Part 2- vintage satin ornaments, cardboard village, red plaid, angels & so much more!






I just love Christmas...and all of the vintage decor that goes with the season. I especially love the satin ornaments in all the many colors, the reds and the greens, and the white angels. And I can't seem to make enough candy canes out of mercury glass garland beads! I hope you get a chance to stop by the Fremont store to check out all of the many goodies...and I will get pics from Sellwood, just as soon as the snow and wonderful winter snow calms down a bit! Feel free to email me if you see something that you can't live without...I can always send it to you!!! 10 shopping days until Christmas!

Christmas in the store part 1 vintage doll parts, shoes, child's tea set





I couldn't resist the vintage doll parts, doll and baby shoes, and child's tea set at the estate sale...just couldn't resist. The only question is...which estate sale??? Since moving, I have found so many items that have been stashed away for my "store"...that I would someday have...and now that I have not just one store, but two...it is like Christmas every time I open a box!!! So... this is just the first of two postings of some of the new (well, vintage) items that are in the Fremont store!
I have also found vintage trim, ephemera, game pieces... and so much more!!! happy holidays!

A quiet blog... loss and still hope...



My blog has been sadly quiet for weeks. Well, this is a time of great sadness for me. Our loss...we have lost our two beloved cats this month. One, is missing in action- the other, lost to cancer just yesterday.
So, in honor of my cats, just a couple of simple pictures of remembrance. May there be lots of catnip in cat heaven for Ruby, and may Barney the tabby be warm and comfy where ever he may be! (and we would love it if he would find his way home!)
More news of the stores later...or tomorrow.
Blessings to all,
melanie
