Sale, Sale, Sale!
My Mom and I have been toying with the idea of opening up a vintage pop-up shop in our city this spring - the perfect location presented itself to us, so it seems serendipitous. For this reason, we've put off having a sale in the Etsy shop (and have been slow to add more listings). It felt a little silly, though, to stockpile wares because the mission is ultimately to make sales.
We finally decided that, in the spirit of Valentine's Day and looooove, we would put some items on sale, because the motto of our shop is: "everything we hope you love". It's a stretch, I know. (Some of these sale items won't be re-listed when they expire Feb 17th, just FYI). Below you'll find photos and links to all of the items that have been reduced. On top of discounting some items, we're offering a sale code for friends and readers. Use: WINTER15 to get 15% off your entire purchase - including sale items! The sale will run until February 14th. Also, please feel free to contact me through Etsy for a customized shipping quote - I'm normally able to save folks a few more bucks! Also, I accept turquoise Pyrex as currency ;)
FIRST ROW:
Fondue Pot with Alcohol Burner and 12 Bonus Skewers ($5.00 off)
Set of 8 Culver Medallion Glasses, Mint Condition ($10 off)
Vintage Coret Handbag ($7.00)
Set of 10 Yellow Blown Glass Drinking Glasses ($5 off)
SECOND ROW:
Solid Brass and Wood MCM Tray ($10 off)
Set of 4 Glass Fish Plates and Solid Wood Bowls ($10 off)
Canape Making Widget ($3 off)
1970s Signed Pottery Piece ($4 off)
THIRD ROW:
Tundra Earthenware Set, Made in Canada ($10 off)
McCoy Plates ($10 off)
West German Vase ($3 off)
Pair of 1960s Belgian Planters ($3 off)
FOURTH ROW:
German-made Black and White Cake Stand ($5 off)
Vintage Japanese Lacquerware Serving Set, New in Box ($5 off)
Figgjo Norway Lotte Souffle Dishes ($15 off)
Figgjo Norway Lotte Platter ($13 off)
Some of my favorite items have recently gone out the door (and with each one, that internal debate: "Oooo, I liked that," "yeah, but you don't have room," "but maybe I should have kept it anyway?"), but there are still plenty of gems left. If you're feeling very meh about our current offerings, we decided to stop the madness and focus on Etsy first, pop-up shop second. With that in mind, we'll be listing brand new items mid-late February, including some very springy pieces. Expect some cheery colours to lift the winter blahs.
Before I toddle off (we're doing some very exciting bath reno recon - which is something that will be filling our calendars for months to come, I'm sure), I wanted to say "thanks". I never expect a purchase from any of my readers! I'm just so thankful you encouraged me to open a shop in the first place, and that you've all been so supportive and encouraging since. So thank you!

DIY Personalized Small Camera Strap
I mentioned in this post that I'm fairly enamored with my new little camera. It needed a strap so I decided to play around with some of the materials I had around. It's the kind of project you can bang out in about an hour so it would make a fun valentines gift as well.
You'll need: a scrap piece of leather at whatever length and width you would like for your camera, 2 rivets
, a short length of cord (or if your camera has d rings, you can't attach the strap directly and skip the cord). You'll also need to have a hammer, a metal straight edge, a rotary cutter
and letter stamping set.
Cut your leather to the desired size and sheer off a little triangle at each corner. I did this all by eye since precision isn't that important but feel free to measure.
Dampen your leather with a little water and stamp whatever phrase or word you want to mark the strap with. The water will help make the leather pick up the impression more cleanly. I picked "click." but for valentines day I think "we just click" would be kinda perfect. (I don't have one but this leather stamping set
would be have been better than the one I used since it has a thicker letter outline. It's going on my wishlist.)
Fold over a small portion of each end and attach your rivet.
Thread the cord through the looped end of each end of the strap and attach to the camera using a knot.
Voila! A quick and easy way to personalize a simple camera strap for a small camera like mine.

Inspired By Nature
I used to have a series on the blog called Virtual Shopping, where I would share a few items that have caught my eye lately. Consider this the reincarnation of that series, coming back to life as a new and improved version of itself. Periodically I’ll share a handful of items that I find inspiring or […]
