The Laundry Room

My laundry room is in desperate need of a makeover... and I do mean desperate! We live in an old house from the 1920s (which I love dearly), but the basement is a bit dark and dreary. It's not at the top of our priorities right now, since we're starting on another renovation project in a different part of the house. But... that doesn't keep me from looking for ideas for when we do have time to overhaul it......read more on our VinContinue

Taking My Etsy Photography Outside - New Items to be Listed

I have been struggling with finding a good spot for shooting my Etsy photos. I am not sure if other Etsy sellers take as many pictures as I do. I think part of the problem is that my home has warm colors and is not well lit. This last week the sun was shinning so nicely that I decided to take my photo shoot outside. I was quite impressed with the shots. Read more at… Continue

A Special (Vintage) Touch

I love the way a vintage piece adds a special touch. Whether it's in your kitchen, your wardrobe, your bedroom, or your living room. It sets you apart from everyone else who shops at big box stores and whose homes and wardrobes all look alike. Those who love and appreciate vintage pieces are usually unique, colorful people themselves......read more at VintageLove. Continue

Bits of Inspiration

What's inspiring me these days... I live in a house that was built in the 1920's and have a lot of vintage furniture and accessories that are vintage. It's a constant work in progress and we still have lots of renovating and decorating left to do. I love seeing how other people work vintage items into them homes and decorating.

~Our Collections of Vintage Timekeepers~

There is just something about the ticking of a wind up alarm clock that brings me back to my Grandma's house in my younger years. My parents would put us down to have a nap in Grandma and Grandpa's room. Being a hyperactive child, I did not do naps. The only comforting sounds was the tick tock of the clock on the bedside table as the other children napped. Here are three of the clocks that are part of my collection.............

My Latest Vintage Finds...Pyrex & Glasbake

I have had some fabulous finds at the Thrift Store. Most of this was yesterday except for the lime green Pyrex pie/baking dish. I just had to put it next to the matching cups and saucers though for the picture! I am thinking I will probably list these all in my Etsy shop soon. I am tempted though to keep the candy orange colored casserole......read more on my VintageLove blog post.

My Vintage Roots

It's hard to know when I first began to value vintage. I think back to my childhood and some of my fondest memories are of my Grandmother and Grandfather's Thrift store. I saw many things come through this place that were original for one reason or another. I remember begging my grandma for a wedding gown that I wanted to dress up in at about the age of 5 or 6. I did get it and had so much fun playing bride in it out on the summer lawn with my cousin!............... Read more on our… Continue

New Vintage Shops on Etsy

One of my favorite features on Etsy is Pounce. I was recently looking through the Undiscovered Shops that are waiting for their first sale to see if there were any new vintage shops. I think one of the great thing about being a vintage seller on Etsy, is the sense of community. I've found that other sellers are willing to help promote each other in the effort to promote vintage overall. I love that! Here are a few new vintage shops that I found... Read more at… Continue
