Vintage Pixie Fairy Coffee Pot

Fri, 18 Dec 2009 20:13:00 -0500

$40.00

Super sweet and labelled by L.Batlin.

It measures between 7 and 8" tall to the top of the pot.

There are two chips to note....one on the inside that is not seen when the lid is on, and one on the outside that is noticable but I don't think it's a big deal on a piece as sweet as this...I did photograph it so you can judge for yourself.

Vintage Pixie Fairy Ceramic planter

Fri, 18 Dec 2009 20:13:00 -0500

$35.00

There is no indication of maker, so I'm not sure of origin or age.

The pixie stands about 7" wide and between 5 and 6" tall.

Typical crazing for older pottery, but in fine shape for your collection!

REDUCED Vintage vinyl purse for hardcore vintage enthusiasts

Fri, 18 Dec 2009 20:13:00 -0500

$20.00

was $40.00

This is not a purse for just anyone...

It is so perfectly good, so perfectly vintage that it deserves to have a new good home with someone who has a true appreciation for all things vintage!

It measures approx 9" wide, by 7" high. The vinyl is in impeccable condition - I don't think that this has ever been used.

The color is as true a red as you can get. ( I used a really strong flash to try and get true color...so much flash that it picked up fingerprints...so just excuse those...you don't see them with your natural eye).

The handle appears as one piece, but it is split into two separate vinyl strands.

I cannot see any notation of maker.

vintage Stavangerflint Tiles - made in Norway

Fri, 18 Dec 2009 20:13:00 -0500

$10.00
Very bright and colorful! These tiles measure just around 6" x 4".

I am selling both together - what a wonderful addition to any collection!

There are no chips or cracks or loss of color....there is some camera glare which makes them appear worn, but that is not the case.

Vintage Peter Rabbit on Parade Toffee Tin

Thu, 17 Dec 2009 21:12:43 -0500

$45.00
darling tin with Peter Rabbit and all his friends!

It used to have a handle but that has long since been broken off - the lid is hinged and it is still in good condition.

I have not attempted any cleaning on the surface of this tin.

The tin is about 5" across.

Each of the animals is identified with their names around the whole tin....so very cute...!

Vintage Metal Recipe Box - shabby - fleur de lis

Thu, 17 Dec 2009 21:08:03 -0500

$15.00

Just the right amount of chippiness to be chic!

Standard recipe or file cards fit just fine - I will leave the dividers in there for you to do with as you wish.

The color is quite creamy - the photos make it appear a bit whiter than it is in person. The trim and decorations are gold.

Vintage Humpty Dumpty Nursery Lamp

Wed, 16 Dec 2009 20:47:54 -0500

$40.00
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall and fell somewhere along the way.....

...sometime in this egg's life he has lost a wooden arm....if you are crafty you could probably replace it... Hardly takes away from the charm though...he is absolutely adorable!

It didn't have a shade when I found it so I married it up to this one - if you have another idea for a shade let me know and I can ship it without and give you a price break on it too....

It is about 16" high to the top of the shade ( which wouldn't change much since it is a shade that clips onto the light bulb).

***I found another one in this series from another Etsy seller here:http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=36076327

Vintage farmhouse scale - holds up to 24 lbs

It is about 9" tall.

Vintage puffy quilt - retro vintage fabrics

Wed, 16 Dec 2009 20:34:53 -0500

$35.00
This found quilt reminds me of Grandma's house...nothing fancy but oh so comfy!

The squares are unified with turquoise and the borders are simple squares of various retro fabrics.

The batting is the lumpy / puffy kind and the backing is a vintage sheet.

I'm tempted to keep this one for myself but I gotta pass things along!

It measures about 29" x 66".

It has been laundered with scent free soap. I don't see anything other than some minor spots on here to note.

It is a very fine, lightweight metal, and the stone simply sparkles with all the facets in it.

I've photographed it the best I can for you - please ask any questions that may help you determine more info about it.

It is about 2" wide

$49.99
Not sure what this guy's problem is, but he sure doesn't look very happy....maybe it's because he's been holding the same position for so many years....I dunno.

Made in occupied Japan, he is a treasure for more than one reason....perfect for any vintage figurine collection, baseball collection or Occupied japan collection, he holds appeal as a cross collectible.

The white marks you see are mostly camera glare - there are no major nicks to note, perhaps some very tiny ones consistent with age.

He stands just under 4" tall.

I layered it up with a pink crocheted doily and a watch chain. The chain is held together by an old tie pin.

now $75

This lamp sits approximately 3 feet tall. It has a black base. The 'leaf' part is smoky grey/black lucite or plastic.

I didn't have any of the round bulbs to put in there, but you can see that it works just fine!

On the leaf, you can see that one of the ends of the screw is missing ( it is a little silver ball). Everything still sits fine...it does not affect the lamp at all.

Shipping something this large is going to be fairly expensive - probably around $50 - $70 to most USA locations. Please convo me with your address and I will work that out for you - please do that before hitting the Buy button so that the invoice can be updated with actual shipping charges for you. (shipping is NOT zero) thanks!

