Need A Hand?? Giveaway from Retro Chalet

in Fun Reviews & Giveaways!

hands 4

Retro Chalet is an Etsy shop full of vintage goodies! You’ll love the print blocks, melamine dinnerware and these HANDS!

Could you use a hand? Who couldn’t, right?!

Retro Chalet is the place to visit for vintage glove molds in all different styles.  They make fabulous props for photos…and of course I painted these red and turquoise.  I can’t get enough of these colors together.

They would be a great addition to your craft show display!

hands 2

This hand is shabby and chic already!

You can decorate with them just like they are or decoupage them for a creative touch!  They fit right in around here. :)

hands 3

I tried my painted hands on the back porch nestled in the flowers a bit…how fun!

The possibilities for these unique glove mold are endless! The more I moved mine around the house the more ideas I came up with!  Some of the hands can easily be painted and others are smooth and shiny so they already look great.

Most of these are 24 years old or more…but their age doesn’t show.

hands 1

Put Your Hands Up!  Put Your Hands Up!

They look great holding my necklaces and I could see myself displaying my jewelry on it right in my own house.  What a great way to introduce your latest creations to your friends and family that stop by.  They might even want to buy it…he he!

Retro Chalet has been kind enough to offer one Everything Etsy reader their own vintage glove mold! It’s guaranteed to be shiny and fun! {$32 value}
