I just wrote a couple of articles here and elsewhere on the web about vintage gift baskets. Today, I walked into the JW Riley emporium to find some dealers have put the same suggestion to work in their own booths. They are all getting ready for the holiday shopping season! I [...]
Vintage Christmas Sleigh Basket with Vintage gifts I recently wrote an article about making holiday gift baskets with vintage gifts for the upcoming holiday season. Yes, by the way, Christmas is only two months from today or 61 days away. It’s coming up quicker than you think! A confession: I am actually addicted to making [...]
Last summer, (yes, that long ago), I bought these two end tables with the intent to re-do them, give them some life and beauty. Unfortunately, life got in the way. We bought a house and moved. Since, they have been buried in the garage. I finally decided to dig them out, re-do them and get [...]
Our garage is chock-full of miscellaneous items we picked up to eventually go in the booth. There weren’t a lot of auctions and sales through the winter but, somehow, we still ended up with a lot of stuff for the booth. Now, the job is to get out there and sort these vintage items into [...]
In one of my favorite thrift stores, I found a pub height table and 4 chairs. The table has butterfly leaves and was made of solid blonde maple — heavier than all get-out! I had been looking at new pub tables but was unhappy with the “wood-like” material they were constructed from and the fact [...]
Repurposing furniture or “Upcycling” furniture is a lot of fun. Unfortunately it is darn cold here and snowing. So, our work area is not conducive to re-dos right now. So, I have been browsing the internet coming up with inspiration for future projects. Let me just say there are a lot of very creative and talented people [...]
With more and more brides searching for ideas for non-floral or less floral centerpieces, I have seen an upswing in sales of vintage hat boxes. The idea is not new but it is almost always unique to each bride. Vintage (and not vintage) hat boxes are very versatile — there are literally hundreds of different [...]
Vintage Furniture Repurposing – DIY Projects I love to find new and different ideas for repurposing furniture that is broken, lived its useful life or just needs a pick me up. We see lots of broken down items during our treasure hunting so I keep a file full of ideas that I can go back [...]
We are busy slaving away, redoing furniture (love that it is eco friendly to boot), spiffing up furniture and generally running around trying to get our inventory ready for the booth expansion. We plan to show off some of our furniture repurposing and redos when they are finished. But, for now, take a gander at [...]

My mom is a Dachshund nut! She just loved the little wiener dogs. We almost always had one while I was growing up. The two that stick out the most in my memory were Hilda (from the time I was about 4 until I was 14) and Lucy, the 14 year old Dachshund they have [...]
In the last post, I showed you one of our displays that had quite a few Coca-Cola items on it. Here it is again: We got a call from the mall owners that we needed to move things around and make a space in the corner of our booth. Seems they are adding a [...]
Okay, the 6th installment coming up! This installment of cool vintage items features small items or “smalls”. These go pretty fast in a booth so we have to have some back-up. We try to keep our eyes open for interesting and fun smalls that we think our clients would like. It can’t be ordinary or [...]
