Another really cool find this week. This time at an auction. A lot of Sheridan Silver Co. hollow ware was up for sale. It included a footed waiter’s tray, a tea pot, sugar bowl with lid and a tall creamer. We got it for a good price. It was very tarnished so today I drug [...]
Yup, Spring is coming! The retail world is already hauling out the garden center products along with grills and patio furniture. Swimsuits will be making an appearance soon too! At the Vintage With A Twist booth, we are packing up all holiday touches in favor of Spring colors and anything that will support the Spring [...]
This is a short installment of cool vintage items we have in the booth right now. As I said in a previous post, inventory is down at this time of year but it’s still worth a look at some cool vintage items! The first item is actually two. The vintage gas stove is really nice. [...]
Teapots have been around since the 16th century, thanks to the Chinese. The English ritual of “high tea” or a Japanese or Chinese “tea ceremony” may not be something you indulge in but anyone can enjoy a good cup of tea (or cuppa). Collecting teapots and/or novelty pitchers is not a new hobby but one [...]
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 [...]
It’s going slower than I would have liked. We have had several problems crop up that have limited our time available to work on re-doing the booth this January. Some good — some bad — such is life. We got a call from the owner of Riley Emporium the other day. She said the booth [...]
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 [...]
Another ephemera find I came across this past weekend was a great copy of an old PhotoPlay Magazine. It was published in March of 1954 with Debbie Reynolds gracing the cover. The spine printing has all but worn off but the articles are in good shape. I just finished reading one of the articles titled [...]
The other day, a few of us attended a local festival. Our favorite part about the festival is all the garage and yard sales that pop up to take advantage of the infuse of traffic. We hit every one of them that we saw. A great way to spend an afternoon. Mom found some depression [...]
Have you heard of “ephemera”? It was a new word to me a few years ago. I understood the concept but didn’t realize it had a name. So, what is ephemera? Ephemera Defined Ephemera is items that were printed or written — paper items. These items were not intended for long term use. They [...]

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 [...]
