Re: When Browsing on eBay or Etsy...

@Mersha   On Etsy I look for vintage clothing--especially hats and blazers.  I also look for vintage and costume jewelry.

 

I wanted to replace a particilar dual purpose Candelite vase/candleholder set which I located on Ebay.

 

Right now I am trying to locate a particular style gallery tray to use on my coffee table.  

 

I enjoy the hunt and am patient.

Mine would be vintage cash registers.  For some crazy reason, even as a child, they have intrigued me.


@Mersha  Just curious. Do you own a vintage cash register? That would be really cool.

@kitcat51   I enjoy those as well.  I am looking for a neat primitive scarecrow.

Re: When Browsing on eBay or Etsy...

I look for sold out QVC and HSN merchandise that I've missed out on, and just about any and everything else! I also enjoy browsing for unique Christmas ornaments and decor.

 

I'm always on the hunt for retired Akaad jewelry, although most of the remaining stock in circulation does not appeal to me.😄 It's always nice when I find pieces that do.😊

@Drythe  What type of glassware is a favorite?

 

My grandmother left quite a few pices of her depression glass and sketched drinking glasses and they are pretty.

@Porcelain   I do have an old one from the 1920's.  My little ones really enjoyed playing store with it and it helped them with counting and change.

 

I would love to have one of the electric ones that were in grocery stores in the 60's.  Smiley Happy

@gidgetghSpeaking of which, I just received 2 new bagsbyapril from Etsy and my first masks from her (two) which I need to wash before I use. Love my two new bags. She has some new ones posted.

 

@Pearlee  I looked at them....pretty bags.

Growing up, my best friend had a really old cash register we used to play with in her basement. Not electric at all. Pretty sure it was wood on the outside. Oak I think. Good times. I wish I could remember the backstory behind it, but I'm not sure I ever even knew.

 

I used to love sneaking my dad's electric adding machine to play with too. He did not enjoy how much paper roll I used up.

 

Thanks for sparking those memories. They are very special for me. I'm glad for your little ones they got to play store with your cash register. Woman Happy
