Etsy Sale!

Hey gang, I'm gearing up for an Etsy sale. 20% off all the items and for every 10 new fans on my facebook page I'll add another 1% on. We've only gained 2 new fans so far so we still have a ways to go yet..Become a Fan to help out and save more! 22 Listings up on Etsy right now. I'm hoping to add a few more before friday. Oh I forgot to mention the sale starts Friday the 2nd of Oct through Sunday the 4th. High end stuff, you should check it out if you haven't yet. I accept paypal so its just as easy as ebay, except you don't have to compete, its first come first serve!

Treasure Hunt...

Gorgeous finds this week. Stunning sequin top dress with layers of nylon in blue and pink with a surprising neon yellow under layer! Next is a lovely plaid and floral 50's housewife atomic dress. 2 layers of sheer chiffon! Strapless velvet origami bubble dress. Amazing sheer goddess night-time set. Very glamorous.

New Listings, New Logos!

I sold my first item on Etsy this week! That was so exciting! I also made a new pic for a link to my etsy listings from ebay. Its not too fancy but I like it. Very excited for the new listings this week. Some of my fav's going up. My model finally showed after 4 weeks...LOL she was adorable though, big step out of the box for her, she only wears black so putting her in a bright blue sun dress wasn't exactly her idea of fun...LOL. She smiled through it though, she said "I'm a dancer so its good practice" the smiling that is. Here is the new listings on ebay and here are the new ones on Etsy, I've decided to make Etsy my top-shelf vintage boutique.

Treasure Hunt...

OOh I llove the "halloween" season because stores putout all their best vintage for costumes...can't beat it..hehehe. Here's what I found this week...super cute! 80s 4 inch leather pumps, 70's mary jane's. Disco dress and waht I call the "owl" top because I think the embroidery looks like owl's eyes..so cute!

And the listings go on...

I'm packed full of inventory! Dresses hanging all over the place because the closet is full! I need to sell and sell fast so I can make more room! I've started my Etsy account now, and that's fun. I get to list things for longer and its cheaper! I've got 16 listings going right now on ebay and I'm back down to my regular, 6 listings starting on tuesday. Listings end tonight, tomorrow and tuesday for sale/fall preview. I only picked up a few new items on this week's treasure hunt. But not every week can be vintage-packed. The new stuff is already up on etsy so if you're interested you can get them right now! Well thats all for now, have a wonderful weekend :)

The end of a wonderful weekend..

Well I had a great long-weekend. My husband was off all weekend (YAY) and He went with me everywhere I wanted to go. As you know I went Treasure Hunting early this week (Thursday) so that freed up my weekend a bit. On Saturday after my photo shoot my hubs and I went out with some of his friends to dinner and stayed about an hour past the restaurant closed..they had to kick us out. But I think it was the first time any of us had been out in a while. We're all growing up, getting new jobs and houses and planning families..its an interesting transition. I spent most of the day sunday doing listings, updating the facebook page and I spent a great deal of time at my mom's house messing with her computer. This is however the second week my new model didn't show for pics so I may have to find someone else. If you know of anyone who is an XS or a S let me know will ya ;) Monday was crazy day, lots of walking! Got up extra early to go the that FAB labor day sale this morning. I only take public transportation..which was on holiday schedule today so my hubs and I had to walk to the sale which is about an hour walk. Got there a few minutes after they opened and a red-headed girl was in the section I like to look for clothes in..I saw her grabbing a bunch of vintage clothes and I wasn't too pleased when she pretended like she didn't know what I was there for (cuz we were there for the same reason, inventory) but I did get a bit of satisfaction finding the amazing blue dress in the previous post hidden amongst the jackets. SCORE! She saw it in my cart too and she gave me a nasty look :P on her! She took all the other pieces. I was lucky to find what I did. Like Margaret advised me, those sales are NUTZ. Within about 10 minutes of my being there all the carts were gone. Luckily I grabbed one when I did, and when I left I made sure to give it to someone instead of just leaving it in an isle somewhere. Lets see, then after that my hubs and I walked about 6 blocks up to a restaurant and had some breakfast and waited for the first bus to take us back home. Since I got home I've been doing lots more listings, pictures and blog posts for you. 3x's the normal amount of listings this week! HERE they are for you. Hope you enjoyed your weekend too!

XXOO Bettie

Respect the vintage...or make more money..

I wondered for a long time where other sellers were finding all these mini dresses..I could hardly ever find any. Most of them were knee length (which is flattering on everyone) so I was so annoyed that there werent more mini dresses around here....then it dawned on me..why is EVERYTHING that seller is selling a mini? OMG they're doing it themselves...I'm a firm believer of "respect(ing) the vintage" I'm going to sell it as-is to you and if you want to make it into a mini...go ahead, its your dress you're the one who will be wearing it. But I also noticed that mini sell for a lot more money! So do I go by my budget or do I go by how I feel...I mean...she doesn't think that we'll believe she FOUND this drop waist pleated skirt like this...does she?

OMGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!

This week's treasure hunt was a DREAM! I could not have asked for more amazing and unique pieces! And I'm giving YOU the first look. First up is the simplest piece. M/L "Be a Square" Indie dress in red & cream.


Next is the best deal of the day a silky slip top with a low back and look at me lines...got this one for $.54..seriously!



Next is the most amazing vintage piece I've ever seen locally! Hearts indie mini dress. V bust, amazing color...hearts on the bust and sleeves...sooooo awesome! i'm in <3! onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Y7SPP3zRJiU/SqCd9MugXpI/AAAAAAAAANw/OjXedPT1kLw/s1600-h/100_1061.JPG">




And last is my fav of the finds this week. A hot pink and red striped chiffon party dress. And its NOT an XS!! I'm SOOOO excited to start these listings!
