Here we are, already a week into June! I am looking forward to July; I'll begin listing my vintage holiday items into my neglected Vintage Christmas Junk shop.
It's been neglected on purpose; although I have made a few sales there this year, I feel as if people aren't really shopping hard for vintage Christmas until the "Christmas in July" promotions. So I'll soon be able to get my hoard of holiday items listed and fill that shop back up!
As for this week's Etsy Project listings, I am all over the place. First up, a vintage cocktail shaker with lid.
And this aqua and red "Life of Napoleon Bonaparte" antique book with embossed cover and tons of illustrations.
This McCoy serving bowl was hard to research. I only found one other similar image on Google; it was green with a white loop pattern, and sold on Etsy last month.
Love the color on this vintage cocoa tin from the A&P company, although the paper label is varnished into place.
Adorable vintage embroidery of a dog -- the fabric is stamped "Austria."
Beautiful vintage chalk statue of Mother Elizabeth Seton St. Lucy Filippini (thanks, Tamar)! She weighs almost 3.5 pounds, is dated 1937, and has only a few small chips.
And lastly, a chalkware Infant of Prague. I have sold a bunch of these on Etsy, but still have quite a collection available.
LISTING 148 - 154
148. Vintage Cocktail Shaker Drink Mixer Recipe Mad Men
149. Antique Book Life of Napoleon Bonaparte Illustrated
150. Vintage McCoy White Oval Serving Bowl Yellow Loop
151. Antique Cocoa Tin A & P Paper Label Tin
152. Vintage Embroidery Needlepoint Dog Austria
The chalkware nun is St. Lucy Filippini (not sure of spelling), who founded a religious order.

My vintage Christmas shoppe is pretty neglected too. I just keep relisting what's already there. I have had a sale or 2 every month this year. It's weird to think about starting to list stuff... but man, I have amassed a ton of vintage Christmas since, well, Christmas.

That McCoy bowl would never make me think "McCoy". I would have passed it up totally, interesting find.
