vintage goodness and cleaning out the basement....

oh man,

I still haven't had a chance to get my act together since the kids started school,  have you? 

I mean,  I am keeping busy mind you and working on a zillion things behind the scenes,  but I swear I cannot catch up!

  So,  my new thing is taking tons of photos of the vintage things I have had stored in my basement,  and some recent scores from my fabulous trip up north,  because I want to open an Etsy shop for my little vintage things!

  My friend Jenn,  inspired me to do this!

 So between cleaning out the basement,  and moving my studio to the shop, I have un-earthed a TON of stuff that I am ready to let go of!

  So in the next coming weeks I will be trying to set up my etsy shop,  finish my studio, start those classes, and make fall stuff for the shop.

wish me luck!

taking the photos alone has taken me several days!  yowza!

  So here's a sneak peek at a few of the fun things I will be sharing soon!

stay tuned!

XOXOXO

Catherine, I set up an etsy shop to do this, too! I initially thought everything sold through etsy had to be handmade, but when I found out vintage is okay, I got so excited. :D I cannot believe what we have in our garage.

Looks like some really fun stuff will be heading to your shop! I love the red polka dot salt and pepper shakers. How fun. Thanks for sharing the great photos.

I want the Pyrex bowl:)
The good thing about kids going back to school before Labor Day is we finally feel back to school by about now-- hang in there!
