It’s New Year’s Eve today. I hope you all have been having a splendid time with your family and friends this holiday season. Have you managed to get out and do some antiquing, thrifting, or junking? Its nearly time to take down the Christmas decorations but I have decided I am going to keep most of my vintage Christmas items (figurines, bottle brush trees, Putz houses and more) up in my curio cabinet as it gives me so much joy to look at them…..I am not ready to pack them away.

Many of my regular readers know I compile a list each New Year of what the ‘hot’ collectibles are predicted to be. Here is the 2014 list. Wishing you all a Happy, Healthy, and Prosperous 2014 with LOTS of good thrifting, junking, and antiquing!!

Many of you have been asking what I brought back from Portland when I recently visited. Right before catching that horrible flu bug I did manage to get out to two antique malls. My BEST finds came from ‘Old Glory‘ in Vancouver, WA. I didn’t really think I found that many items but the medium sized UHaul box I shipped myself proved other wise. Here are some pics of a few of these vintage goodies that I just listed in our eBay and Etsy stores. Some of these items include vintage Lefton Toodles jam jars, a vintage Rubens Valentine girl planter, an adorable pair of vintage Lefton Norcrest bluebird salt and pepper shakers, a vintage Art Deco ‘Bathing Beauty’ Flapper figurine made in Germany and many many more goodies!!
