Vintage Thingies Thursday: Vintage Dog Treasures

Welcome everyone to Vintage Thingies Thursday. The 
First Vintage Thingies Thursday for  2013. That is hard to believe! Time is marching on!!

If you have a love for vintage things, well....you have come to the right place. We have a really good time each and every week!!!
If you are new to this party, please take the time to read and follow the instructions for participating in Vintage Thingies Thursday, click HERE. I try and keep things fairly simple, so please make sure you follow the instructions. Please only ONE link per week. Lastly, if you link in, LINK back to my blog, so everyone can see all of the vintage goodies on display that day. If you don't link back here, they won't know who to visit......thanks so much.

As you all know, I love doggie treasures!! I have a couple to share with you today. The first one was a gift from my mom. We were at a shop in Austin...a terrific shop that is full of the most unusual things that you could search your whole life for and NEVER see them for sale anywhere else.

This shop is on South Congress, right where all the food trucks are...my husband and I love this place and always want to take people there when we visit my daughter. Funny thing is, I don't think any of these people we have taken there are half as impressed as we are...we just love it and all the yummy food trucks.

 My sister in law, mom and I were browsing among all the uncommon objects when my sister in law spotted this cute little dachshund planter. It is rather small and of course I wanted it. I promised my mom that once she purchased it and wrapped it up, I'd forget all about it.....ummm....sure I did!!  Shhhhhh don't tell mom any different!

This little dog was not found at the shop, but would have fit in well there. I spotted him on one of my thrifting trips and brought him home. He may end up in my etsy shop at some point...he is not a dachshund after all, and well....that is all about that!

Happy Vintage Thingies Thursday, I am so glad you are joining me this year once again.

Garage Sale Saturday!!! Sorry for the DELAY!!!!

*** So, so sorry that this post did not publish this morning!!!! I had it all set to go and well...it did not do its thing!! Here is the post for Garage Sale Saturday and hopefully, some will link in below!!!

Welcome to Garage Sale Saturday! I am stepping in and hosting a couple of Months for Bonnie Hunter. She has her plate full and is unable to host this as she has done in the past. This is temporary!! I will host in her place for a bit!

Her rules she has in place apply here. Link in with your unwanted quilting items and remember, to price garage sale prices. Most of all my listings (even the new) are below retail. I just need to get rid of some of the stash that is hanging around and not getting used.

I link all my listings to my Etsy account, as I work on Saturdays and can not answer emails. For my listings, click on the link under the photo to take you to the page where you can purchase and see more information about the listing.

Be sure to read each sellers descriptions and how they are running their garage sale on their blog.

Good luck and happy shopping!!

Vintage Thingie Thursday: Vintage Salesman Button Cards

Welcome everyone to Vintage Thingies Thursday. If you have a love for vintage things, well....you have come to the right place. We have a "dog-gone" good time each and every week!!! If you are new to this party, please take the time to read and follow the instructions for participating in Vintage Thingies Thursday, click HERE. I try and keep things fairly simple, so  please make sure you follow the instructions.  Please only ONE link per week. 

Here it is time for Vintage Thingie Thursday and well, honestly, I had nothing......nothing that I had photographed or could find had ready to be photographed.
  
So....please forgive me this one time. I am going to show some neat vintage button cards and well....plug my newly opened Etsy Shop at the same time. (See link on Left Side Bar, at bottom of page)  I promise I won't do it again, just this once. If you want to stop in and browse, there will be a link on the sidebar of my blog. As you might have guessed, THESE photos were still on my computer from adding them to the shop, so that sorta made it a little easier for me.

These are vintage button salesman show cards that were used when calling on department stores and small shops that ordered and sold buttons. These are FANTASTIC in my opinion. I love them. I think they are very unusual and fun to see how buttons were ordered for selling in stores.

I was fortunate enough to come across so many of them in one location, so I purchased all of them. I decided that some of my favorite ones would be a great addition to my sewing room....in a frame.

I love this frame, a Goodwill find a few months ago. I love it and had saved it for just the right thing....I think these two make a great statement together....the button card and the frame!

So there you have it! I love how it turned out. And I am glad to have rescued these cards from the lady that was going to toss them if they did not sell. I have several styles and cards in the shop, would make a great gift for the quilter, seamstress or button collector. Just an idea!!

Have a great Vintage Thingie Thursday.....and promise.....you won't hear me mention the shop again.....I guess it is still too new not to be exciting to me!! Thanks in advance for you allowing me this one post on the subject!!

Have a great week Everyone!! And as always, there will be a link up for next Thursday! Here in the USA it is a holiday ~ It's Thanksgiving, but I always leave a link up so if you decide to do a post next week, just so you know, a link will be up!!
