~ WELCOME TO PRETTY AGNES: hand stamped silverware, jewelry & gifts ~
♥ My greatest joy is rescuing vintage & antique pieces of the past & finding creative ways to incorporate them into the present day. I feel every old item has a story to be told & that notion makes me to want to share each one with the world, through my own, special design. That is clearly the case with the vintage, silverplate spoons & butter knives I stamp, and also with the pins I create. Each gives a nod to the old fashioned days and tales from long ago, yet also leaves you with a sense of inspiration & hope for what is yet to come.
♥ Since 2010 I have run a seasonal, brick & mortar antique shop in New England besides running my first vintage Etsy shop ~ Antique Shop Girl. I have always had a creative streak and over the years, have also been a passionate maker of lovely quilted items, charming mixed media primitives, beautiful stamped wedding silverware, & luxurious skin care products like lip balm, body butter & scrubs, which I have sold in Antique Shop Girl, as well as locally. My stamped silverware was a big hit in my brick & mortar shop, as well as with family & friends, so in 2014 I opened my second shop on Etsy ~ Pretty Agnes ~ & continued my stamping work within a bigger venue. I am proud to say I was the first artisan to have truly original Halloween silverware stamped with clever, spooky sayings back in the day! And I also continued crafting stamped, romantic wedding treasures for brides & grooms across the USA & the United Kingdom! In 2016 I took a long hiatus due to health issues & FINALLY am so happy being back doing what I love & spreading smiles to folks everywhere with my stamped creations.
