Welcome to Looking Glass Magic Emporium! Please review the following information about our story/the store's fine print below:

I spend my time between two places that I call home, rural southern Iowa (Where I was born), and a magical little fishing village just south of Barcelona. This means this Etsy Shop is a decade vintage collection of a blend of both places that I've accumulated over the years. I have a whole garage full of items that we are starting to upload onto the Etsy shop here, so please stay tuned for more European vintage finds!

All profits I made from selling items from my page go to my (501(c)(3) Rescue Me International Animal Foundation. I (Cheryl) have dedicated my life to advocating for senior and special needs animals and addressing the homeless pet crisis globally. I raise funds to operate my senior and special needs animal hospice for over 3 decades, to implement Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) promotional effort programs in local communities in Spain and the Midwest, US, and to cover the costs of fostering stray cats/dogs. The animal welfare of our community is not solely an animal issue. Rather, it is first and foremost, a human issue.

LOOKING GLASS MAGIC ETSY SHOP FINE PRINT:

Our Vintage Item Conditions: This store selectively lists high-quality vintage pieces found by the team members. As with any vintage item, such pieces will show preloved wear or their age, and any visible markings on our shop's listings will be described in the listing's description. We do our best to ensure appearance conditions are listed as accurate; however, a small note about the item's condition may unintentionally be overlooked. Therefore, please read our comments about an item's condition thoroughly, zoom in on photos, and don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions about a specific item's vintage charm!

Make An Offer: This store is happy to negotiate/discount on price when we can. So please take advantage of the "Make an offer" option available on all of our listings.

All sales of store items are final. We do not accept cancellations, returns or exchanges, so please look at all photos and videos closely and feel free to message with your questions prior to purchasing!

Thank you for the support!

Foxy is adorable and is just quirky enough to live on my desk at work.

Thanks again for the review! This is one of my favorite vintage scores this year, so I'm thrilled to see that it had found its new home by the end of the year. Happy Holidays✨

Curated vintage European and American decor

Joyful, whimsical items with a story.

I grew up on a traditional, midwestern family farm, surrounded by old people (my ancestors) and houses full of “old stuff.” I loved my childhood and I still love old people and old stuff. The world is full of new. But vintage items bring delightful stories and memories to a space. No assembly instructions with vintage items. Just the opportunity to continue the story of these pieces within your own space.
