Sweater Clips: Pretty and Fun to Wear

Ok - I admit it. I'm a bit clip happy these days with vintage sweater clips (aka sweater guards). These little beauties are an easy collectible and fun to wear on a shirt, sweater, hat or pocket. I've even piled up a few and worn them together in a layered look.

This morning I took pictures of the latest batch to come in and found this sweet one.

Vintage Scarves - So light - So lovely - So easy to wear

Looking over my favorite vintage scarves the other day I was struck by how many I have (eek, thank goodness they fold up small) and by how much I enjoy wearing them. Right now it's warm out so I'm enjoying scarves as a last minute "add a touch of color" accessory either tied on to my straw bag or tucked into a pocket. I'm also doing the Grace Kelly head scarf look in the evening.

Scarves are such an easy coll… Continue

What's inside your vintage purse ?

I've looked into a lot of purses in all the shopping and buying I've done over the years. Some purses are empty. Sometimes I find the mundane like bobby pins, mints, hankies or matchbooks from a bar. And then sometimes I find the weird or wonderful like false teeth, an anti drug card game, parts of plumbing (yes, plumbing, I think it was part of a faucet).

Everytime I open a new vintage purse it's a moment of suspense - I wonder what will be inside treasure, trash or nothing ?

What is the most… Continue

If you have listings anywhere else, it's easy to transport them over. No problems advertising your other sites either. There is no fee for listing (all members get a booth), everything stays until sold. Very small fvf, but they do need $ to run the site - and they run it well! Easy to set up shop to feed to goggle base & lots of tips & help to maximize your visibility. There are many people who use it as an adjunt to an etsy store or their own sites.

It's still growing. I see improvements in sales. Membership climbing by 2-300/day. More people are finding products by goggle than just going to any one site - but I think once they try BN they come back.

The vintage category is growing and your hats would be great additions. It's a general site so you can sell anything legal. Use any $ type you want. Even have local pick-ups. Can also hold live auctions in your booth by the integrated IM system & hold sales called Bonanzas at scheduled times which are advertised on the front Buy page.

I moved over from the totally dead OLA site - after leaving feebay it was hard for me to find the right place - so I stuck out a year on OLA - good learning experience & made lots of friends - most of whom are on BN and several have joined VV.

Now, etsy is still a better venue for handcrafts - my daughter has a store - candycornstudios - and does pretty well - but for things that don't turn over quickly, charges can add up - I think that discourages listing very many items.

BN is pretty much a can't loose site - try us out! My IDs are Dragonmum2, dragonmumtwo & dragonmumtoo (3 dift stores).
Take a look - most people really like what they see!

I have a few I'm going to put in my Bonanzle store, but Have no idea how to describe them, charge for them, etc. Would you be willing to take a look at some photos & give me an opinion? That would be - when I get around to it after figuring out how things work around here. I finally got links to my pics, but now those minis....Hmmmm... Leslye

Beat you to it and figured out how to do the mini all on my lonesome---but I seriously have you to thank because I never would have known it existed without your having mentioning it! I would have tried to do my own html with pics and links b/c I saw it on other people's pages---duh. lol

Hey, where are you on Staten Island? A friend of mine used to have a loft there. Do you work in the city?

I like your Etsy store a lot! I'm hearting it!

At 6:28pm on April 5, 2009, Archivia said…: Haha, thanks so much for looking at my Etsy page and the rubber band ball! Now I need to figure out how the heck to do an Etsy Mini!
