Ok, so you have just sold your large Vintage Fenton Comport and you are bitter-sweet happy!! As you congratulate yourself on a great seller's campaign social media quest, you go to wrap it up--and you quickly realize you forgot to add shipping and handling supplies!! Darn, and THEN you realize your wholesale…

I am home, back from my daughter's bridal shower....whoooo, did she get some pretty lingerie.....she was so red!!! The drive across the Arizona Divide was a nice comfortable trip and my shotgun rider, Chewey, my male toy poodle, loved every minute alone with his mommy.
Well, I guess I have to reveal what I wrapped up for her!!! and it might be what you think.....
instead of buying her something from a store, I decided to give to her Vintage items!!!!
YES, I did. My…

Regarding my passion: Fenton Slippers or Shoes, art glass.
Twice this week, I have come across sellers who are listing generic glass shoes or slippers and labeling them Fenton. RARE FINDs. if you can imagine...my blood is boiling.
NOTE: There are generally two patterns currently where I have detected fakes where sellers are labeling these shoes as Fenton: one looks smaller with a bow on the front (see my picture of a current listing where I am selling a generic shoe) and…

My mother had lived in Duncan, Oklahoma for many many years. With tornado country, you never know when a tornado can touch down, particularly if you live in the Tornado Alley. Somewhat oblivious to the sirens, local folks figure the odds of a touchdown and then the odds of an F4 or F5 are low. Unsure as to why this thought process pervades the common man, but it does. For many years, it was always a hit and miss around Duncan. I was so happy when mom chose to sell out and move back to…

Well, if there are just two messages I blog today I might save someone a whole lotta grief:
First message: BE CAREFUL when working on your documents at night when you are tired (or any time)
Second message: double check your recycle bin before deleting.....mass amounts (or anything)
You don't want to figure out your entire inventory list has been deleted.
Just sayin. Now, I can't blog anymore because I have some work to do. You can only imagine what that…

Can you believe it is Mother's Day weekend? How does that happen so fast? With Christmas just sitting somewhere in my brain..the memories still lingering, and now it's Mother's Day weekend?
A June wedding for my daughter could have something to do with it. Adding a son to my list of children is just a celebration all by itself...as I plan and strategize gifts, dresses and hair styles...

Did anyone out there know that Emmons Jewelry was created in 1949 by Charles Stuart? The same guy who created Sarah Coventry? Charles Stuart created Sarah Coventry after his daughter, and later created Emmons Jewelry Co. in honor of his wife, Caroline Emmons Stuart.
Apparently, Emmons Jewelry was also sold in the home party sales division, as was Sarah Coventry. The pieces were priced slightly higher than S. Coventry. The marks started in 1955 and the doors finally closed in 1981.…

CarriersCozyCottage said… Hi Brenda, it does take some time to get used to Tophatter, so don't beat yourself up.
I have used them for a few months now and I am still learning.
I don't have a blog on anything, but I will answer any questions you have if I can.
Mona :)

PenniLea's Vintage Places said… Hi Brenda,
I wish you the best and send prayers for your new venue to be a success. I was considering RL myself but I will wait for another special. Please let me know how it goes, I had a Ruby Plaza shop and loved how it all worked. I think I will join in on TH as opposed to that other auction venue, just using it as a way to turn inventory and hopefully get my shop's name out there (shop on eCrater). My goal is to move my vintage items to one of the more well-known venues eventually.
Have fun and please let me know if you like it there.
:) Penni

PenniLea's Vintage Places said… Thank you for the friendship, it is always nice to receive a friend request. Your store looks great!

Eau Pleine Vintage said… Nice to hear an update from you! I have been lax here on tvv the last few days as I am getting ready for a big trip--Amtrak Tour to the Grand Canyon! Sales have been decent--for me! Hope your shops are doing well! Christmas usually brings more buyers and more sales. At least the chance for more sales!

Eau Pleine Vintage said… LOL! You go girl!! :)
Eau Pleine Vintage said… Hi Brenda! My brother used Ancestry.com for quite awhile and then stopped when they wanted to charge him $$$. He found another site and has found that calling, emailing, etc. to the town we had relatives helped. So good luck with your searching! And don't forget to 'comment' and post pictures! :)

Out Of The Attic 2u said… Just to let you know your url to your ebay store is not working.
I think this is the correct one as I took it from ebay.
