New is Old is New

Most of the time, when I hit the local Goodwill down the block, I find nothing but discarded IKEA leftovers.  Either that or loads of couches and desks (circa 1987), lots of broken (or on their way to being broken) cd players, and the occasional gem--used socks.

I'm not sure where The Sunday Times Market find their stuff, but the stuff they find is amazing.  Perhaps it's some sort of magic spell they cast upon thrift store merchandise--just before they walk in and find each and every vintage treasure to be had.  Maybe they're members of a secret society of estate and yard sale attendees--where only the most interesting, colorful, and charming vintage pieces are revealed.  Whatever the reason, they've got an incredible knack for finding the perfect item for that (fill in the blank) in your (fill in the blank).

So if you're still searching for that perfect item to add some charm and vintage appeal to your living room, bedroom, or kitchen--stop looking....The Sunday Times Market has already found it.

ETSY Shop Profile: Bybelinda

Earlier this morning, I was using the extremely fun "Pounce" tool on ETSY.  In addition to discovering previously undiscovered shops (shops without sales), Pounce allows you to see what items have recently been sold.  I chose the latter and "pounced" upon Bybelinda.  Her lovely shop features hand embroidered paper goods (greeting cards and journals), zipper pouches, and even super-fun, 5" x 7" art pieces (custom designs accepted).  Here's a great tip for my fellow ETSY sellers out there:  check out her item titles and photos--notice how incredibly cute they are!  Personally, I can't resist the "when i dip. you dip. we dip." hand embroidered big dipper ($16):
