Welcome! I have been selling on ebay for several years now...vintage clothing, textiles, interesting antique home goods and original artwork and jewelry. I am currently touring the country with my boyfriend Billy in an Airstream travel trailer. We plan to roll through just about every town on the map over the next three years. Over the past three months we have worked our way up the coast from Georgia to Massachusetts which is where we are now. The stuff I am selling currently was found mostly in South Carolina, Virginia and in New England. I will be selling some handmade items, vintage and artwork as we travel. My items will be what I deem to be special enough to make room for in our 25 foot trailer...room is obviously scarce. Please check back often to see what I have added on for auction and visit our travel blog at www.silverstreamer.blogspot.com






Shipping I ship everything in the states via USPS Priority mail which usually takes 2 to 5 days for delivery. I ship with delivery confirmation so I know that you received your package! Insurance is optional at $1.30 for anything under $50 (unless it is artwork in which case I require insurance on all purchases.) For $50.01 to $100 and up it is $2.20. I ask that for any purchases over a $100 the buyer pays for insurance no matter what! It is $3.20 and so worth it to protect your investment! (Insurance is required on all artwork shipments)I will generally try to ship out your package on the next business day after you have paid. I do not ship on Saturday. You may combine shipping for 7 days from your first win.
I cannot be responsible for lost or damaged packages that have not been insured by the buyer! Please pay the few extra dollars for insurance if this is of concern to you!
Payment is due within 5 days from your first purchase. Combined shipping charges: Domestic USA Highest shipping + $2.00 for each additional purchase. International Highest shipping cost + $7.25 for each additional Purchase. Canada Regular shipping + $3.50 for each additional purchase.

Measurements I measure everything laying flat and double the measurements where applicable. For instance if the bust on a shirt measures 19 inches across (measured from pit to pit) I double that to a 38 inch bust. For sleeve length I measure from the shoulder seam to the cuff seam. For overall length I measure from the collar seam to the bottom of the garment. Vintage clothing sizes are VERY DIFFERENT than modern clothing sizesit is SOOO important that you pay attention and know your sizing. I highly recommend leaving an inch or two leeway for comfort on every garment. Your bust size (as in bra size) is not the same as what you bust will be in a top. I recommend measuring a garment or two you have that fit you well for a comparison in vintage shopping.

Garment Condition I try to find only garments that have a lot of wear left in them! I will not list something that is too far gone to be any fun anymore! You must be aware that most of these clothes have been worn and are anywhere from 20 to 60 years old! It is rare to find an item that is in Mint condition. I do my best to explain any and all flaws that an item has in detail and show photos of the flaw when I can. Wearing vintage clothing isn for everyone. If you have standards that do not allow for a few minor flawshen I would not recommend shopping vintage online! As I said before though do not sell items that have flaws that compromise the garment to an extent that it cannot still be worn and look FANTASTIC!!!

Not everything that I offer for sale is vintage! I will occasionally offer a modern and gently worn garment as well. These will not be listed in the vintage category and will be clearly marked as a modern clothing item.

Laundering etc I wish I had the time and extra coin to launder and or dry clean every item that I offer for saleut that just isn gonna happen!! I do gently hand wash or spot clean many items that I am quite sure will not be damaged by the process and will perhaps give them a quick pressing with the iron. If I have done so it will be stated in the auction description. I will leave the rest up to the buyer! I do not sell items that are so musty and funky that they cannot be freshened up to a totally wearable condition. The nice thing about vintage from the Southwest is that you very rarely if ever run into musty basement smells here...it's too dry for any of that funk to even have a shot at survival!

Returns As a general rule returns will not be accepted on clothing. If you are unhappy with your purchase please contact me and I will work with you to make the situation right. I WILL NOT accept returns based on the following reasons The item does not fit you or for a flaw that was clearly stated in the auction descriptionI check these items over carefully and spend a great amount of time in measuring them! If you find a flaw that I missed let me know and we can work together to resolve the problem. If an item is to be returned under these circumstances it must be shipped back to me within 5 business days of the buyer receiving it and must be in the original condition it was sent out in.
Returns on artwork will be dealt with on an individual basis. Please remember that although I do my best to photograph the works in the best possible light your computer monitor settings may not be set to properly represent the colors of the artwork as seen by the naked eye. If you have any questions that have not been addressed here please contact me! Thanks and happy shopping!
