Rabbit of the Day


I don't have many actual Easter Decorations,
but I do have some bunnies who are hopping out to play
during this run-up to Easter.

She is helping me by being a prop in one of my etsy photos.
Isn't she cute?  Look at those adorable ears.

And yes, she is a vintage Steiff.
In the Steiff World her name is Niki, and she 
was introduced in 1951.

My Personal Favorite


This is my favorite thing for sale in my etsy shop.

He is a cute little vintage Easter Egg Candy Container made in Germany
before World War II.



I am selling some things from my personal antique collection.
He is one of those things.

Here is Mr. Bunny where he lives at my home.

He is looking for a new home.

Sharp As A Tack!


Anyone who reads my blog knows that I have been selling on etsy 
for the last 8 months.

One of my purposes for selling on etsy is to DE-stash
my long time stashes.

And this last week has been the biggest DE-stash yet.



At the start of last week I listed hundreds and hundreds and hundreds
 of 12 different kinds tacks from
two different Estate Sales of upholsterers that I went to many years ago.

So, so time consuming~ all that counting, and photographing,
but these are the only 3 kinds left so it was very productive.

A thousand+ tacks went to one customer in California!



(These are fun tacks with extra long shanks.)

And in addition to that I took groups photos of 150 vintage copper print blocks of hardware
items from an Estate of a guy who did Hardware Store advertising.

And sent 106 of them to Canada.

Oh, I am SO loving this etsy thing!!!!!!!!


Stop by and see what I am DE-stashing this week 
at

And thank you to everyone who is helping by
moving along my stashes to your house!!!!

I hope you are enjoying them as much as I have!

Shabby Chic Your Flower Boxes

Last summer at an Estate Sale I bought a bucket full of these
 white iron flowers, and all winter
I have been selling them on Etsy
in sets of 3 for $15.

Now I am down to the last set and
I was thinking how nice they would look
embellishing a simple flower box.


Fortunately a set of 3 fits into a small Priority Mail flat rate box
so this set has a shipping charge of only $5.

Do you see the possibilities for your flower box?  If so they
are listed here at anythinggoeshere.etsy.

Updated~ Now SOLD

The weather here in Chicagoland is supposed to be nice
this weekend
so I will be out checking the winter damage to my garden.

How about you?

Ah, March!

The month we can start thinking about hanging
the clothes out to dry in the spring weather.

March, the month to celebrate the humble clothespin.

And, anythinggoeshere.etsy is ready to help

15

5
different kinds:

Pinch-Syle Squared Off
Clip-Style
and
A Variety Pack of all of them.





And I have each of these styles in 3 different quantities.

The sun-burst listings are all for 12 clothespins.
Kind of a clothespin starter kit.


The listings under a cloche are for
36 clothespins.


And the listing of clothespins in the clothespin basket are for
SERiOUS clothespin lovers.

These listings are for 100 clothespins.

I love all the ways that vintage clothespins are being repurposed.

They deserve their own month of celebration.

Bring some home today 

Put them to work.  They are very handy and

Instant Collection: A Latch Stash



You are going to need one of these soon.


You just don't know it yet.



It is like insurance.



You'll kick yourself later for not getting them now.




Oops!  Someone has already bought their insurance and the Latch Stash is sold.
It took someone only 15 minutes to buy some protection.

I am listing other vintage hardware from my personal stash.
