Collections

 
What a beautiful fall day to be stuck inside sick. At least I have the energy to search out some fall inspirations while the babe takes her nap. I have found that these inspirations have no real rhyme or reason but when I uploaded them all they all seemed to work together and would all look at home in a late fall party. I love the idea of building a open air room full of farm windows that would create perfect vignettes for photos and décor.  
 
 
The centerpiece in this next image are so unique and simple. Scout has similar  books and a huge deer collection available to rent.

 
I still can't get enough of chalkboard everything and this dessert table backdrop is no exception. "Love makes the world go round and so does cake."

 
This book backdrop is adorable and Scout has it for you! It will soon be pictured in our inventory. Folded and sculptural and such a big statement piece.

 
I love bell jars and candles but adding crocheted texture to it makes it more warm and cozy and perfect for fall. In fact, check these jars out at Hello the House in downtown Hudson, vendor #22.

 
And then there is this. Maybe it takes a certain type of person to appreciate a branch full of vintage birds. Just imagine this at a centerpiece, or a huge almost installation.

 
Make sure to contact Scout with any questions or if you loved any of the inspiration phtotos. We can make your event come alive and true to who you are. scoutvintagesupply@gmail.com

Introducing the Owner of Scout Supply Co.

 
My name is Megan Gaworecki and I am the owner, curator, finder & gatherer obsessed with all things vintage, weathered and aged. I have always been a collector and a creator. One of my first collections consisted of vintage compacts I would collect from going to flea markets with my parents. Now my hoard consists of neon letters and cinema signs to vintage cameras and globes. As a child I would create friendship bracelets and jewelry and sell them instead of the typical lemonade stand. I have always used my hands and love to create even if it was just for me. Now I am an art teacher and get to do and make and inspire every day for a living. I never thought of sharing my collections with others but in joining the world of Pinterest and seeing the style of weddings and vignettes that were popular it peeked my interest. I remember what a hard time I had with planning and decorating my barn wedding in 2003 and after researching other vintage rental companies I decided to start here in Hudson. It is a bit intimidating starting a new business when you already have a full time job, not to mention a family but here I am trying and hopefully succeeding.  I am actively using my hands day in and day out. I always thought it was a curse that I enjoyed such a variety of media: painting, drawing, textiles, wood working, etc. I so envied other artists who had one focused area of interest. I know that running Scout will bring all of these elements together for me.

Farm Cocktail Night



From the Scout inventory we pulled some unique pieces for this late summer farm cocktail night. 



A rustic wooden ironing board as a bar table top sets the scene. A one day rental for this piece is $10.00. Not a bad investment for such a big statement. 



As the summer comes to an end and the days become shorter and cooler remember that Scout as all your Autumn harvest party needs. Retro plaid blankets, vintage board games and a great yellow plaid steamer trunk can all be brought together for your upcoming party or family photo session. 





Perfect vintage touches and accessories add to the feeling of fall. These galvanized cake stands can be filled with cupcakes for your "sweets" table and rent for $3.00 a piece. 


Watermelon mojitos were on the menu for our night. Slate pieces set the bar top. 




Plus one handsome bartender and your chic farm cocktail night is complete.
