's been close to 15 years ago when my obsessive vintage holiday hoarding led me to acquire a large stash of old C9 light bulbs.  

I eventually decided to try making a wreath with those lights and it turned out pretty well.

My light bulb wreaths are a GeorgiaPeachez original design and I've perfected the method over the years.

I'm working on a few of these wreaths for this year.  

These bulbs are pretty hard to come by now, so I will only get a few made and then that is it until I can find another load of old C9's.

Remember when those were the standard size for your tree and for the house?  That was back in the old days (my youth) and there was no such thing as white mini lights either.

There is no comparison today for the great range of colors those old lights came in.

Lots of Cheer

Halloween?? What's that?

It's all about the Christmas around here.

Going for the Gold

Gold, silver and a Made in Japan butterfly.

Pretty perfect.

Frohliche Weihnachten - That's Merry Christmas!!

Another Wreath Feature!!

Another of my wreaths has appeared in a Romantic Homes publication!

 This publication by Romantic Homes is on the newstand now.  I found my copy at Target today.

 Last year, one of my wreaths was on the cover of Romantic Homes magazine.  I had actually sent two wreaths to California to be photographed and this is that second wreath on page 16 of the Vintage Holiday Christmas magazine.

I had no idea, I was quite surprised standing there in Target flipping through this magazine!!

Well, I have gathered together so many vintage christmas goodies and I am working on getting as many wreaths to my store as possible so that everyone can have one this year.

Right now I have four wreaths in the shop with many more to come.

Exquisitness

It doesn't get any better than this.

Estate Sale Score!!

When a local estate sale advertises "christmas room", you can bet that I'm there.

That was an adrenaline rush sale for sure :->

April's Gold!!

Gold and silver is a combo that always works!

Available in the store now.

What's Pink, Pink and More Pink??

This new wreath!!

In the shop today.

Choices

These 3 wreaths are in the store and available.

Vintage Wreaths are Shaping Up

I've made a square wreath and a rectangular wreath for my own collection.

This is the first square wreath that I have made for the store.

This wreath is 17" square and makes quite the statement.

A Jewel of a Wreath

I came across the most amazing wreath yesterday.

Is your mouth hanging open right now? 

This gorgeous wreath is the creation of Winnie Lambert of Sweet Lena's Retro.  It turns out Winnie is a neighbor, living in the Hampton Roads area like myself.

She specializes in vintage jewelry and her shop is full of all kinds of treasures, most importantly this wreath!

If I owned this wreath I would display it 365 days of the year, heck yeah. 

A Wreath Giveaway Chicago Style

How about a wreath giveaway?!!?

You're in, right!

Then scoot on over to the pop culture blog, CrabbyGoLightly

and check it out.

They have generously purchased one of my holiday wreaths and they are giving it away.

Run, don't dawdle, right over here to enter.

How Do You Purchase a Wreath?

Welcome to GeorgiaPeachez Wreaths!  If you are new to my site, then welcome :->

It is Christmas 24/7 over here and if you love all things vintage Christmas then you have come to the right place.

I am crazy busy right now making wreaths as fast as I can so that hopefully every one that wishes to have one of my heirloom wreath creations can get one.

As I get the wreaths completed I will list them in my store.

I do not take orders or make custom wreaths.

There are two ways to get notified when I have listed new wreaths.

There is my mailing list.  I ONLY send out emails when I have new wreaths, you will never receive any spam from me and you can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the link contained in the email.

The other way to find out about new wreaths is to "like" my facebook page.

Also, I only ship my wreaths to the 48 continental states.  Because of the fragile nature of the wreaths I do not use the postal service.  I ship my wreaths via Fedex Ground.  Shipping outside of the continental US is just too expensive and far to travel.

OK, I better get back to my workstation.  Lots more wreaths to come!!

Vintage Christmas Lights

I pretty much collect anything that's vintage christmas and that includes old light bulbs.

I bought a large lot of old C9 lights on the strings years ago because I was drawn to the old shapes and range of colors.

I stashed them away, thinking to myself at the time that I should make something with them.

One day the proverbial "light bulb" went off and the light bulb wreath was created.

I've only ever made a few of these wreaths, the bulbs are hard to find in the wild and they are expensive to purchase on eBay.

These wreaths are also very labor intensive, it's not easy to get these bulbs secured to the wreath form.

All the wreaths above are sold.  You can see pictures of all my wreath creations here.

I've been saving up my bulbs for awhile now and I finally have collected enough to make a few more wreaths.  Over the next week I will be listing them in the store.

Today I'm putting this one, made with those old C6 bulbs, into the store.

This one is only 12" in diameter.  I've combined the bulbs with some pretty vintage shiny brites and an old corsage.

It's a cutie.

Wreaths in the Store

I've got six new wreath creations in the store  today!

It was a busy weekend :->

Romantic Homes Cover

GeorgiaPeachez Wreaths is on the cover!

Thank you Romantic Homes magazine for featuring my wreaths on your cover and inside your magazine.

I am in full blown wreath production mode from now until the vintage ornies run out.

I will be adding them to the store as I get them made so check in often or follow me on facebook.

I don't create custom orders, I let the shapes and colors guide me to the finished product.

If you have just discovered my place, then welcome and I hope you come back often. 

This is my place to share my slight obession with all things vintage christmas.

** Happy Holidays **
