http://etsyvintage.blogspot.com/2014/12/gift-giving-with-vintage-glass-and.html
Auctions, Flea Markets, Thrift Stores Oh My! Dec 8, 2014. Gift Giving with Vintage Glass and Candy, Candy, Candy. It is Christmas Time, let's have some fun with vintage gift giving. One of my favorite "go to" gifts is candy in a vintage glass dish. It seems so much nicer than just a dish, or just candy. The two together. Seem like a party. Sometimes you luck out with one that is specific for your occasion. I found the perfect little glass candy tray for a gal who loves. What we do need though, is somethi...

Auctions, Flea Markets, Thrift Stores Oh My! Aug 22, 2014. Meet Our Members - Carla from Nuggest of Goodness. I began collecting vintage jewelry and handbags when I was in high school. Time went by and there so many pieces that I didn't wear, I decided to rework them into something new!

Where do you like to hunt for your treasures? I have ...

When my tea room closed (my landlord planned to tear down the 1890 farmhouse that I rented and I was unable to find a suitable new location), I had a small amount of remaining inventory. So in October 2008, I decided to open an Etsy shop. What is your favorite era? What is your current favorite Vintage find? Just that items fi...

Etsy Vintage Team: Plastic Kitsch to Plastic Chic
http://etsyvintage.blogspot.com/2014/08/plastic-kitsch-to-plastic-chic.html
Auctions, Flea Markets, Thrift Stores Oh My! Aug 16, 2014. Plastic Kitsch to Plastic Chic. One of my favorite projects for either my home or my shop is to take an out-dated piece of vintage decor and turn it into to something new and fun! Your first step is to clean up your item. A little bit of soapy water and you are good to go. Give it a couple of hours to thoroughly dry. This piece is pretty large, so I hosed it off outside. Next, you want to gather your supplies. 3 Paper towels or a shop cloth.

And I'm always looking for ways to store my collection and display it at the same time. The vintage ladder, above, sits in a corner of my studio. Here are some display ideas:.
