I love, love, love me some good ol' auctions. I went to my first one in November and instantly, I was hooked! Needless to say, my house and storage unit started to fill up with some pretty amazing vintage treasures. From Milk Glass to vintage Christmas, I was collecting it all. That was when my husband told me I needed to figure something out before we were run out of house and home with beauties of the past.
Enter Etsy! I realized that I could still find, see and feel all of these pieces of history. Then, best of all, I could find their forever home! I could share that hand embroidered tea towel with someone who would dream of its past just as much as I did!
Here are some pics of my latest finds!
Just look at these adorable salt and pepper sets! Aren't they perfect for Spring?!?
The first set is stamped with Occupied Japan and the second set is just stamped as Japan.
Let me tell you something about myself. A little secret, maybe.... I'm cheap. Like go to auctions and snag up all of the $1 boxes because I don't pay more than $1 cheap. Now, for this set of hatching chicks, I paid $4! Unheard of for me! I just HAD to have them and they are now proudly sitting on my antique secretary's desk ready for the warmth of Spring to arrive!
Throughout the life of this blog, I hope to share all of my love for Vintage and maybe help you find something you can treasure as well!
Until next time!
