This little blog will chronicle my ventures into selling vintage items in a local antique market. My booth is called Mad Maine Vintage Shop - it features items inspired by a certain popular TV show, and I am located in lovely Maine. Viva Vintage!
Fishing in the rain - it's the best! (According to my daughter)
I have just spent the last couple of weeks in my homeland, Norway. It was such a lovely visit, and much needed. Lots of time for friends, family, travelling - and yes, thrift store shopping!
Below is a little video from my favorite thrift shop at home. And let me tell you right away, it was excruciating not to be able to buy everything I wanted. Darn luggage restraints!
Here is part of my travel haul from my trip to Virginia. Both of these lovely kitchen items will go in my vintage booth (I so prefer to call it vintage rather than antique booth these days since I hardly ever sell anything antique). I was very tempted to keep this fondue pot (look at those fantastic legs!), but I do not need another one, so in the booth it will go. The lovely egg cups were made in West Germany. I want to keep those too, but I ain't gonna!
Below is a video where I describe my entire haul - and I will show you the one purchase that I already sold on ebay that paid for the rest of the haul. I love it when one thing sells and makes everything else pure profit, don't you?
Several of you commented on my last post/video saying that you also thrift on vacation (or wish you could!). I am glad I am not alone... Also, a big shout-out to SuzieQ for telling me the history about Asylum Street in CT - I loved that back story, thank you!!!
So, who is looking forward to summer and summer thrifts and flea markets as much as I am?
