second hand goods

Home decor is something I have always loved to shop for. I frequently change my displays and collections, and cycle through tchotchkes like nobodies business. For the last several years (ten or more) I have passed on my gently used goods to my sisters, mother, or friends who find a new use for them in their own homes. It’s a habit that drives my husband crazy, because it usually means I buy more.

 

Well, this year I thought why not list the items that I have simply tired of or no longer have a place for. It’s a virtual yard sale, that might just find you a few good deals. A few of the items are one-offs from shop inventory, things I have been hoarding, or just decor I used in my own home that won’t fit in my Etsy shop, as it’s too “new” to be considered “vintage” and to “old” to be considered “new”… if you catch my drift.

 

I hope to add products to the Second Hand Shop weekly or so, so check back in from time to time. I am also adding new items (finally!) to the much neglected Etsy shop.

 

I also have a fun giveaway, that I’d like to share with you today.

 

Heather, at Post Road Vintage has offered to award one of my lucky readers with a handmade soap dispenser.

Fashioned from vintage Mason jars, these beauties have that awesome vintage appeal, while also looking fresh and clean with their coat of white paint and modern dispenser.

Just leave a comment on this post to enter to win, and be sure to check out Post Road Vintage and the new Second Hand Shop.

I will announce a winner on Sunday, October 17th.

Congratulations to Sandy (comment #10) you are the lucky winner. I will email you with details, so be sure to respond with your shipping address. Thank you to all who participated.

 

No baby news to report as of yet, but I promise to update as soon as I have something to share! Hope you all had a wonderful holiday weekend.

summer giveaway

If you are anything like me, then you love to shop Etsy for vintage finds. I have more than a handful of favorite shops who always seem to find vintage goodies that get my ideas flowing, inspire décor, and just plain ol’ make me “want” something I hadn’t seen before.

That brings me to today’s featured shop: What’s New on the Mantel. This Portland shop is stocked full of oldies but goodies, and is giving one special reader a Summer inspired gift.

 

Sitting inside a vintage aqua Ball Perfect Mason jar is a collection of shells and a black & white photo post card.

 

To win this little lovely, just visit What’s New on the Mantel and leave a comment below as to which item in their shop you think is the bee’s knees.

A winner will be announced Tuesday July 5th.

Good luck! And happy fourth!!!

congrats

Thank you to all of you who entered our giveaway, and who made such lovely comments about Jeanne’s work. She had a wonderful launch of her Town and Country Line, and is restocking many of the items that sold out so quickly, so make sure you check back soon!

 

The winner of this gorgeous messenger tote is lucky “Linda Sonia”. (Picked by random number generator). Linda, you lucky girl, I will send you a quick email and get your info so Jeanne can send you this beautiful bag!

Sorry I am a bit behind again this week, so I am skipping “i heart” monday for the week. But stay tuned…. BIG news is coming soon…..
