Hellooo!
I'm back. I've started antiquing again since I opened my brand new
Etsy Shop. It's been fun. I now feel like a personal shopper for all of you! I'm going to use this blog to show you all my finds. Most of the stuff I purchase will be going directly to Etsy, but I couldn't go antiquing without finding a few treasures of my own!
Since opening my shop, I've had an even stronger desire to go treasure hunting. All ready, I've had some success and some learning experiences. The learning experience I'll save for another day, but it involves breaking something I just purchased!
Today, I went out with a new friend that also likes to antique, but she's still a little new to the experience. She found a few things, which made me happy. She reminded me of myself when I first started picking up things for my first apartment. I started by collecting things I thought were neat, and I even started forming color schemes. Within a year I had a full-blown Pyrex addiction... she's been warned. I'm excited to see how she incorporates her pieces though; everyone has their own style.
Anyway, my new obsession is jadeite. I never thought I'd like it as much as I do, but seeing it paired with white dishes has totally changed my mind! I mean look at it. It's so pretty! These items I picked up today are for resale, but now I want to redo my entire kitchen! Eeek! Maybe another day...
All these items will be for sale in the shop:
Yesterday, I picked up this beautiful mustard yellow carry-on. Just look at it! I love this bag! I did list it in my Etsy shop, but I've already decided if no one buys this before my summer vacation, it's coming with me. I rarely see luggage this nice and clean. The inside is like brand new! I love the color and the durability is next to none. Part of me hopes it doesn't sell. This is one "difficult" aspect about being a vintage re-sell shop. Will I regret not keeping this? 
The "forest fancies" mixing bowl set was the first thing I saw going into a store. I looked the set over and brought it up to counter before looking around more. It always excites to me find something immediately! I've always thought the "forest fancies" set was cute in a very kitsch way and I know it would be perfect for someone out there! They also look cute mixed in with other Pyrex patterns. In the same store, I found more "spring blossom" I've never been crazy about the pattern, but I do like them as mixing bowls, these would also be cute matched with other Pyrex sets!
