A Few recent finds and a Mystery item

Despite being in "Lock Down" because of Covid 19, I have been able to find a few things lately,

 Mostly from friends and online sellers. These items can be found now or soon in my Etsy Shop. Click links on side bar.

Like a several of these fun hats.

And some vintage sewing supplies

Isn't this little bottle so cute

Gotta love seam binding and original packaging

And LMK if you have any clue as to what these pins with hook are used for.

I hope that the garage and estate sales open up soon, as long as it can be done safely.

My new Etsy Space, Studio Tour

I finally  have my Etsy room Set up.

First a look back...

Up to now I've had product stored in a barn, garage, under tarps, and inside in various closets.

I've had several set ups for photography. Mostly I was either hot or cold unless I set things up indoors.

 

Shipping was either done at  work or at home in my computer room.

But not any more. I'd like to introduce you to my New, All-in-one...

Etsy Room and Studio!!!!

 

With a place for goods

And for shipping supplies

And a bench for shipping, photos, and projects

Of course I've incorporated Vintage and re-purposed items wherever I can

A place to process in new finds

And lots of room for ...

I'm so very happy with this space, and am so glad to have it all in one place. It will be so much easier to keep everything clean and in good condition while it waits for it's new home. And maybe I won't have as much trouble finding something once it sells. ;)

Vintage Props make Cute Photographs for Newborn, Child and Family Photographers

My Daughter In Law, Kalynne is launching a Newborn and Child Photography Business.  She loves to raid my barn for props,  and I love to let her.  Last week she had this great idea for a Watermelon Mini Session and spotted some things in my Etsy store that she liked.  

She snagged several fun items from my barn of goods, and was able to borrow a baby from a  friend, and shot these fabulous sample pics.  In the photo above you can see the metal child's chair, picnic basket and galvanized tub that she found in my stashes.

What a great idea, I love how the photos turned out and Eva (the model) is a perfect little angel, and always happy to pose for Kalynne.  You can see more here.

I've added a "photo prop" section to my etsy store with a few things that I think would work well for all you photogs out there.  I love seeing my goods used in such a fun way.

Great Job Kalynne!!!!!
