Charmed Life's Page

Welcome to our page on The Vintage Village

We're thrilled to be part of this amazing community of Vintage purveyors of spectacular bits of history ...

 

Our online shops are  Charmed Life on Ruby Lane and Charmed Life at Ruby Plaza

 

You can follow our blog on blogspot ... The Unstructured Life of an Online Seller.

 

We specialize in vintage costume jewelry and ephemera ranging from antique photographs, post cards, tobacco cards, to greeting cards (Valentines, Christmas, Easter). We try to keep a fresh inventory of exciting new finds.

 

I haven't found a sparkly piece of jewelry I can pass up ... and the collection of jewelry and antique/vintage photographs go hand-in-hand. I can always find photograph examples of women of the era sporting the styles of jewelry I have in my collection. It's like having a bit of history in my hands. Every piece has its own story.

 

Our postcard collecting began in the 1980s and continues today. One of our passions is travel, and we are building a collection of vintage and antique postcards along side postcards we pick up on our travels. It's fascinating to see what changes there are to historic sites over the years.

Kindness goes a long way. Respect goes even further.

 

I love a good auction as much as the next person. I enjoy arriving a little early and walking around the tables of offerings to see what there is to see. If I’ve done my homework, I’ve already been online to…

Wedgwood Majolica ... Who Knew ?

Posted on June 25, 2011 at 10:03pm 1 Comment

One of our Charming Daughters collects Wedgwood. She loves the Jasperware, in all colors. She has some lovely older pieces, and some newer pieces. Her library includes several volumes devoted to Wedgwood collecting. We’re always finding pieces to add to her ever-growing collection. Some we find are rare, some are newer. No matter, she’s always…

Great! Happy they arrived. I hope to be able to give more ... here and there. :) Carol

 

Ok on the blog. Thanks for the reminder Lora has to approve them, but I will read the blog 'rules' again. I am as guilty as anyone when it comes to 'skimming' while reading. Chat tomorrow, I am sure!

Hi! I am in a little slump......... Cherie won't share any of her cake with me..... lolol

 

Is it alright for me to post personal pictures to my blog, ie pic's of my daughter, grandson, stuff like that? I know I can't post pics of my handcrafted jewelry, right? they are not vintage and of course, since they are not I don't have a Premium Membership (for me personally). Anyway I don't want to make a boo boo, but I wanted to add some things not work related so folks know I am 'real' people lolol like all of you. And, of course, I want to brag. Thanks, Cake Hungry Carol

Meeting you would be so fun!  I hope you can pencil it in :=).  We are going to Calif the end of Sept. but other than showtimes I should be in the shop most of the fall.  Lunch?  :=)

Oh how great to meet you!  Yes, I live up on the plateau above Puyallup in the Lake Tapps/BonneyLake area and have a shop in Buckley!  And the Hood Canal area is lovely...a nice place to retire some day :=).

Hello and thank you for the warm welcome. I was a flowershop owner for 18 yrs but closed it 2 yrs ago for a much needed break.  My husband and I are in to anything vintage so we have a lot of it as we are getting older we see the need to clean house and I  thought this would be a great way to start.
