Treasuries and Other Things

Hi! It's been a few days since I've posted anything. Life gets busy sometimes, huh?

First, I would like to say I got a fun job at an antique/vintage/resale shop. It's tough but fun, and I'm really happy to have it. I need to learn how to negotiate on buying and selling though!

I hope to be moving into a new great apartment starting Saturday! I am very excited, time to pack! I'm also scared though... I haven't studied for my LSAT in ages, and it's in June! I want to do well and haven't worked towards it in a long time. I think once I'm moved in, I need to spend my free time not just on etsy, but on studying.

I have found some GREAT new things to list on etsy. I am VERY EXCITED, I just love loving what I sell!!

Ok! Some treasuries I've been in lately!











Aren't they all so wonderful? I've been so busy, I feel bad I haven't posted them before now! I want to click, comment, tweet and blog them all when they happen! Etsy really is a full time job =]

Treasury by Modred12

Lovely treasury I was featured in. I like that the pastels aren't too soft, and really have a spring like feel to them.

Easter Treasury

I was put in a lovely treasury, it's just my style. All lovely pastels!



I was also put in another treasury the other day

Spring Sale Staring Today!

I have some items on sale, starting today! Great deals, check them out.

First up for sale is an aqua pyrex mixing bowl. On sale for $10

Here we have a lovely pale pink vintage plastic sewing box, hinged lid, rope handles, and a plastic tray that fits inside. It is now $25

Three milk glass hobnail bowls, lovely and in great condition. Great to use for all sorts of things. $21

I love this set, creamer and sugar of an aqua blue milk glass, deep pressed glass. It's very heavy and very gorgeous. I'm actually surprised it's still around. I lowered the price to $65

Four pink ruffle/crinoline Hazel Atlas dinner plates. Oh these are so girly and pretty! They would look great for an Easter dinner, or on display for whatever reason. You can buy the set of four for $40.

Click the pictures to go to the etsy page! Thanks for looking everyone.

Can you believe, right this very moment, it is SNOWING outside. That's right, I have a spring sale going on, and it's snowing. In order to cheer myself, I've started decorating for Easter/spring. I'm doing a combination of new, vintage, and handmade for my decorations. I'm pretty low on Easter things, guess I have to go shopping!

Blue Moderntone Platonite Cup & Saucer

I found two cups and saucers in perfect condition! Not just cups or just saucers as I have found previously (pink saucers and blue cups, can you believe it?). I was so excited to find these, the colors are so vibrant and new looking, there aren't any chips or cracks, I just love them!

Gorgeous blue, right? Great for Easter, like everything else I post. I guess that's what I'm obsessed with at the moment, spring/Easter looking things, aka pastels!

I am selling both sets on etsy

Pink Milk Glass Candy Dish

I just love the pink milk glass of jeannette. It's so pale and delicate, the soft creamy pink can go with so many different things. With Easter coming up, I just squeal with the potential of everything I see in pastels.

I got this wonderful dish from the same place as the cake stand I sold last week. It has a tiny form of hobnail all over the surface, except for the flattened smooth corners. It originally came with a lid, but I'm sure that is long since broken. It also has a nice and simple leaf and acorn design on it, which I find to not be slapping me in the face, but rather adding a nice overall look to the dish.

Friday Finds

I went to a couple of antique and consignment shops with my Mom today. We went in towns we aren't ever in to see what they had to offer. Though they had some antique shops, they weren't very good. I had to look hard to find one good thing from two different places. But, I am very happy with what I did find, so maybe it was all worth it. Both of these items are now up for grabs on my etsy shop! How exciting.

First up is a vintage pink sewing box!

It comes with a tray that fits on the inside at the top. It's all in really good condition and is a great pale pink color. You can use it to store all sorts of things, and it has two rope handles.

Next, I found this gorgoues tin! It has wonderful pale colors, teal, pink, and a light gold. It's a great size and in good condition. The lid comes off and on easily, and I just love the polka dots on the tin. I have a hard time giving this one up, but I'm still selling it here.

Flamingo Pink

That is the name of the vibrant color of this pyrex pie plate that was also one of my mother's that she is asking me to sell.

It is in very good condition, I took a close look and I'm pretty sure there is no paint fading or chips. I don't think this pie plate will sell as quickly as the pink striped pyrex bowls, but I think this is a great find for anyone who wants to add to their pyrex collection.

I also got these adorable pastel flower cups at target today, I filled them with pastel candy and it looks great and Easter-y. I put them on the pie plate and I just want to keep it now! Would make a great display for candy for Easter time.

Pink Milk Glass Cake Stand

Oh my Mom and I found a gorgeous cake stand the other day. We couldn't go two days without going back to buy it. It's such a soft creamy pale pink, and the top of the stand is so intricate! Not to mention the lovely bubble footed bottom.

I couldn't help but put my lovely MacBeth Evans pastel striped plates on the top to see how it looked. Oh I would love to have a dinner party and have the plates in the middle of the table on the cake stand.

Even though I love it (as I love everything I buy), I am selling this pink cake stand on my CreamyVintageEtsy shop, as I just don't have any room for it. Click the shop name to check it out.

UPDATE: It sold on March 13, 2011

Moderntone Platonite Saucers

I found these two saucers at a great antique store. The woman there has thousands of pieces of glass, if I'm in there for more than 5 minutes I start to get a panic attack. I'm scared I touch one thing and everything in the store will break. It's a serious concern every time I go there.

Anyway, she has loads at this store, the only thing is, it's not too close, then again none of my favorite places are. She has really great deals and knows everything about everything.

These two saucers are in such good condition! I love that they look like pottery but are in fact milk glass, you can see when you flip it over. And though they are saucers, they can still be used as small plates or put on display. I can see them used in a pale/pastel theme display, possibly for Easter, would that not be too cute? They would match the frosted tumblers I posted yesterday. Can you tell I'm all about the pastel shades, and Easter time?
