Miss Ivy is generally more interested in boxes, but really, who can resist a big, crinkly paper bag?

crazy from the heat

and yet busy.

Very, very busy.

You see, I have about 4,379,398, 220 items both here at home and in my storage locker that need to go on Etsy and be sold, thereby getting me $$$ to buy even MORE stuff.

In the last 24 hours, the following items have made it into my shops:







Three vintage scarves and a great old Pat Prichard hankie, all in my new-ish shop, FriskyVintage - www.etsy.com/shop/friskyvintage




And, lastly, we find some jewelry, a great piece of old restaurant china, a nifty example of back in the day advertising, and a late 1950's Christmas gift box.

BEEyootiful shell cameo

When, I ask you, have you even seen anything prettier than this, cameo-ally speaking?
As great as it looks in the photo, it looks exactly FIVE TIMES BETTER in person.
