Vintage Goodies Galore!!

WHEW....
I wanted to share what I've been up to for the last few days ~

If you hadn't noticed my Etsy shop has been empty for a couple months.  I was letting everything expire so I could see what I had left and I was also collecting new and different goodies from here and there.

Well, for the last few days I've been compiling, photographing and loading it all into the store -



What's New - I've added several jewelry related pieces - Eiffel Tower Charms; Mini Bird Cages; Kraken (octopus) and a way cool garden gate charm that has two doors that actually open.  Once these doors are open there is enough room to create a mini collage inside!!!  How cool is that?  I'm planning on sharing a tutorial showing how to embellish it.

I found some cool vintage looking tinsel garland - antiqued gold and a wired chocolate brown/bronze colored.

Recently I was lucky enough to purchase a whole box full of new old stock Victorian Scrap (a.k.a. German Scrap) - you know the die-cut embossed images printed in Germany.  Well I've been sorting and arranging, measuring and photographing.  These images are WAY cool and can be used for collages, cards, gothic arches, atc's, scrapbooks, etc.   I've still got about 1/2 of them to go but will hopefully get it all loaded in the next day or so.

What's Old is New - I have been hoarding lots of vintage goodies to share with you including a bunch of nifty cigar bands which I love to incorporate into collages; I found more cool flash cards in different sizes that are perfect for making Banners, cards and gothic arches and also a stash of watchmaker vials that are so much fun to use in altered jewelry; collage and mixed media creations. 

I've also got some choice pieces for around the home including a Lefton's Dainty Miss Jam Jar; a cool looking Art Deco blue/yellow salt & pepper shaker set with a little stand and a few other goodies.

Steampunk / Vacuum Tube Goodness - I was also lucky enough to find another stash of old vacuum tubes.  I know some people say they aren't really steampunk but hey it screams it to me so I say go for it ;)  After all, it's your art and if it makes you happy that's what counts right?

So, I invite you over to take a peek at my shop and enjoy browsing at all the goodies.
Come back and tell me what you'd like to see, what you like or even what you don't like. 
If you do you'll be entered to win an assortment of goodies I'm offering up in my store!

You have until 4-11-12 to post a comment to be entered to win!

Good Luck Everyone
and
Happy Window Shopping!!

    Hi Roni!

    I really liked the Kraken-it's so different! The flat keys are really cool and so are the vacuum tubes!

    I am lovin' the vintage cigar bands. My dad was never without his cigar, and we often used the bands to glue on under a glass plate.

    I love all those cigar bands that you have on your store. I've always been crazy about cigar labels and old cigarette trading cards. thats something I would love to see more of around the vintage shopping world. vintage trading cards of all kinds. especially the old cigarette ones. Other than that I see nothing that I would change about your store. stuff is great and prices are wonderful

    Oh, I love the game pieces (Scrabble, bingo etc.) and the flash cards and Bingo assortment. Mostly work with flat stuff for collages, so the cigar bands are also a favorite!
    There is nothing I don't love!!

    The tinsel garland speaks to my heart. It would be grand to use on vintage Christmas ornaments and cards.

    The vacuum tubes are really my favorite thing in the shop, but I do love lots of other stuff. I'm into the 3-D stuff, watch parts, game pieces, charms, etc... Nice selection going there!!

    Again, Roni, you have invited me on side trips that take me hours while I should be doing laundry! I love anything with a "V for Vintage" in it, so those game pieces (especially the Scrabble tiles) immediately caught my eye! I am still a scrapbooker at my core and, since I do still use albums, I pretty much scrap "in the flat." Those game pieces would give my layouts texture and even "personality," yet would still slide easily into my albums! Also love visiting Altered Pages and meeting Terri Sproul!

    Those vacuum tubes just hit me as weird... totally too mad scientist for me.
    The boxes of watchmaker parts are awesome, I would LOVE one of those, even though I'm not much of a stem punk girl!
    Your mountains of Victorian Ephemera is what really speaks to me. <3
    Thanks for a chance to win!!
