Industrial Chic On Etsy , Globes Just Aren't for Geography Anymore

Globes : Industrial Chic, find these at MissBettyBungalow on Etsy!

Days gone by of old globes sitting in classrooms...are now a piece of industrial history.  Globes of all shapes and sizes are becoming more and more desirable. Not only do they accompany vintage and modern decor, but so many variations exist!   I recently picked up this 16" huge globe in my favorite salvage store.


How could I not buy this cool thing? I put it for sale in My Etsy Shop!



The Noon Sun indicator is pretty cool.

 

How countries are named can tell us more about the age of the globe. This one, RetroChalet.

After a quick look on Etsy and I was hooked in the whole "Globe Decor" theme.  Vintage maps, geography posters, tin globes, toy globes, and even mini globe pencil sharpeners are just a few things you may find.  I noticed most of the globes range in sizes and have different stands, so you could build a collection with no two alike!



This "wee sized" globe is a German Pencil Sharpener!
It's so cute, and available at Dabbling in the Dew on Etsy!

 What about if you aren't into the whole map theme? No worries, Etsy has the globe for you!  Check this refurbished globe that has been turned into a chalkboard! What a way to repurpose!

Hunt and Found : A Chalkboard Globe, great for writing notes to yourself on your desk!

 Here are some of my favorite finds! If you don't have a lot of room, try out a toy sized globe. You'll be glad you did!

Carnival Time : Fairs, Festivals and Circus Style on Etsy

From Melaine Peralto of Lady Libertine Vintage

'Summer Carnival : Under the Big Top Le' Carnivale' ' by RetroChalet

Ah, the sweet smell of summer. This includes some wonderful Vesties Team members! I attend over 40 carnivals and total of 90 festivals per year because my husband sells his famous bbq at them. So this treasury was easy to make and fun to think about! My all time favorite things are to see the old times games that some carnivals still use, and the carousel horses. My all time favorite are out of the way places, in old familiar spaces, like in the middle of no where!

Vintage Wire Baskets : Farmhouse Finds and Garden Time

Thanks to Asha of Chico, CA for sharing this picture of how she uses her wire basket!

Summer is here and one of my favorite things are use of old wire baskets. There's nothing like display of fresh lemons, herbs, fresh cut flowers, or fresh eggs in baskets like these. The shabbier the better.  If you have a basket with rust, use it to weed the garden.  Old baskets never die, they just get better with age.

Lemons never looked so lovely, for sale @ The Lazy Peacock
