Vintage Junk in My Trunk: December 2014

The Etsy 90 Project, Listing 351 - 357

Are you ready? I'm not, but I'm still listing…

The Christmas items continue to sell, but not as fast and furious as in the last few weeks. Whew, it's been a whirlwind!

I found these tree skirts (tablecloths?) stuffed inside a cupboard next to my workstation. Guess I was going to list them, and forgot. There are two, in two different sizes, covered with sequined felt appliques and green fringe trim.

This Santa and his reindeer are pretty cute. The fringe is plastic.

One more with Santa by his lonesome.

I have a pair of these adorable plastic canvas and chenille angel tree toppers. The doll heads remind me of the Liddle Kiddles from the 1960s. I almost kept them.

I am selling these vintage handmade beaded ornaments individually in one listing. Although I may have to keep the pink one!

Speaking of pink, here are a bunch of pieces of pink Texas Ware melmac. Searched high and low for the match to those lids, but no luck.

And a couple of Pyrex fridgies, in the Butterprint (Amish) pattern, rounds out the listings for this week.

Hope you all have a wonderful and safe holiday!

The Etsy 90 Project, Listing 344 - 350

More Pyrex listed in the Etsy Project this week! Still Christmas-related though, with the snowflake pattern. This is the Black Snowflake divided casserole, with lid.

Turquoise Snowflake space savers (no lids) to complete last week's listing.

Fun Holt Howard Santas-in-cars candle holders (SOLD!).

Another pair of candle holders -- sweet Christmas angels, with original "Japan" stickers.

A white and gold porcelain praying angel, marked "MK 7/56".

Remember the ceramic tree from last week? SOLD!, four days after I listed it. I decided not to go the ebay route, and I am happy with my decision. I may not have gotten the most money out of it, but it sold quickly for a very good price, and I'm good with that.

I had a bunch of extra vintage bulbs, and am selling them in lots of ten. There's only one set left!

I actually listed this very kitschy light-up snowman tree topper on ebay for a couple of days. It had a bunch of watchers, but I started to get anxious that there wouldn't be a bidding war, and I would wind up selling it at the lower starting bid price.

So, bolstered by the sale of the ceramic tree, I pulled it and listed it on Etsy at a higher price. Again, it sold within days. I'm pretty sure that's going to be my M. O. from now on.

The Etsy 90 Project, Listing 337 - 343

Sales continue to be brisk this holiday season, and this week's Etsy Project has a few non-Christmas-y items listed too!

I don't collect Pyrex, although I have a recent appreciation for it. I do have a Friendship casserole dish (the reds and yellows go well in my kitchen), and thought about keeping this Orange Dot since it complements it, but decided it was too mod for me.

I also own a Snowflake casserole with lid, and am still thinking of keeping a different size or two of these lidless ones. You know I like the aqua, and the snowflakes are Christmas-y.

This Indiana Glass cakes stand is minty, and seems very Christmas-y to me -- I guess it's the red box.

Onto the real Christmas listings! These bulbs were made by the Henry Ford Museum for Avon in 1984. Not vintage enough for me, but good enough for Etsy!

More my vintage speed -- a red Shiny Brite with stencil and mica winter snowscene.

Two adorable holiday girl figurines, by NapcoWare. {SOLD!}

These ceramic trees are going for big bucks on ebay (especially if they are marked -- this one is by Atlantic Mold), but I didn't want to gamble on an auction. I listed it on Etsy for $125 and it sold within two days! Woo hoo!
