HipCricket - HipPicker Custom Picks for ALL Your Shop Needs! Offering Quality Vintage, Antique and Custom Jewelry, Art and Collectibles on Etsy since 2011. A lover of all the decorative arts, I truly love these pieces - these tiny treasures of Yesteryear. I’m a storyteller at heart and the stories I can imagine behind each piece, is a slice of history. A little bit about myself; I began this journey at the tender age of 12, attending and eventually selling at the local flea markets, swap meets and bazaars. I started with what drew my eye - what I liked. As I continued the journey, my tastes changed, my eye became more refined and I began to notice things like era, make, maker - signatures both written and signed by design. As my collection grew, I started to trade and sell seconds, doubles or items I no longer wanted in my own collection - in order to finance an upgrade. This was the very beginning of a Life Long Love Affair with jewelry and decorative arts in general. What began as a means to an end soon blossomed into what you see before you today. The search is still thrilling for me and that has become what I collect. The stories from the Hunt. From the road - from the chase. The byproduct of this thrill seeking is what I have on offer at HipCricket. Everything changes, cycles to become fresh again. Trends, styles and designs -all things old become new once more. Vintage tells that story. Piece by piece, we unravel that thread that connects us to the past. Vintage and antique pieces are truly recycling at it's very best. Something that carries with it a smaller eco footprint than many other choices do. I believe this. Etsy allows for three avenues to converge and HipCricket is at each corner, ready to assist. Whether Vintage/Antique, Supply or Handmade, these pieces are available for any season, any reason. For those looking to be inspired? HipCricket will offer the occasional supply, separates and lots, individual pieces and kits. At the very heart of creativity is the song of our spirits, writ large, across whatever medium we choose to express it.
