I enjoy making things, sewing, crocheting, knitting and have been collecting and decorating my home with antiques and vintage for many years. I like the eclectic and unique look of the different styles and decades mixed together.
I started buying antiques when I was in my early 30's, all kinds of things from pottery to kitchen gadgets to furniture(and refinished when needed, too) and started selling soon after (1990's) in an antique shop for twelve years and have been a seller on the internet since 1998. I found out about Etsy from a local seller and found that Etsy also had vintage, so I decided to give it a try.
I knit but crochet mostly and made all kinds of things, hats, shawls, cowls, fingerless gloves, animals, amigurumi food, fish, creatures, large eared green alien ..... I’ve made clothes for the Monster High dolls. My daughter is in her late 20's, so I hadn't made clothes for Barbie size dolls in quite a while. I thought the dolls were cute and hey why not. Several of my sets have fingerless gloves / hand warmers, crochet chokers, capes as accessories, to make them more unique and accessorize other clothes. And since I’m no longer employed during this pandemic kept busy making fabric masks for friends, family, then friends of friends, they are quite easy to find now. So just making for me and husband now. Hopefully the virus will go away soon.
