VINTAGE BEAUTY TO GRACE YOUR LIFE...
|
Hello, and thank you for viewing my auctions and Ebay Store, as well as wanting to learn a bit about how I began searching out vintage finds to sell here on Ebay. Ever since I was old enough to realize there was beauty in our past, I began searching in an effort to incorporate it in my own cottage garden/antique/vintage decorating scheme. At 19, I started yard/Estate sale shopping and found that I was missing out on the most wonderful way of collecting the "old" things I loved! After that, it wasn't possible to stop and, as you can see, I didn't. I have managed to decorate 5 homes with almost entirely yard sale/Estate Sale/Auction finds and I have been told that I should be a professional decorator by many people. What fun would that be though, since some people don't enjoy the same things I do? I don't think it would work out for me, but I certainly appreciate the compliments! After many years of "collecting", my husband, and believe me he had been VERY, VERY patient till then, declared that if I wanted to bring more "in", something had to go "out". Made sense to me, so I opened up my own antique booth in a local shop and then in another when we moved. When my back problems became too much for all that hauling about, I found Ebay and have been here every since. I think it's been close to 11 years since I began moving things "out" and about 9 or 10 since I began selling here. I adore it and have never looked back!
My "passions" include: VINTAGE LINGERIE, VINTAGE POTTERY, ANTIQUE PRINTS, LADIES CELLULOID PINS, VINTAGE HOLIDAY PLASTICS (CANDY CONTAINERS & THE LIKE) LINENS, JEWELRY AND ALL VINTAGE/ANTIQUE HOLIDAY ITEMS INCLUDING GREETING CARDS, WRAPPING PAPER, SPUN COTTON, MERCURY GLASS, PACKAGE TRIMS, My OWN HANDCRAFTED ART/HOLIDAY/JEWELRY PIECES, ETC.ETC.. I know there are more, but that's a start anyway!!
After selling antiques and vintage items for most of my adult life, I began collecting vintage Christmas, Halloween and Easter decorations and trims, that soon filled boxes, bins, closets & display cabinets, throughout my home. I knew that one day I would find the perfect way of preserving not only these gorgeous gems, but also the old, and often forgotten, craft pieces and doo-dads that came along with them. With that thought in mind, I have decided to finally begin my own Artistic line of Vintage Items, made with ALL VINTAGE MATERIALS(with the exception of some very small additions such as wreath forms or support pieces), in the same, painstaking way they were created "way back when"...without mass production, assembly lines and all that "new fangled" gadgetry. I knew it would take more time, more energy and more patience, but it was the only way to create "HEIRLOOMS REBORN". This new endeavor will hopefully bring you many of those wonderful, antique/vintage, hand-crafted items, decorations and memories that you remember from Holidays and Special Occasions, long past. Now, you can bring these back into your homes and your celebrations, knowing that they are indeed, ALL vintage, although newly crafted by someone who loves them as much as you do. This portion of "pasts_presents" is my specialty line called "HEIRLOOMS REBORN". I hope you will find enjoyment in their creation and will purchase a piece, now and then, to add to your vintage collection! (While I will still be bringing you original vintage holiday pieces, I will also be listing these newly created, yet all vintage pieces as well.) In addition to these HANDCRAFTED, ARTIST SIGNED & DATED PIECES, I will be bringing you HANDMADE JEWELRY PIECES that will often incorporate VINTAGE JEWELRY FINDINGS. Another of my loves has been jewelry and what better way to vent my creativity than to make my own!? So, I am very excited to not only be bringing you some of my Art Pieces & Jewelry but also, my own WEBPAGE(store)! I will be having a GRAND-OPENING in just a few weeks, probably mid October, and you are all invited to peruse my newest creations as well as my collection of Vintage Lingerie, Clothing, Cottage Chic Decorative items and more, that will be offered! The site is http://www.thepastspresents.com. Thank you, in advance, for your support of this new facet of the "pasts_presents"!!
Please keep me in your favorites and look for my monthly/bi-monthly "round-up" here, for a partial list of some of the fun finds I will be bringing you in upcoming weeks. Thank you for being the best buyers on Ebay!! Oh, and if there is ever something you are looking for, please drop me a note and if I don't already have it, I will be on the lookout for the item in my travels!

****************SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER ROUND-UP*********************
It is almost October and with my move to Kentucky, I find I am actually missing the beginning of Fall and it's crisp, cool days and even cooler nights....frost on the pumpkin and all that stuff! I'm sure it will come here too, but probably not until Thanksgiving and by then, well, I will be even more "homesick". That's alright though, since I just love it here and eventually, it will be "home".
This time of year makes me think of LINENS and TABLECLOTHS as I prepare to spend the cooler months indoors...so, I will be bringing you some breathtaking VINTAGE LINENS as we enter the Holiday months. Of course, there are lots of wonderful VINTAGE DECORATIVE PIECES for all of that "Fall cleaning" and sprucing up. I have several Gorgeous VINTAGE COBALT BLUE GLASS items, along with Lavender, Pale, or "French Blue" and Navy blue POTTERY & GLASS. Among the items I will be listing in the days and weeks ahead, you will find some wonderful, never before listed VINTAGE LINGERIE & SLIPS, HANDBAGS, VERY OLD MARBLES, DELFT ITEMS, LOVELY PIN DISHES, DOILIES, NAPKINS, APRONS AND TONS OF FABULOUS LINENS, ICE BUCKETS, A LARGE GROUP OF BLUE/LAVENDER GLASS & POTTERY and MORE! Of course, my own HANDMADE VINTAGE CRAFTED PIECES AND VINTAGE+NEW JEWELRY CREATIONS will be filling the shelves as well...you won't want to miss a single item!! And best of all, almost every piece is an Antique or Vintage one! So please, Join me in my "travels" and peruse my offerings....you are sure to enjoy looking and just might find something that you HAVE to have! Thanks for shopping with me again...I don't think you will be disappointed...I have boxes brimming with such great things, all purchased or made, with just you in mind. :)~ And please, REMEMBER TO CHECK MY NEW WEBSITE at http://www.thepastspresents.com....WHERE I WILL BE BRINGING MANY OF MY HANDMADE ARTISTIC ENDEAVORS, ALONG WITH ANTIQUE & VINTAGE FINDS, FOR YOUR SHOPPING ENJOYMENT!!!
