Shopping can sometimes make you feel guilty.
A little voice says... "You spend too much." "You're buying 'unnecessary' items' "You're buying items that take a lot of energy to produce." Let me set your mind at ease. Buying vintage is most often less expensive than retail. When you shop vintage you are adding to the "artistry" and "quality" of your life. (there's nothing unnecessary about that.) Vintage items are already produced and on the market. You're shopping GREEN! So this New Year shop vintage.....and relax. Vintage Home Shop https://www.etsy.com/shop/VintageHomeShop?ref=si_shop Vintage Home Shop carries lots of vintage pieces for your fall decorating.
Click on any of the photos to shop! I have lots of followers who are on the look out for Cathrineholm..from California to Norway.
Whenever I am fortunate enough to find a piece of Cathrineholm enamelware I will share it here. You can purchase it in my shop on Etsy...just click on the photo and it will take you there. http://goo.gl/7TKqQ English Decanter 1 http://goo.gl/VMi9k French Blue Rustic Box 2 http://goo.gl/m386M Café au lait Bowl 3 http://goo.gl/wUDyq Glass Insulator Caps 4 http://goo.gl/qW5lu Murano Glass Bowl 5 http://goo.gl/qkDeY Turquoise Books 6 I happened to notice Cathrineholm designs on Pinterest...classic mid century modern to me...with a touch of Scandinavian. The Lotus design intrigued me. During a romp through Goodwill, I love my romps by the way, I found a basket of nick nacks and inside this little collection were three spice jars. Could they be Cathrineholm? I peeked at the base and found a Made in Japan sticker. Uh? Well a quick google search on my phone revealed that, yes, Cathrineholm manufactured in Japan for the American market. Good to know. I bought the basket for a song. Took them home. Posted them on my Etsy Shop and a mere 6 hours later they were sold to a collector in Norway. That day my love affair with Cathrineholm began. Because of the sale. No. Because of the beauty and the simple design of the pieces. The more research I do, the deeper my obsession becomes. The designer responsible for this striking collection was a woman by the name of Grete Prytz Kittelsen and is she if oft times referred to as the “Queen of Scandinavian Design”. I will continue to search and research the collection. I hope to send them on to
collectors...so let me know if you are interested and I will give you first chance before I list them. Add your name and e-mail address below. Christina over at The Olive Tree Blog is running a giveaway today!

Treasuries on Etsy feature vintage and handmade items...these are ones I collected in the story of Serena. Little Serena is a baby who underwent open heart surgery at 8 days old. All of the blood was drained from her body, her core temperature was taken to hypothermia, her heart was repaired and then her heart was restarted. She is only a couple months old now, but she is the bravest "little woman" I have ever know. I muse over her life as an adult...because I know she will live and thrive.
