A new week starting after a busy one last week.

This week I am blogging after I have listed all these items on the store. Unusual for me, but that's the way the week went. So many fun things found thrift shopping.


Many vintage pillow cases. Bright colors, mostly standard size, some cotton, mostly cotton and polyester and amazingly all floral patterns. Just love it when we find these.


A beautiful Vera sheet. Blue with more flowers and yellow butterflies. It was a good week for finding vintage linens.




We found NIP pillow forms, statutes of Mary, vintage ice cube trays, coin bank and wire baskets to aid in the organization of the apartment. The blue Bar Code Pyrex was listed and SOLD within 18 hours of listing. Great find going to a new home. 




It was a week of finding many different vintage items. Home made pink doilies with a baby blue edge, a vintage plastic Madonna and child and this NIP, made in Japan cheese and cracker tray just to post a few of the finds. It was a fun week. I know it's a full time job being an on line re seller, but finding and learning about some of these items makes it fun. 
All of these items are listed on poetcharms.etsy.com so stop by and check out all the items newly listed.

A few thrift finds this week.

 
Vintage items found this week.
 
 
It's not that there are so few items to be found out there because if I had the room to store things I could make this a booming business. I think this will come in time, but for today taking one moment at a time is the best I can do. First find was a leather purse handle. It's 24 inches long and although it's not vintage it will make a beautiful addition to any home made purse. My first vintage find were these waxed paper stencils used with window wax to decorate for the holidays. Admitting that I used  these, ages me and age is a number not my life. I have a lot of living left to do.
 
 
Then there was this lovely set of Wamsutta rainbow and clouds sheets. These seem to sell quickly on etsy. There was also this lovely 1950's Vera scarf.  It has her famous lady bug trademark on it. The camera will not do it justice. It is dark purple and pink not the blue that the camera is picking up. I have some friends that will be helping me get better pictures so that it can be listed.
That's about all for today. I have some growing and marketing to get done, but I wanted to get this post done and stay up with everyone. I hope everyone has a wonderful week and I'll be watching my blogs list to see what everyone else is up to.
