I found a few vintage noisemakers in my stash; the one I listed on New Year's Eve sold that night! So I put the others up too, like this gun-toting cowboy clicker.
I also started to list some vintage games; if they don't sell as a complete set then I'll break them up and sell just the pieces as altered art/jewelry supplies. Like these wooden numbers and letters.
I found a pair of these ceramic pheasants (?) on a quick thrift trip; the other had been repaired at the tail, so I didn't buy it. Does this thing scream 1968 or what?
More vintage ornaments for my Christmas shop. Views (and sales) have definitely come to a screeching halt slowed down a bit, but I completely expected that. I know I'll have a few sales here and there, but come "Christmas in July" things will start to get busy again. And I'll be ready!
LISTING 1-7
001. Vintage Noisemaker Clicker Cowboy Gunfighter Metal Tin
002. Vintage Kirchhof Clicker New Year Costume Party Tin
003. Vintage Flinch Game Box Complete Wedding Table Cards
004. Vintage Noisemaker Sombrero Bongo Music Metal Toy
005. Vintage Large Orange Pheasant Bird of Paradise Ceramic
006. Vintage Christmas Red Ornaments Original Box Rauch Ball
I think you're smart to stock that Christmas shop. It's pretty cheap and easy to just renew all the listings if they don't sell this time of year. That is a pheasant (there's a pheasant farm down the road) and it is screaming something ... 1968 is as good a guess as any!

Things have slowed down for me on my Christmas items - but I'm trying to list all vintage holiday stuff. Valentine's is already selling! :)
