Coming Soon ... Some Special Interviews!

I have a fun surprise coming up that will interest anyone who is interested in selling on eBay ... stay tuned!

Vintage Sewing Patterns




I think as a result of the economy, there has been a renewed interest in vintage sewing patterns. I do especially well with 1940's - 1960's patterns. I just got in three large boxes of patterns (120 - 150 patterns total) and am having lots of fun looking at the old designs and listing them.

Framed Vintage Valentines











Framed vintage Valentines make really cute gifts! I always mention this in my auctions, but thought I would post some Valentines I've framed as gifts. I bought the little clip frames at Michael's craft store, and the mat paper is scrapbook paper, also from Michael's. These turned out really cute. I especially like the vintage cat card, which was a gift for my Mom. Thought you might like to take a peek as well!

It's raining ... coffeetable books!




I pulled 40 coffeetable books that have been in my store for a while, and moved them to auctions for a 7 day pass (Sunday 2/8 - Sunday 2/15). This will be the last time I'll list them on eBay. I am working to make more room here at my house!
