Hi fellow vintage lovers!
I've been busy working on my etsy shop, now that my boys are visiting
grandma and grandpa for a few weeks.
Sigh! I miss them!
At the same time, it's nice to be able to list more than one thing a week.
I found some new things this past week, and
I'm beginning to photograph things I already had.
Here's a few of both.
These small figurines are a past buy,
waiting for their chance in the limelight.
Hopefully I can get them listed tonight :)
Some vintage mailing labels.
Even the ink looks cool and "vintage," you know?
With Halloween in the air,
I couldn't resist this cute book from the 60's.
It includes magic tricks kids can do,
like "Electric Cat."
That made me smile.
I found this original art in a thrift shop.
I love the bright yellow sunniness of it.
I LOVE yellow kitchens, too.
The recipe on it is for a dessert featuring
Camembert, dry white wine, "very fine" toast crumbs, and sweet butter.
"Serve with red wine and French bread..."
Oh la-la ;)
Continuing the cheerful yellow theme are these
Japanese stoneware mugs.
I've been finding some really fun
kid's things, like these fabrics--
...and these 60's/70's patterns.
I loved this shamrock pin as soon as I saw it!
Although I'm not too sure about why it was preserved.
Any ideas?
I love the scalloping on the side.
I love vintage bags, but I never find any--
or at least, none in good condition.
This one is from the 70's is in excellent shape and looks so
modern to me. Super cute.
Now, at all the thrift stores/flea markets/garage sales
I go to, I hardly ever look at clothing or such for myself.
I think this is partly because it takes too long to look through the
clothing racks (I take forever), and partly because I want to avoid the
whole lack-of-style thing I got going on right now, lol!
But, due much to the fact that I've been reading some
great thrift-style blogs lately (Harper's Happenings, Iris Inspired),
I wanted to see what I could find if I actually tried.
The first thing I found is this Jessica Simpson bag,
which looked like it hadn't been used.
I love the style, and the two roomy pockets in front.
This was $3.99.
These Kenneth Cole heels are so kittenish and cute!
I love the color...
The little heels...comfy!...
And the cutouts on the front.
$5.99.
Most of these items are on their way to my shop.
If you have an etsy shop, feel free to leave a link to it in the comments!
I'd love to stop by and take a look!

The spooky tricks book is so cute. I have a weakness for vintage patterns and love the ones you picked up. They are so sweet.
loving those red shoes! And the spooky tricks book seems to look familiar - I think I had that book years ago - cute. Will have to check out your etsy store. I stumbled here via Sophies Library Adventures. Glad I did.
Why are they away so long? Is it just you and Addie?
Wish I was there...we could have girl's night pajama parties...you, me, Maggie and Addie :D
More great finds, Marty!
I love those happy sunny mugs!
I really like the shamrock pin. And the red shoes are cute!
But I think the Spooky Tricks book is great and perfect for the season!
I love the vintage mailing labels! And oh my goodness! Those shoes are divine!!
These are some great finds! And I really love your use of vintage books in your photos.
