Mmm, nothing really jumps out at me, but I know great finds take a little hunting.
The dogs ate my homework! Doggie cuteness over-load! My first find of the day is this 1960s vintage, bull dog family. Then I find...continue reading |
First, I wonder over to the bric-a-brack, where I always start my thrifting. There's shelves full of clear glass from candlesticks to bowls. Most of what I find is newer, department store kind-of items. Still, I am attracted to the brick-a-brac like a moth to a flame. So I look. . .

Oh, thank you Debbie for including me in this colorful Etsy treasury. 'Sunny Vintage Style' by debbietorresEnjoy! Handmadeology Part Two - Using the website trademarkia.com and TESS to date Vintage Let's continue to look at this stylish shirt and go step-by-step to identify the correct era by using free on-line resources. In the first post here, we learned about the Federal Trade Commission Website, and and now we will explore Trademarkia and TESS (Trademark Electronic Search System).
This will take me to a listing of companies that have used (registered) this name. Sometimes there are pictures to help you identify the correct entry; sometimes you just have to read the info and/or click on each listing to review the information. My search brings up board games, clothing, pocket sandwiches, popcorn, and more. Three pages total. I see a company that sells clothing, but they sell "namely Tee Shirts."

Having some major pretty going on over at Etsy. Here is a treasure of pretty things: Vintage maxi dress, Platform bed, Beautiful art, gold hoops, and did you see the glitter? 'Life is Pretty Cool' by jazzjodiSpreading the Love of Pretty things. Handmadeology What you need to know about Moth Balls to protect your vintage clothingWhat are Moth Balls? They are small balls of pesticide like Naphthalene and Dichlorobenzene to repel clothing moths from stored clothing. Naphthalene is toxic, and because of the shape of moth balls resemble candy, they should be kept away from children and animals. Use caution when handing and follow the directions on the box.
Prolonged exposure to moth balls can make your clothing smell like, well, moth balls. Try washing and airing-out stored clothing long before wearing them. Even hanging them outside over night will help the odor dissipate. A quick spritz of fabric spray will also help. Alternatives to Moth Balls If Moth Balls are not for you, try the cedar wood repellent as an alternative. And Spreading a little Etsy love with this French themed treasury. I love the mixture of soft elegance and flirty fun. Featured here you'll find vintage French teapot, 1960s Wedding dress, a Paris theater print, Stylish clutch, skincare, and much more.
