Welcome to Deer Path Vintage
Vintage Lovers: Apply Here
Welcome to my Vintage Village page. I am a vintage seller on Etsy, which is vastly appropriate, since I live in a houseful of vintage goodies and I'm a vintage goodie myself. (My own opinion, of course. You may find others who might disagree. Just ignore them.)
My main love is ceramics, but I'm easily led to almost anything vintage. I'm a big fan of American pottery companies, specifically the Ohio and W. Virginia potteries like Homer Laughlin, Salem, Hall, Taylor Smith Taylor, W.S. George, and Harker.
I also dearly love English transferware, and have written about it on my blog: http://deerpathvintage.blogspot.com/2009/06/english-transferware.html
The picture I've used in my avatar is ftom my favorite Homer Laughlin pattern, English Garden. I'm lucky enough to have a few pieces and I treasure them as much as an art lover would treasure a Homer Winslow. (Below is my beautiful platter. My avatar is a closeup of the main image.)
My Etsy shop is here: http://deerpathvintage.etsy.com Hope to see you soon!

Now ETsy isn't free either. I pay almost as much there as I do on RL and probably more since I do blogs for RL. "

Just an FYI 2 weeks ago my cost percentage was 265% now it is 99% and it will get better as I make more sales. Have sales pending so not included in the percentage yet.

I have it laying on a white decorative pillow on my bed and it looked so pretty, so I thought to myself...thats what you will become so people can see you. Now lets hope I can do it justice! :) Thanks again, look forward to getting to know you.

The Snow Bird Brings Winter with Her!

I just posted on my Deer Path Vintage blog this morning. I've been neglecting it lately, but hope to get back into the swing of things. I'm here in the south, but hardly lounging on the beach. You'll see why!
Everything in my shop is 15% off until April 1 if you say the magic words, "Vintage Village". (Because Vintage Village is where it's… Continue

Merry Christmas and the Happiest of New Years!
Posted on December 20, 2009 at 3:31pm 0 Comments 0 Likes
Hi all, I've shuttered my shop for the holidays and will be opening up again around January 6 or 7. Will be spending Christmas with our kids and grandkids (Oh, Happy Days!!) and then heading down south for the winter. I'm going to be putting some of my items in "storage" while I'm gone, as I can't transport them all.
I'll be visiting thrift shops and flea markets down there, so I'm hoping I'll find some goodies to help "stock the shelves".
Peace, Joy and Love to… Continue

After months of neglect, I've finally spiffed up my Blogspot blog, and I've actually added a new post today.
It's about my love for silhouettes. I can't say it's an educational post because I really don't include anything about the history of silhouettes. I'm just showing examples of different… Continue

A Faded English Garden
Posted on June 8, 2009 at 1:30pm 2 Comments 0 Likes
Anybody who knows me knows how much I love transferware--particularly Homer Laughlin's English Garden pattern (which technically is decalware, not transferware). So I was thrilled last week when I won this little creamer on eBay. I was the only bidder and I wondered why, until it arrived today and I saw it up close and personal.
The transfer is badly faded, and I think I know why, but I'll get to that. I went back to the original eBay listing to see if I should have been able to tell… Continue

Couroc of Monterey
Posted on May 29, 2009 at 11:00am 12 Comments 0 Likes
Until I found this Couroc of Monterey set in a Salvation Army store last year I didn't really know anything about the company or the process. They looked vaguely familiar when I spotted them, but when these bar sets were first produced I was into Colonial, and modern didn't really show me much.
I've since learned that Couroc is getting increasingly popular for very good reason. It's beautiful! That's number one--but if you look… Continue
