I am afraid I have been really bad and today is the day I need to make amends. My poor Etsy store is beginning to look like an old Cold War Russian market. There are plenty of empty shelves with only a thing or two offered for sale. I have found a few items I want to share and will be listing them today. One of my favorites is the sheet of hidden calling cards I blogged about recently. I find them really charming but I know there is someone out there who could appreciate them more.
I am going to sell the entire sheet rather than breaking them up. That way some clever ephemera person can do what they want after they get them.
I am also listing this little English biscuit tin. My collection will no longer fit on a very large shelf and some purging must occur.
I have several motto plaques that I dearly love but this one doesn't quite fit into the theme I collect. It really looks like it is from the time of the Craftsman movement. The colors and the sty lings are really authentic to that aesthetic. It is in very good condition and is not faded at all.
This little pink Pyrex casserole is going in the store as well. I admit I waffled quite a bit about keeping it. After all it is pink and has the most darling gooseberry pattern. I love pink and I love gooseberries but I guess I have to come to the realization that I cannot keep everything. Last but certainly not least is this really charming necklace and earring set.
It is also pink and would look really sweet on someone who enjoys wearing Retro jewelry. I would wear it but I think my neck is too fat. I will be listing today so if any of these items strike your fancy be sure to check out my Etsy store.
I was never conscious of neck size until I put on a necklace today that happened to have a rather short chain. Now I can't stop thinking about my fat neck.
