I am interested in buying and selling items representing Mid century decor, personal items, and anything to do with sewing. Antique and Estate sales in my area are especially fun to go to. I love auctions and have been attending them for years. It's the only way I like to shop unless I am online shopping at Amazon, Etsy or eBay. Amazing old things get stored in people's homes and there's no telling what will be on sale.

I monitor auction ads/bills for antiques in my area. Prices at the local market vary based on weather, crowd size, auctioneer, and many other variables. If an item seems expensive to you, it's because I paid a decent price to get it. I'm a skilled auction buyer going head-to-head with many other shop owners. Auctions are in my blood, as my Uncle and cousins operate J. C. Livestock Auction and I would go there for Saturday auctions as a kid. Bidding and buying is an aged old art and all of the auctions I attend are the English style, where bidding ascends. I'm not an estimator, and will pay whatever the marketplace demands if there is something I want more than others.

So coming to Etsy has been a perfect match. At Prairie Girl Treasure, you will find many interesting items from yesteryear, either recently purchased or stored in our heated building. I rotate items in and out of the shop depending on the level of interest shown by vendors and customers.
