I sold for many years on eBay. With all the changes to fee structures and costs, it has become less and less profitable. I was listing wonderful vintage costume jewelry with low starting prices, and often not selling them or selling them for opening bids. It just wasn't working for me.

I opened a Ruby Lane shop in 2009 and put my higher end costume jewelry there, along with any high end small items that I had. The first year…

Hi All!  Welcome to my blog on Vintage Village.  I am excited to be here and to have a venue to share my passion and love of vintage and antique jewelry.

I am an addict when it comes to garage sales, estate sales and especially auctions!!!  I love the hunt.  I have been very fortunate to find some very good sales.  In the past I have sold on Ebay, selling everything from old toys, vintage quilts and all types of collectible glassware and more.  During my hunts, I discovered…

Hello my friends!  Just a quick note to let you know that I am a Marilyn & Elvis FREAK, so don't be surprised when you see pictures of one or the other from time-to-time.

I collect anything I can on both of them.

Toodle-oo,

Cheryl

In case you didn't know, I love hats. I am looking for a really cool Fedora. One I can wear everyday with my look like vintage jeans, and at an affordable price. Like $50 or less. Am I dreaming? I prefer brown (neutral color) and not wool. It is hot hot here where I live, SW Georgia, so would like something not so 'heavy'. There are a few options on RL that I like (they seem to sell fast) but I thought I would expand my search and see what else is 'out' there. It doesn't have to be a…
