With the very first Vintage Weekend show behind me (next one is Oct. 24 - 26, save the date!) I was able to get some auctions listed on eBay, plus these guys, which are in my store at fixed price with best offer:
I couldn't grab these quick enough when I saw them at an estate sale a couple of weeks ago - the cuteness knows no end! I've only sold 2 so far, so there are plenty left to choose from... :)
My Vintage Weekend shop is OPEN - along with 9 other fab shops who are offering up some seriously fresh vintage finds, between today and Sunday! Please do swing on by and check out everyone's stuff - and don't forget to sign up for the email newsletter while you are there, so you can stay in the loop! :)
I've got about 25 items listed in my shop, most of which I've never listed anywhere else before... new goodness, indeed! Here are just a few of my favorites, head on over to my shop to check out the rest! And don't forget, all Vintage Weekend show items are shipping for FREE to the US!
The very first Vintage Weekend show starts tomorrow and runs through Sunday! Above is a little sneak peek of some of the items I'm going to have listed - I'll have way more than this, of course, so be sure to stop by and check it all out... Did I mention US shipping is FREE? Yep, it is! :)
I made myself step away from my new Vintage Weekend project for a while this week to get some auctions listed. Next week is likely to be light on the listing front, since the 1st Vintage Weekend show is next weekend!! I will be posting some sneak previews of the items I am going to be listing for the show, so stay tuned for that...
A while back I did a post about 1980's home decorating, and noted the cookware in one of the scans - this one, to be specific:
My exact quote was "Can you make out the pots on the stove? They have big numbers on the side of them - I want some of those for sure!".
I've kept an eye out for them ever since, and never ran across anything even remotely similar - until this week! I was researching some Sanko Ware "Country Flowers" enamel cookware that I was listing at auction, and came across this completed listing:
It sold for $5.00 plus shipping - and it was new in box! While I am so, so sad that I missed the chance to bid on it, I'm so, so happy that I at least have a brand and pattern name to search for! I don't know if it is the exact same stuff that was in that 80's magazine scan, but it is close enough for me - officially added to my holy grail list! :)
What I've done is gathered together some of my amazing vintage selling friends to try out a new way for people to buy and sell antiques and collectibles online - it's based on the traditional real world flea market / antique show experience, only it's all done on the web instead of out in a field!
The show will happen once a month, Friday through Sunday - hence the Vintage Weekend name. All the dealers will open up their shops ONLY for the weekend of the show. From what I've heard from everyone, they will be offering up a lot of fresh finds - stuff they haven't listed anywhere else before. I know I have personally been stockpiling stuff for the last month or so, saving it specifically for my Vintage Weekend shop!
There is a complete dealer list on the website, and also there are category pages that will lead you to dealers that have items in that category available during the show. Payment is through PayPal, and shipping to the USA is FREE.
The best way to stay up to date with all the Vintage Weekend news is to sign up for the email newsletter - especially if you want show date reminders! I'll also use that list to put out a call for new dealers, when we get to that point...
I also set up a Facebook page and a Twitter account (Pinterest is coming soon!). Give us a follow, it should be a fun show! :)
