Hello and thank you for visiting Flotsam & Jetson!
Thank you for supporting a small business and for buying vintage, gently loved and fabulous housewares, textiles and ephemera from the 1950's through the early 2000's.
We use USPS and UPS for shipping and always combine shipping and refund the difference for all orders when possible.
A note on the concept of "free shipping":
We are a small business and do not offer free shipping as there's no such thing. There is a cost to sending packages around the world. Packaging, transportation costs and labor have to be covered somehow. Larger companies can absorb the cost as they have millions of items in their inventory. We price our shipping fairly and our products always get to our customers quickly and in one piece; just read our excellent reviews. =)
About Flotsam & Jetson:
I have a large collection of beautiful vintage housewares, linens and dry goods, mostly from the 1960's through the 1980's..
I am a huge fan of colorful patterns and cheery designs. I love useful housewares that not only look lovely on the shelf or table, but can be put to use on a daily basis. I love items that are built to last like enameled cast iron, vintage melamine, beautiful cutlery and sturdy fabrics and textiles from the mid century 1900's and early 2000's.
I'm based in the Philadelphia area and sometimes offer open design studio hours for local folks to shop in person. Those dates are posted on my social media links below.
Please browse the store add to your favorites and come back to visit!
I can also be found on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr at @flotsamjetson

Just some of the vintage linens I have in my store..
I love to showcase beautiful vintage textiles & housewares from all over the world. Cookware, cutlery, barware, tableware, fabrics, bedding and more.
Hello! My name is Timothy and welcome to Flotsam Jetson Housewares and Textiles. I've always been inspired by vintage patterns, designs and colors in my own life. I'm also a huge fan of recycling and trying to live a more sustainable life.
The items I seek out for you have history, meaning and have lasted for many years. Everything from plates, pots and pans to fabrics and bedding have some sort of importance to the world of arts and crafts.
I look for quality craftsmanship, comfortable materials and things that are still in great condition. I can hopefully bring beautiful things into your home or business..
