Out on the hunt

I've spent a few days out on the hunt this week and came away with some interesting stuff. I went to an auction on Tuesday but didn't come away with too much. There always seems to be someone with the same taste and an unlimited amount of money. I got a few vintage toys and texiles, but am most excited about the kitchen island/table I found for myself for only $15! Yesterday I scored a funky vintage men's denim and leather suit that I'll be listing shortly along with a sweet boho flower child wedding dress -- I like to imagine that they went together.

On the clothing front, today I found a J.Jill cashmere blend jacket, an Escada sweater, an April Cornell dress and a couple of cute purses and pairs of shoes. Later today I'll be listing some vintage textiles including a gorgeous tapestry bed cover and a chenille bathroom rug.

Vintage clothing on its way!

I keep buying vintage clothing -- mostly from the 60s-70s -- with the plan to do weekly MySpace/eBay auctions aimed at all the hip indie-minded young things out there. I finally got the myspace page up under the name Circular Vintage. I hope to get auctions going -- maybe a dozen every weekend -- starting this week.

Sadly I only have 2 friends (and one comes with the page). Here is my pathetic request (this is so much like junior high) if you're on MySpace please add me as a friend -- we'll be BFF:) And don't forget to check out the vintage togs. MySpace Friends will receive $1 off shipping for the first item won through any of my auctions as well as the $1 off additional items that is my standard shipping discount.

Great sales this morning

I actually got out the door early this morning. There was an estate sale right in town at 8 a.m. -- and I got there by 8:30 and walked out with 3 big boxes. Some wonderful leather and cloth gloves, jewelry, fabric and patterns and Christmas stuff. There was a large church sale -- advertised as more than an acre of merchandise and there certainly was. It was a bit overwhelming and I actually wish I had gotten to that one first. I found the most wonderful set of glasses -- see right. A lot of cute vintage planters a set of barkcloth drapes - 6 panels. A bunch of nice purses and some cool lace-up zodiac boots. My eBay area is full to bursting. My goal for this week is 8 listings a day -- 16 on Sunday and Monday.

Busy Shipping Day

It sure feels like a Monday -- I have a lot of shipping to do! The 99 cent sale was moderately successful -- I sold about 30 items, about half of them at 99 cents so buyers will be happy and I cleared out some things. A lot of combined items though so at least shipping will be less trouble. I have 20 packages with about 36 items to power through this morning -- thank you multiple bidders. A lot to do today -- and I've already wasted most of the morning on this dumb machine -- so off to work.
