2009 ETSY Favorites

Well, I think I will close out 2009 with a post with some of my favorite ETSY items in 2009. Some of these items I purchased, some I did not (but that didn't mean I didn't want to buy them). Some are handmade and some are Vintage. If you have never checked out ETSY then you definitely need to! It is an eclectic mix of sellers for vintage and handmade items and a place to find a one of a kind item!

Vintage Christmas

This is our Christmas tree, it is all vintage Christmas ornaments from the 1950's and 1960's. This is our second year to do a vintage Christmas tree. The ornaments are from my family. They were my grandparents and my dad gave them to me after my grandparents passed away. I feel so blessed to have them and carry on using them for our family Christmas tree. It brings me such joy every time I look at them and I know my grandparents would be so happy we had them and were using them in our home. I hope everyone has a chance to keep a piece of their family vintage or antique holiday decor to keep the tradition alive.

Twitter

Well, I have a personal twitter that I have been using for some time to keep up with friends but I finally created a Twitter for ETSY vintage sales. Feel free to check me out at www.twitter.com/ModGirlVintage I hope I can keep up with all this....

Vintage Retro suitcases

I have a fascination with luggage. Luggage of any kind, big or small, old or new. Why? I don't know really, it could be because I am a flight attendant but I don't think so. I have had this love of luggage all my life. I remember my first little suitcase, it was a little red carry case and I filled it with anything important to me and I took it with me everywhere. I think I was maybe 4 or 5 years old. So I started my love of bags very early! :-) I was even excited when I got my standard issue black flight attendant travel bags from the airline. I was so excited about all the pockets! And man can I cram it full! I love these vintage brown leather suitcases. I can just imagine all the places they have been and treasures they used to hold! I thought you would enjoy seeing them too. To check out my other finds visit me on ETSY.
