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!
