As a young child,and adult, I became a lover of history / quilts / antiques and collectibles items.My maternal grandmother and her taste in furnishings for her home contributed to my love and appreciation of old,unique and retired items. Nothing she owned was perfect...but everything was useful, loved and appreciated. It all made you feel ... "AT HOME". Because of this appreciation I have acquired for vintage items in my early development of asthetics.... I visit many fleamarkets,garage sales and salvage areas. When shopping for Vintage Items , I love the THRILL of the HUNT. So in the excitement of discovering Vintage Gold ( or old retired ,yet useful items)... I end up buying, sometimes, just for the fun of owning the piece for a short while. I really adore the treasures that I acquire...but common sense tells me that I cannot keep everything I purchase, as this would eventually crowd me out of my living space. So I now find that I must,with regret, liquidate many of the wonderful treasures that I own.

I hope thru my Etsy shop to locate new homes for these handpicked ,"OLDIES BUT GOODIES".Places where they will shine and be loved, cherished & enjoyed by someone other than myself !!!!

So go ahead....look thru this 'treasure trove' of wonderful nostalgic and appealing 'vintage gold' items. NOTHING'S PERFECT but EVERYTHING IS PERFECTLY NOSTALGIC with LOTS OF YESTER YEAR MEMORIES. Remember that you get to choose without the extra headache or hassle of travel expenses, and having to dig thru piles and piles of garage sale, thrift store, salvage store and flea market accumulations ...for hours on end...unless of course you're a kindred spirit, like me, who enjoys the extra effort of uncovering special and unique items from the past. I hope , you indeed do find that ONE unique item that tugs at your hear so strongly that you just can't live without it. Enjoy!!!
