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

Grandma Rose would say what to do, what to do? I am sure many of you are wondering how all of these bits and pieces could work at your next event. You have a bunch of glass domes to rent out, what do you do with them? Well... How about some timeless family photos? Pictures of those couples in your family that have been together through thick and thin. Your inspirations, or pictures of family members that are no longer with you. Did you meet your mate on a trip? Do you have ticket stubs and relics that tell your story? The possibilities are endless. From succulents to colorful dioramas, Scout can help you with your vision no matter how complex or simple. No matter how epic of a love story or cheesy, here at Scout we listen to what you want. Let Scout help you translate your story to a visual representation of you. We know what to do. 

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.

Scout's First Design Job

We are so excited here at Scout to have our first design job at Locust Street Market in downtown Hudson, WI. Think sculptural vintage folded books with pops of 60's patterns flowing down the staircase.  Chino Latino inspired sequins filling a whole side wall and a huge chalkboard statement piece. The beginning stages are happening so more pics to follow. I think my Anthropologie days on the design team are coming full circle. Thank god I don't have to size sweaters anymore. 

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.

Inventory

Did you know here at Scout we have a variety of things that you may not have thought of as décor? We have many pieces in our inventory that translate well to events and vintage inspired themes. Functional pieces such as an old whimsical wooden ironing board turned bar top, to antler sheds as simple and almost abstract centerpiece accents, to bare bones lamp shades hanging from trees with Edison light bulbs, to discarded and perfectly tarnished glided mirrors to accent your table tops and candles perfectly. Here at Scout we are available to consult and help you dream up ways to infuse a little vintage and style into your next event.
