my snowmen

for about 3 years when i was still doing shows

i made these little bottle snowmen

to sell at christmas.

i made and sold hundreds of them.

when i stopped doing shows

i had a few left and now they

are listed in my etsy shop.

these particular snowmen

were made using wisconsin

cream testing bottles.

i am adding additional christmas items

all week.

anythinggoeshere.etsy.com.

getting it sorted.

the beaded picks in the last post

haven't moved very far.

out of the vase and into a bowl.

my job this week is to get them

out of the bowl,

into groups,

take their glamour shots,

and get them listed.

things are speeding up with the approaching

holiday and i am

slowing down.

today i will be spending the day

packing orders.

but i love every moment of it!

i do have other nice things for sale in my

vintage christmas section.

anythinggoeshere.etsy.com.

take your pick. beaded, of course.

over the years whenever i found any 

mercury glass picks

at estate sales

i just added them to this "arrangement".

you can see how random looking

it has become.

last night i started talking it apart

and over the next couple of days i will

be listing everything for sale 

in my etsy shop,

anythinggoeshere.

another long time christmas collection

goes up for sale.

things are selling briskly.

come by for a visit.

more vintage ornaments!

continuing to add ornaments from my

collection today

to the vintage christmas section

of my etsy shop.

i will be celebrating the holiday later this afternoon.

happy thanksgiving, everyone!

here is a sampling

of my small christmas ornaments in their

original boxes.

all of them are now listed in my shop.

i will be working on the larger boxed ornaments

and groups of ornaments 

without boxes next.

hope you find something that you

would love to add to your christmas collection.

anythinggoeshere.etsy.com.

just a quick hello!

just a quick hello.

i can't believe how busy i have been on etsy.

i have just a handful of vintage beaded garlands

i posted about a couple of weeks ago.

when i finally counted them there were 80+ garlands.

that's what a lifetime of collecting gets you.

i am selling all of my vintage christmas collections

and adding lots of new items every day.

so stop on by my shop

and see what is new.

here is a link to my christmas section 

and one to my etsy shop.

there are less than 10 bunches of

vintage red mercury glass pinecones left.

i had a hundred bunches a year ago

when i found these at an estate sale.

you know what they say,

"when they are gone, they are gone forever."
