Christmas Past....

This week I finally decided to go through all the Christmas Ornaments that my late husband and I collected and hung on out tree each year in order to pare down.
I decided to keep the beautiful glass ones (mostly animals) that he gave me each year we were together (of course) and pick of few others to give to charity.
In the mix were a few from both our childhoods that I thought some of my customers might enjoy, not that I've decided to let them go-






I will be listing more this week, including some classic glass shiny brights from my collection and recent finds.

Fresh Finds

This week I've been posting a lot of white items in the store..
maybe because it's been so hot and white has a natural calm, cooling effect.
 Maybe I should start buying blue for August!

Anyway-it's always a favorite in the vintage world, and never goes out of style!

Vintage Collection Series- Metal Photo Frames


I've been selling vintage metal photo frames in my store for a few years now and decided last week to use a few in my home. I have such a nice collection of black & white family photos and decide to turn the top of my "bar" (a wood cabinet ) into a place to display them.
These are all of my favorites of my parents (as kids), my grand parents, who are sadly all gone now, and a cute one of my brother and sister and I when I was only two!


Most of these frames come in the usual 5x7 and 8x10 sizes, but you can also find bi-fold and tri-folds which are nice to add to the mix.
Honestly, if you scour enough thrift stores and estate sales, you can find these for a few bucks a piece.
If you don't have time to scour, then you can always buy them from me!