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 11:16:02 -0500

$15.00
I have never seen this set in a cobalt blue....lots of green, yellows and ambers in the marketplace, but I've NEVER seen a blue set that is as stunning as this set!

The 'candles' are just solid resin...no real burning allowed! They are a bit wobbly in the holders, but they can easily be propped up with a bit of tin foil ( or chewing gum!)...

The bottoms have a few nicks etc. from sitting on the table...all within reasonable expectations for the age of the piece.

This set weighs 6 1/2 pounds so it is not cheap to ship...but oh so worth it! If the actual shipping to your location is cheaper, I will certainly refund any difference.

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 09:13:58 -0500

$85.00

I don't think this goes quite as far back as the Victorian age, but I would guesstimate it in the 20's for sure.

It fits quite snugly up around the neck bone. It has a lovely rhinestone framed faceted black mourning bead, and then a larger drop faceted black mourning bead.

This is a one-of-a-kind and quite a treasure to own!

REDUCED totally rad 80s purple suede boots

Sat, 07 Nov 2009 17:07:23 -0500

$25.00
now $25

One of two pairs I picked up this weekend....the soles do not show much wear at all, and the suede is in good condition.

There is no size listed, and I would say they are probably size 6 1/2. They measure about 10" from heel to toe tip.

There are silver protectors on the heels and the toes, and they look a bit spotty from age, but could still be shined up nice and bright!

These are a bit of a lining in them, which helps to keep the shape of the uppers.

There are some tiny holes at the top, which I do believe had some of those silver conches in them...(trust me, I do believe I had a pair of these when I was much younger...) The holes are quite minor.

These probably lived in the home of a smoker...it's not horrible, but they have that perfumy/smoke mix smell to them...again, not horrible but I do want you to know.

$19.99
I don't know how old this might be; the fabrics appear to at least be a 60's or newer vintage. There are some water stains that I have not tried to remove.

Very nice Egyptian theme to it; some fabrics have shredded, but less than 5% overall is affected.

It is about 54" high and 17 1/2" wide. With etsy cropping the photo, it is hard for me to show the whole wallhanging in one photo - email me if you are interested and I can send you a full-length photo.

My home is non-smoking and it smells like it lived in another non-smoking home before I got it.

** The shipping rate below is not valid - I like to quote actual shipping charges based on your address - pls email me with any inquiries and I will get right back to you.

Vintage Lace Up Corset Dress Majorette style

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 16:44:25 -0500

$20.00
This is so-o-o adorable! It might have been a figure skating or majorette sort of costume, but the label in it is a very well known Vintage clothing Manufacturer in Toronto, so I think it was made as daily wear.

The entire length of the dress is approx 30". Back shoulder to shoulder seam is 12"; Waist is approx 24". The skirt itself has a really cute flair to it - it flares out to about a 56" circle.

I think it is wool.

There is a partial lining just around the shoulders and the neck. The zipper is metal and operates fine.

The garment has no odd smells or odors. No damage whatsoever.

Trust me, it's sweet. Pair this up with a beret and a muff, and my oh my, you have a picture of loveliness!

so very cute!

These are labelled size 7 - I measured along the sole from front to back of heel and it's about 10".

I'm pretty sure they are leather and that the fur is real, although I couldn't identify it for you.

some slight wear on the heels but it could be buffed up...I'm not sure if the heels are real stacked wood or a plastic imitation....it's kind of hard to tell...

Artist Signed Vladmir TRETCHIKOFF print The Dying Swan

Mon, 14 Sep 2009 11:56:36 -0400

$99.99

Vladmir Tretchikoff did a tour of the famed EATONS department store through this part of the country in the mid 60's and signed copies of his framed prints. He rarely did signings any where else so these are hard to come by!

This particular print measures approx 30 1/2" by 24"
(outside of the frame). Signed and dated as shown.

Shipping will be pretty pricey because it is a non-standard package size, so I'm putting an estimated cost in here and before you click the 'buy' button, convo me with your address and I will check and update for you.

His bio can be found on this site:http://www.vladimirtretchikoff.com/
Prints and posters of his work are still highly sought after. He died in 2006.

"To know his work is to understand an artist who became a phenomenon. A man who never compromised because he was being lead by an all-encompassing drive to do what he loved, to paint. Even in the face of adversity, he continued to pursue his passion, unashamedly."

$20.00
These have been painted white at some point in their life....the backside is a brass color, so that is likely what is under the paint.

I would suggest they be rewired for safety, I have no idea if the current wiring will work, but often it does!

They are about 7" tall. There is a hole in each of the 'bells'...it would have had a black switch knob poking out of it...( I know, my Grandma used to have these in her 40s house!)

This is a sweet gown right out of the 70s. I don't think it has been worn ( at least not for a night of sweaty dancing!)

The skirt is double layer. The gingham is a see-through polyester type fabric over top of an off while polyester under skirt....

Will fit best for a bust size of 35-36"; the waist is about 25" and the length from the bodice ( where the gingham starts) to the bottom is 46"
