All Customers: If you purchase from BOTH of my shops, I will refund any shipping overage you might incur, just let me know prior to checking out as my shops are not automatically connected.
Local Cville / Charlottesville, VA Customers: FREE shipping (I'll meet you at a convenient location and deliver your items). Use COUPON CODE: BUYLOCAL for free local pick up of your item!
International Customers: If shipping seems high - contact me your country and I will try to do better. UK customers should be aware of potentially high VAT customs fees and read gov.UK notice 143.
*************
For any online purchase you make on any platform if your item is damaged in transit you will need to send complete and clear photos of 3 items 1) each individual item, 2) the box, 3) all packing materials. You must retain the complete order of broken items and packaging until your claim has been completely processed. Refunds are based on the individual items in your order that were damaged.

One of my Happy Customers - the girls love his vintage Forsythia Hill Shades so much they gave him a kiss.
Moving into my family home began the start of collecting and moving out began the start of selling.
Moving out of my family home and ending my job as Executive Director of a Humane Society gave me the opportunity to explore other employment options. Etsy was the perfect fit for my love of vintage and photography, allowing my creative mind and collecting to expand.
My Etsy shop features Virginia family treasures and estate consignment (Ellen Kate's Closet ~ Petite Ladies Fashions & Hilde and Ella Upscale Home Decor). Pristine Womens Clothing plus Purses, Belts, Hats, and Scarfs, Mens Clothing and Ties, Vintage Jewelry, Books, and Kitchen, Barware and Dining. Several TV Shows have purchased my vintage - it's fun trying to spot them being used once again!
Forsythia Hill Vintage opened 12 years ago (named because I can see Forsythia out of each and every window in my home business) and has expanded from one to two shops. During that time I've sold over 5,000 items.
Running my own business allows me to be at home with my animals leading a self-sufficient lifestyle and photographing nature that continues to surprise me with each passing day. The view from my shop office is surrounded by nature, birds, deer, chickens, and Virginia mountains.
If you adore vintage like me, shop with me @ ForsythiaHill.etsy.com

Frequently asked questions
Do you sell locally in Cville
I am always happy to meet you at a convenient location for you to see your item in person AND for you to avoid paying shipping fees! Use coupon code BUYLOCAL if you are a local buyer so the shipping fees will not be included in your order.
Do you sell internationally, outside of the US
Yes! I love international sales. I have never had an item not arrive to its destination.
UK customers should be aware of potential extra VAT fees and read gov.UK notice 143.
How long does it take to receive my item
I offer super speedy packing. You item is typically put in the mail the same day if received early enough in the day. I don't mess around with your order!
After I have put your item in the mail, If you live in a State nearby to Virginia it takes the postal service typically 2 days. West Coast postal delivery can take 4 but I've seen 2 day deliveries as well.
International will depend on how long an item takes to be processed by your customs office and can vary from 2 days to 4 weeks but typically it takes 5 - 10 days to arrive in your hands.
Do you have more of one item available
Typically I only have one item available as every piece of clothing, jewelry, glassware, or book is totally one of a kind authentic vintage.
If you have spotted one of my items on another platform (Facebook, pinterest, Instagram) and are unable to find it in my shop, it is possible I still have the item! Send me a message, I'm happy to check my inventory.
My Eyewear Shop is the exception, as often I do have multiple pairs of frames, coins, and leashes.
I found a sticker on my vintage item
Finding a manufacturer or retail sticker on an item can be the best identifier in authenticating and dating a piece. Do not be alarmed if you find an old price sticker or other identifier on your item. I only sell carefully researched vintage items and I leave as much history on the piece as I can so you can feel confident your item is indeed an authentic vintage item.
