Welcome To My Cardboard Store! Come Play With Me!
When I was little, I had a cardboard store. It contained no real merchandise; however, fruits, vegetables, and other grocery items were printed on its sides in red, yellow, and green. I would make my parents and grandparents play store with me over and over again. I loved to sell them imaginary items from across the tiny cardboard counter. Time after time I would say, "Let's play store!" And I remember their shouts of, "Oh, no! Not again!"
Many years later, I discovered Etsy! I love exploring the vintage finds and creative works of the talented artists on Etsy and decided to open my own Etsy shop -- my own real life Cardboard Store!
Here you'll find cool, unique, hip, rare, hand-selected vintage.
I'm always on the hunt for something old and different. Shopping for vintage has been a pastime of mine for years. I'd see something I like, bring it home, clean it up, and it would turn out to be a prize. My husband and boys kept telling me I had "an eye for things" and I should do something with it.
When my oldest son was leaving for college, we all knew I needed something fun and happy to ease the transition. FabsCardboardStore is an exciting, creative outlet for me and a daily source of joy that I get to pass on to others.
I love the hunt of finding and rescuing fabulous vintage items. Even more fun is the thrill of passing them on to other people who also think they're great!
I shop for my Etsy store the same way I have always shopped. I only select things I LOVE that capture me. And, if something doesn't sell, oh, well, that's okay. It's something I LOVE, and I'll get to keep it! :)
One of the things I enjoy most is preparing packages to send to my customers. I wrap each one specially and use tissue paper and vintage ribbon. I also love back and forth convos and learning what my customers are going to do with their treasures and hearing how much they like them once they arrive.
It's the highlight of my day when people stop by my store!
Hope you enjoy FabsCardboardStore and find something fun here!
