Cherishing Yesterday's Treasures

I just love old things. I love the way they look and feel, but most of all I appreciate the quality and workmanship that went into the making of older pieces. My love started 30 years ago when I was 12 and bought my first vintage item at a flea market, a head vase that I still have. We lived in a large old house at that time, with dormers even on the inside windows and 12 foot ceilings. The house was even complete with a claw foot bathtub. I have loved vintage things ever since that time.  I started appreciating vintage and antique jewelry when I found a very interesting and unusual brooch, possibly a watch or medal fob, about 16 -17 years ago. I now live in a 107 year old house that is full of charm, complete with  an art deco light fixture that may have been here since the house added electricity. The most industrious re-purposing project I have done so far is to turn an antique piano with internal problems into my computer desk.  

I am a stay-at-home mom, and it was a logical step for me to use ebay as a venue to match yesterday's treasures with new owners when a need for extra money arose. Now I am learning about the things I have loved for so long, meeting new people through my customers and the ebay community, and having a lot of fun in the process.

I thoroughly enjoy finding vintage things and getting them into the hands of someone that will appreciate and treasure them as much (or more) than their original owner. I have a special fondness for old lamps and fixtures, and a growing love for old jewelry. But just about anything vintage catches my attention and inspires me to find it a new home.
