The shop has been busy and so have I. I’ve found so much fun vintage Christmas jewelry and folks love it. It is so much more charming then the new stuff. My favorite piece is a graceful reindeer pin leaping into the air complete with red rhinestone nose!
Julie and I took a field trip to Dover yesterday and trolled every shop and source we knew. I found a few lovely 50’s dresses in larger sizes, chiffon scarves, vintage jewelry, gloves of all colors, and a treasure trove of men’s items such as hats, fabulous old ties, robes, and 2-tone shoes.
We always come home exhausted, stopping for coffee along the way. I am busy pricing the new stuff this afternoon and a dress and some jewelry are gone already.
Had a nice customer today who was shopping for her little girls. They are each getting vanities for Christmas and she picked out vanity hand mirrors for them and some empty perfume bottles. Start them on this stuff early, I say! These lovely items are better then the cheap ugly toy vanity items available.
The Slaugh family Christmas is at our house this Sunday and I am looking forward to seeing everyone. Shannon is coming to clean tomorrow, we spent hours wrapping gifts yesterday. All I have to do is make some cookies, finish up the laundry, pop Ziggy into his new reindeer suit (he loves it), get some food(that’s why God made Cosco’s) and we are ready!
The Hall side of the family gathers at my brother Jerry’s Christmas day. I think I’ve got it all together but I’m sure I’ve forgot something!!!
