Here's my conservatory full of vintage holiday cheer!   So many great old figurines and a perfect place for them to be for the holidays!  Lots of carolers, and the red bell on the left side actually is an old wind-up musical bell - so that adds to the festivities going on here...

Merry Christmas everyone!!

Kathy

Thanks for your comments - this is such a fun piece to redo, redo, and redo again...

Here are the measurements: it's 32" in length, 18" wide, and almost 24" high at the peak. The width is from side to side - not including the points of the roof sticking out. Good luck with yours - - I'd love to see what you come up with!!

Happy New Year, Kathy Posted: 10:19 am on January 2nd

tamilyn writes: Oh my! I just found this in the 2008 revisit e-mail! I LOVE your conservatory. I would love to borrow your idea and build my own for 2009. It is such a lovely way to capture those holiday/seasonal memories.

Could you please share the actual(or close) size of yours? At first it looked small and then I followed the post to your "beach view" and it looks bigger than I first thought.

Thank you for sharing this. Both versions I've seen are gorgeous. I can't wait to see your other seasonal themes.

shabbychick writes: Thanks everyone...again - way too much fun -lots of "holiday putzing" going on...! :)

Geo - I know you'll get your conservatory put together (and I can't wait to see it) - and the springtime will be perfect - for the spring I start with vintage garden stuff, bunnies and goodies for spring/Easter, and then right "back to the beach" for the summer - and, it's never exactly the same - since collections seem to come and grow...I mean go (oops - slipped there, didn't I??)...

A conservatory kind of thing could always be made/repurposed out of something different - like maybe an old fish aquarium (no building required...).

Janis, come on over - I've got plenty to share!! :)

Beautiful job!

georgiamoon writes: Kathy you are not kiddin' when you say "vintage charm" Wow it's like a little vintage town came to life in there. I love to see how you change this up for the seasons. It is still one of my favorite things, so cute, Georgia
PS Notice that I did not whine once in this whole post? Do you think I have gotten over the fact that I still don't have a conservatory...not a chance...I'm being patient (not my strong suit) but I haven't forgotten. Springtime...yeah that's it...Springtime. Posted: 3:11 pm on December 17th
