New Items...

What's new....

Well, I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I keep saying I will devote more time to blogging, but never seem to actually do it! =)

My house looks like it should be on Hoarders. I have items for the shop I need to store, Christmas decorations to put up, and a table full of items I need to photograph! I need a bigger house just so I can fill it with more stuff. ;)

I hope each of you with Etsy shops had some sales this weekend. I was very disappointed, I had 2 sales. I've had lots of traffic, lots of new admirers, but just the 2 sales. *sigh*

We'll see what happens in the next month. I am believing it will get better!

Hope everyone has a great week!

This weekend at The Port City Rumble....

Pics of my hubby showing off his cigarbox guitars. I wish I had remembered to bring new batteries...maybe I could've taken more pictures.. ;)

Hello

well, it's been almost a month since i've posted. my husband and i have been vending on saturdays and one of our kids started marching band this year, which has kept us super busy, and i had to go back to work part time. ugh. i need to post some pics! maybe i'll do better. =) juggling all of this stuff is rough! we have all this technology to make our life easier and it seems to make it more complicated. well, time to catch up on a little kristy time... =)

Mid Century Score

Well, I scored 4 mid century chairs for $55 tonight. Not too shabby. Three are in near perfect condition and 1 needs a little work, not much, just a touch up here and there. Hopefully I'll get some pics up in a day or so. I'd really like to feature a shop or two this week. Maybe that'll drum up some more followers. We'll see......

Buying and Finding Goodies

My daughter and I went to my uncle's auction last week. I have been dying to get to another one ever since. I have had several "hookups" in the past week only to result in nothing. No vintage goodies. Nothing. Ugh. My only scores (good scores, even) were at the auction. I am supposed to go digging thru someone's barn on Sunday....oh, and be a vendor dowtown on Saturday. Maybe, it'll result in lots of money and lots of goodies....found cheap! Wouldn't that be wonderful?!

I will have to post pictures from the weekend...and maybe some of the auction scores. ;)

My bed is calling.....

Goodnight!

A cigarbox guitar made by my husband. It's for sale in our Etsy shop!

I have a confession to make....I am a 38 year old blogger virgin.....

Ok, so my 12 year old is teaching me how to blog. Funny, huh? I have an Etsy shop and figured it would be beneficial for my shop. Plus, I wanna be hip, ya know? Like, not technologically retarded....because I am. I have a love/hate relationship with technology. Some days I feel totally useless, as far as technology goes.

So, enough about my issues. I do adore vintage. I always have, even as a child rummaging through my grandmothers old clip on earrings or playing with my mom's minks that were her aunts. I love all kinds of vintage....all styles! Industrial, a little shabby, a little country, a lot of kitsch, and a lot of mid century. I think the 1950s is my favorite decade for style....waaayyyy before Mad Men. I bought my first pieces from the 1950s over 10 years ago and I still have them today. :)

So, I hope that you all will join me on my quest for new vintage items to admire.

Thanks for listening to my rambles.....
