the joy of selling vintage.

we just sold our russian nesting dolls!  here is the message i received.  it warms my heart...

Hello,
My daughter (25) used to play with a set just like these at her Beloved grandmothers house. She passed away 4 years ago and one of her sons without permission took most of her possessions. My daughter was supposed to get them. She talks about the fond memories she has with them and her grandma often, So, I am so happy I found these to give to her for Christmas! I can't wait.

Flea Market finds

So, no pictures : (  I ALWAYS forget to take pictures.  I was hoping that would change if I said I was going to, but it didn't.  Piper found puppies, chickens, and bunnies to play with.  You should have met the bunny guy.  He was a hoot!!
I got a couple of things.  You can view them soon on etsy!!  In the meantime, check out our other new listings.
