Updates are coming soon to the blog! Life has been so crazy I haven't had a chance to update.  However, I've been doing a lot of shopping and I'm ready to pass along the savings to you!

Everyone, be sure to check out Amanda's esty store! She has some wonderful hand crafted items available!  I'm particularly fond of her beautifully crafted cards!  (Hint, hint, viewers!)  She has a wide range of items to fit everything from your fingers to your hair!  Check out her rings to her bobby pins! There is something to fit every outfit you own!

P.S. Her shipping rates are unbelievably LOW! So, be sure to spend the money you save on shipping on a second or third item from her store!

My goodness! It has been 2 months!

I can't believe it has been nearly two months since my last post! Summer is flying by for me and I'm spending a lot of time searching for items!  Last week I hit an amazing flea market where I got a gorgeous antique crock, 2 large Raggedy Ann & Andy dolls, and a few vintage yard sticks for a friend! It was a wonderful time and if you're in Jeffersonville, IN be sure to check out Bernie's Bargain Barn! They'll have a sale I'm sure!

My most prized recent piece is the antique typewriter!  It's absolutely gorgeous and is in excellent condition.  It only needs a new ribbon and it should work fine!  Be sure to check out the deal on eBay for more pictures and information.

Be sure to message me if you're in the Louisville, KY area! If you have something you'd like to sell let me know!

Red Rose Porcelain Tea Figurines!

I recently came across a lot of cool Red Rose Porcelain Tea Figurines at a sale.  They're adorable so I had to buy them! The research part of them has been so much fun to do! They come in various series and were all started by a lady wanting gifts for others.  Over the years the original molds have broken or torn up, so vintage and antique pieces can be worth some money! I think my favorite has to be the "Strongman" figurine! It's so darn cute!

Be sure to check out the eBay site myworld.ebay.com/gudgeon369 to see some more of the figurines and to hopefully buy one or two!

It has been way too long since I last wrote for the blog! The end of the school semester kept me crazy busy, so I haven't had a lot of time to devote to antiques.  Now that summer is here I'm back at it!  I've just posted a lot of items on eBay at lower prices.  Inventory needs to be cleared for summer stock.  My job is now going to allow me to travel some this summer so I'll be "thrifting" and "antiquing" in many new places.

Be sure to check out the eBay deals under myworld.ebay.com/gudgeon369    Who knows, if you email me on ebay maybe you'll get a discount on an item!

Wooden Hangers!

It has been way too long since I posted last! Things are very busy with school and work! Plus, I've been located some great deals on more vintage and antique items! My recent find that I'm most excited about are antique wooden hangers! There are pictures posted below. They're super cool! I wish I had an idea on how to use them.

Inventory Cleanout!

My inventory has grown too much this past winter! So, in order to make room for new spring and summer items I've posted all sorts of low price sales on eBay, there's everything from vintage photographs to glassware and hankies. Check the listings out and grab something before it's gone.

Free eBay Listings!

Today only I can list as many items as possible for free! That means inventory will be posted like crazy! Be sure to check out my newest items and the free shipping items. It's a great way to save money, so you can spend more on your products! Tell all of your friends about the big listing surge, too!

Spring is in the air!

Spring is in the air! With beautiful weather outside I'm now motivated to get moving on eBay postings! Today I just posted some cool new items, mostly handkerchiefs and pearls again! It's such fun posting these items and to hear the stories of what folks do with the items they buy. If you buy something from my store, feel free to contact me with your ideas of how to use the item! My favorite item I uploaded today was the vintage Michigan hankie! So cool to see this piece underneath everything else. I'm hoping it'll bring back some great memories for someone out there!

Handkerchief Crafting!

My mother taught me a lot about the thrifting world! Recently, when she was out and about she got a bargain on 11x14 picture frames. They've been stored in a box for a few weeks now because we couldn't decide what to do with them. Then one rainy afternoon it hit me! Let's combine the two and make some wonderful wall art. Handkerchiefs once came with gorgeous designs on them and I want to preserve those in my home. So here in the pictures are my new additions to my dining room! I can't wait to see what else I can do with these!

Glassware Galore!

I grew up with an appreciate for vintage glassware. Both of my grandmothers loved all types and collected every piece they touched. Fortunately I have received a few of their priced pieces, which are now on display in my farmhouse. These passionate women helped me to understand the value of glassware and helped me determine a bargain! Recently, while out hunting I ran across some great deals on all types of glassware. Later on I'll be posting these items on my eBay site, so be sure to check them out!

Insulators, Pearls, & Cards! Oh my!

I've reached my eBay limit for the month of February, so that's great news!

Thankfully we have a leap day tomorrow so I'll be able to prepare many new items for the sale!

Many new items will be listed this Thursday to Saturday! Be sure to check them out and get your bid in early!

There will be special deals on antique glass insulators, a ton of pearl jewelry pieces, and almost 500 business cards! Grab that item to fit into your style!

Sales Ending Soon!

Many items are ending their sales within the next few days! Be sure to check them out and get your items while you can! I'll be posting more items toward the end of this week. Check back every weekend to find many new items on the site.

Also, if you're looking for something special let me know! I'll be happy to help you find that unique piece to complete your collection.

Vintage Postcards!

I think postcards are some of the coolest vintage items around! They seem to tell so many stories through their photos. I have a tiny collection of used postcards that have some amazing stories! My favorites are from the early 1900s; the topics written about included medical and financial information. Now we write about being across the world.

Earlier today I uploaded a few sets of vintage, new postcards! Be sure to check them out and send a vintage card to your friends and loved ones today!
