Friday Freebie~ 2 Printables

A couple of freebies on this lovely Friday morning for my favorite internet people!

I am all about filling my walls with things are happy, encouraging, & peaceful.   Art is one of those things for me (I have a couple of ideas brewing for art in this space...) & another is words.  I'm also all about sharing the love.  This song has been my jam lately & the reason for print 1.  Print 2 is one of my favorite hymns.  Love them together.  Hope you enjoy!  (& FYI, AC Moore is running a big sale on frames right now.)

Simply right click, save, & print (made for 5X7)! 

I would love to make more free printables like these, so let's brainstorm together... feel free to email me your favorite quotes, lyrics, & verses!  Would love to get creative & share some more! Email is~ the[dot]preppy[dot]gypsy[at]gmail[dot]com

Have a great weekend, y'all!

For Sale~ A Collection of Trays

Before we begin... let me give you some inspiration to help show how trays can be so useful:

To hold jewelry! (source, source)

To keep your essentials! (source) 

To organize around the sink!  (source)

To organize a mini bar! (source, source)

& now let me explain.  I love trays.  They make the organizing queen in me very happy.  With trays, everything can have a place AND things look pretty.  I also like to put trays on top of trays.  Double win!  And bowls on trays.  Trays are useful when having people over because it helps things to look like they're in good order.  They're also useful for organizing makeup and jewelry on vanities, dresser, bathroom counters, etc.  One final use for trays~ they make excellent housewarming presents!

This post is dedicated to trays, trays, & more trays!  Priced individually, & if you're like me, you won't be able to have just one!

...for some extra pretty, add some flowers to your daily essentials.  Our flower frog shown in the photo above is still available.  Sadly (& not surprisingly), all my flowers have now died.

$10 each (two available)

The most perfect teacher gift!  A brass apple that makes a great paperweight for a teacher's desk!  Teachers, this would be a fun little back-to-school gift for yourself.  More importantly, friends of teachers, this would make a teacher's day to receive a little back to school gift from a friend!  I think this would be awesome monogrammed, too.

TPG in Real Life, vol. 1

Do y'all remember this birdcage & this picnic basket?  They are stylin' & profilin' in customer G.'s place! 

I'm a very visual person, so I think it's helpful when you can see how you'd actually use something as seemingly random as a birdcage or a picnic basket to make your house a home.  I am thrilled to show you some real life photos from one of our customers.  Thanks & thanks again to customer G. for sharing with us how she is using some items that she bought a few weeks ago!! 

 I love how she used the birdcage above a bookshelf to add some depth and weight to the empty space on top.  Good layering with a large Paris frame & some candlesticks, too! 

The picnic basket serves as the "catch-all" for mags, remotes, and even a blanket in G.'s living area.  I like how it goes with the wooden end table, but I think picnic baskets like this would also be great painted! 

Lastly, G. snagged this end table before it ever went live on the blog, but we wanted to share it with you anyways!  Will be on the lookout for more tables like this because they are functional AND cute!  This type of end table is great when space is limited, because you get storage on the bottom and some just enough space for a coffee mug, few books, & an iPad on top.  And... did anyone else notice G's elephant Herend?  TPG officially has her eyes peeled!

Have you bought something from The Preppy Gypsy?  We'd LOVE to see how you're using it!  Email us a few photos at the[dot]preppy[dot]gypsy[at]gmail[dot]com -- not only would we love to see how you're using your PG items, but it would bring us much joy to share how you're using them in real life, too! 

For Sale~ Lovely Brass Trio

Each item is $35.  Or, buy all three for $95! 

I've never seen pierced brass lights quite like these!  They give off great dewey light.  They're the perfect night lights for a kitchen or bathroom.  I played around with them at my house, and I also like how they look on an entry table.  How would you use them?   I liked them grouped as a trio like the photo above -- if you do, too, I've made a group deal for the set!

For Sale~ Teal Recipe/Photo/Quote Holder

I've received a lot of happy thoughts about this teal color that made its original debut on our first coat rack....  

This recipe holder would look great in any kitchen... if you can't cook, might as well make it look like you can, right??? Or as a picture frame.  Or to remind yourself of a favorite Bible verse or quote.  Would be cute in any room, really!

Side note~ I used my grandmother's pumpkin pie recipe in the pic below because this is one of five things that I am LEGIT good at making.  Booyah.

$10

BTW, you can print your Instagrams (like the one above) at Walgreens now.  Deets here.  Walgreens isn't paying me to tell you this, I just think it's pretty great.  & hey, I'd be OK with it if they did decide to pay me.

For Sale~ Teal Mirror

$36
SOLD

Dimensions~ 19" X 29"

Uses... in the bathroom, above a dresser, in an entryway.  In a dorm, apartment, or home.  Can't go wrong here.

For Sale~ Brass Container

$40

Dimensions~ 15" X 8" X 8"

Got quite a few inquiries about the brass lion planter from a few weeks back.  Now that it has found happy new home, here's the next in line... an awesome brass container with lion's feet with a little blue & white on the holder.  I'd put this to the side of a sofa or chair in the living room to hold magazines or in the bathroom to hold TP or towels.  

I snatched it up & then saw a similar one a few hours later for $85.  EEK!  Happy to keep this guy WAY under that price tag!

PS Garden & Gun, I <3 ya!

For Sale~ Large Brass Tray for Wall Decoration

Like this look?  It could be yours!

Source

On the wall, a different angle to see the intricate detail, and a close up of some of the detail... 

$68
SOLD

Dimensions~ 28" diameter

This makes a great statement on any wall.  I would put this on a large wall above a sofa in the living room (with other pieces around or all on its own) or in a smaller wall space where you want to make a statement.  It has a hook that is soldered into the back of the tray which makes it very durable to hang, but it's fully functional to take off the wall and use as a tray, too.  Would also be neat on a large ottoman to hold remotes, candles, mags, etc.
