Monday Shout Outs

This morning I've spent lots of time networking via Etsy!!! I'm just trying to get our name out there for our shop, VBVintage, and adding people & shops to our "circle".  Etsy Circles allow us to see what items other Etsy Shop Owners & Etsy Customers are listing & favoring...and adding to TREASURY lists! And there's so many fun and funky shops and interesting items to choose from!!

I've been falling in love over & over again with tons of amazing hand crafted and vintage goodies online...here is a tiny pinch of the favs that I adore!

A Little Bit of This and That

Today's writing...not ALL about vintage!

 

A lot has been going on this week in and out of VBVintage. First off we're saying goodbye to a couple of great vintage pieces from the shop this week. This always makes us a bit sad, just because we love everything we are selling!!  First to go was an H Bar C Western Shirt. We shipped this awesome cowboy shirt off to Oakland, California the other day...

 

 

Last night one of my favs sold to a sweet gal from Baltimore, Maryland.  This is a Herman Geist Full Circle Skirt with Pockets.  I'm sure the new owner will love it as much as I do...

 

 

 

We've been shopping for vintage inventory and picked up some amazing items. Yesterday we found a great pair of vintage Lite Brite Lamps from the 1970's-1980's (we think!). When they are lit up they look like Lite Brites from our childhood.  They are so sweet & adorable! We know they'll look great in a vintage gal's kitschy bedroom! They just need to get dusted off and soon they will get listed! There's only one photographed below...but there's going to be a matching pair listed in our shop!

 

We also found a couple of amazing vintage dresses. One my sister instantly fell in love with! It's a '70's style Hawaiian dress in gorgeous greens with a lovely strappy back.  And the other dress...I fell in love with! It's navy blue with white polk-a-dots and matching jacket. Very Brady Bunch vibe to this one...I tried it on and felt like Jan Brady right away!  Im pretty sure our mother owned the same one when we were young! ❤ I'm pretty sure I bought it because of sentimental reasons, but I'm sure some hip vintage loving chick will love it too! Sorry but there's no photos of these yet!

Outside of our Etsy shop I've been busy too! Lots of work- this afternoon/tonight is shift #8 in a row I'm a waitress at a sprawling (as in a lot of walking...and up and down stairs) old restaurant in Virginia Beach, so it gets a little tiring after a week straight. I've also started my taxes- personal & business, I'm getting all of my paperwork in order & organized! (Ahhhhh, a sigh of relief!) Today is file shredding day...a great feeling to purge all the old useless receipts & bills! Yesterday was baking day as well. I made chocolate chip banana bread (Click on that link for the recipe!) for a friend and muffins for us at home! So good, and I don't even like bananas that much! I have tried about 7 or 8 different recipes in the past months...and I finally found one on Pinterest that I LOVE! I just add some chocolate chips!

 

 

 

 

My boyfriend & I are leaving for England in less than 2 weeks! I'm so excited for this trip.  We are flying into London which I've never done before.  I'm really hoping it won't be too foggy when we are flying in...I want to get some good pics of the city from the plane.  In addition to our time in London we will be going to his cousin's wedding in York. Any of his family events are always a blast!  We will be spending time in Leeds, his hometown and where a lot of his family still lives.  Below is the  Leeds City Markets...one of his favorite places to visit in UK.

 

 

 

 

The BF is VERY ORGANIZED and is pressuring me to pack already!!! He must think I'm a bit of a procrastinator (I can't deny it sometimes!). Mentally, I'm ready for our trip & know what I will pack, but it's way TOOoooooooo early for me to think about actually getting everything together right now.

 

Ok...I'm off to get that paperwork shredded and then off to work for the evening!  Thank you for checking out the blog and have a great day!
