In preparation for my treasure hunting this weekend at the antique fair, I have been making endless LISTS!!! I have about a dozen customer requests for certain items people have seen in my Etsy shop, in magazines or elsewhere. In addition, I have my own list of what I call my "staple" items that I always try to keep in my shop. These particular items always sell well and fast! You could say they are my favorite tag-sale items that I will never pass up. So I have gathered a list for you of past finds that fly off the shelves. I hope to stock up accordingly this weekend!! Here goes...
 |
| Vintage Candle Holders... all shapes, sizes and styles. Painted, distressed and sold as a matched set...voila! |
 |
| Vintage Florentine Trays... the bright blues, aquas and greens tend to be favorites. |
 |
| Vintage Ornate Easels... painted ivory or white...great sellers. |
 |
| Vintage Ornate Frames... painted and distressed showing loads of character! |
 |
| Vintage Skeleton Brass Keys... sometimes just perfect as is, other times upcycled with a colorful can of paint! I just sold a set yesterday to a bride who plans to give them to her new husband...keys to her heart and soul. How sweet is that? |
 |
| Vintage Cane Chairs.... the cane must be in perfect condition or I will pass it up. I like to paint and distress the wood chair adding that shabby rustic touch. |
 |
| Vintage Aqua Mason Jars... can't keep these in stock if they are priced right! |
 |
| Vintage Shabby Foot Stools... this one happens to be a milking stool, but these are great sellers for the rustic farmhouse. |
 |
| Antique Bird Cages... repainted to a soft white or aqua blue....hot item! |
 |
| Vintage Toleware Trays... once again, blues and greens are a hot commodity. I try to find trays that are in fairly good condition without too many rust spots or scratches. |
 |
| Old shutters, painted and shabbied up for the rustic cottage. |
 |
| Vintage Book Bundles tied with ribbon...easy cottage decor. |
Have a great day....
