New Record

The fastest thing I ever sold on etsy.com was a set of silver salt-and-pepper shakers shaped like owls. My son, actually, was the one who found them and I put them on the site for him. He was thrilled when they sold in three-minutes flat.

The second place winner was a Cosco child's booster seat from the fifties, very mid-century modern. It sold to a man in Italy in ten-minutes.

But yesterday, there was a new winner that supplanted the salt-and-pepper shaker, shaving more than a full minute off the best time and pushing the Cosco chair into third-place. And the winner is...Ta da...this approximately 40-plus year-old metal storage shelf from a garage sale. Sold one-minute after I put it on the etsy shop. I had a feeling it would go quickly, such a great rustic piece and still very useful. The industrial look is very hot right now, and one I like myself.

Ah, rust and dents, big sellers...quick ones too.

Easter's Coming...you know what that means

More weird bunnies!


Linda, Lee and I haven't been out poking around together in the thrift stores for weeks and were having withdrawal, so we went to two of our favorites today.
Lee won the best picker prize, scoring a few nifty doo-dads like two antique wooden shoe-forms and a souvenir tray from the 1967 World's Fair. Linda found a couple interesting things too, and I found a vintage enameled copper bowl and some funky 70's mugs.

I couldn't help notice the thrift stores are getting ready for Easter, so the shelves that were recently wiped clean of Santas, are now full of bunnies - and a lot of them are not very cute. Some are down right creepy.






I've said it before in this blog...beware, demented bunnies multiply on the thrift store shelves.
