It's A Holiday Market Monday Take Two!

*THANK YOU for all of your helpful (and sweet) comments on my last post!
 Hi friends! Welcome to my first little Holiday Market! It's a mix of both handmade and vintage items. If you don't find something today, I'll be having at least two more markets before Christmas.

As always, if you're the first person to speak up for an item below, consider it SOLD. Thank you for making this so easy and fun!

Please make sure that I have a working email for you, and I will send you a PAYPAL INVOICE within about 48 hours.

Merry and Noel: $22 PAIR SOLD
My first spun head dolls I think. A sweet pair of angel girls made of nearly all vintage materials. Their skirts are remnants of an old tulle x-mas tree! 4 inches tall

 

 Santa Mug Collection: $8 SOLD

The one with blue eyes in the only one not marked JAPAN. All are a bit chippy or crazed.

Jumbo Vintage Deer: $19 SOLD
Celluloid deer with vintage trims, and glitter. He stands 9.5 inches tall!
 

 Holt Howard Angel Tree Topper: $30 SOLD

She can be a tree topper or free-stand. Her chenille arms are original to her. She holds a vintage candy cane and tree from JAPAN. Her skirt is made from a vintage tulle x-mas tree that I pulled apart. Glass mercury beads go all around her waist. I re-glued her HH sticker to the inside of her cone. Oh! And her halo is made of that wonderful vintage pink tinsel!

 

 Holiday Crafting Supplies: $8    2 AVAILABLE BOTH SOLD

I packed these bags! There are glass beads, a Santa, a Snowman, a Spun Head, a lots of other fun stuff! There's a vintage poker chip too if you need a base for a character.
 

 

 Spun Cotton Pink Angel Lights: 45.00 for 2 Boxes SOLD

I tried them last night and they work perfectly. I don't think they've ever been used. There are 15 angels on each strand. Sorry, I don't want to break up the set. So darn cute and unique!

 

A close up!

 

 Set of 3 Handmade Christmas Corsages: $12 SOLD

If you saw my previous post, these are the three that are entirely vintage materials

except for the foil bow.

 

 

St/2 Antique Composition Snowmen: $12 SOLD

The one on the right has a repair to his knee. It's done well though. These are just under 3 inches tall.

Not sure if they're German or Czech.

 

  Baby Jesus Scene: $18 SOLD

The metal piece was some sort of gage. I've cut a very old card down to fit the back.  It has two kinds of vintage tinsel , and a wonderful old mica covered star over the tree (I've waited soooo long to use that little star lol) The tree (not the glass beads)  and deer are new, but the angel is an original

 Holt Howard!

 

The card was from 1941 and I put some of it on the back!

 

Shiny Brites: $12 SOLD

I'll find you a S.B box top. These are in "good vintage" condition. Some age related wear.

Measure about 2.5 inches across. Standard size.

 

 

Happy Holidays! Erica  



What Was The Deal With Market Monday? (and a few finds)

Hello there my Dear Bloggy Pals!

 I'm sorry about the confusion with "Market Monday". Here's what happened. First of all the day started off with a very nasty email from someone who read a post of mine. And by nasty I mean that this woman was completely out of her mind. But more importantly she was so very wrong, both about me and the post itself because she didn't read it closely. So after immediately deleting the comment I got right to work on my "Market Monday" post.

 

(Several weeks ago I scored this big concrete planter for $9 at the 50% off day of an Estate Sale)

 

So then my market started at 5:00pm and right away I started having problems with

 being able to contact any of my customers. Every sale was from someone

that had a no-reply email and a completely blank profile.

 



(Vintage aqua plates marked "Poppy Trail by Metlox", found at Goodwill for .99 each)

 

So after waiting all evening with no contact, and not even knowing if they were serious buyers...I just decided to shut it down. It was just "one of those days"!

 



(A bunch of spun heads, including a jumbo one, found at my favorite antique store)

 

Now let me say that each of these customers ended up being REAL (and very nice) !

 They contacted me by last night and it all worked out. And of course I appreciate them shopping at my little market so much!

 



Did you think I could get through a post w/o showing any x-mas stuff? Haa!

Fun "smalls" from that same antique store.

 

Now for my "SOAP BOX".

I believe that It's frustrating for many bloggers who receive comments from people who have Google profiles that are totally empty, and a no-reply email address. I get that it's each person's right to create their online identity whichever way they choose. But I can't tell you how often I want to thank someone for a kind comment they've left on my blog, and I can not. And it's even worse when someone has asked a question and then I go to answer it and it says "no-reply". I worry that they'll think I'm being so rude to not even answer.

And it really makes things difficult when it involves my "Market Mondays".

 



( Because I love tacky spun cotton characters so much, I felt I should have some that are encapsulated forever in "unbreakable" plastic! lol They were a good deal on EBay )

 

So, that's the story! I'm just suggesting that if you have a no-reply email address you might want to consider changing it, or just make sure that you leave us a way to get a hold of you when we need to.

 



Here is a helpful tip: If you name your dog Noel (not Noelle) you can easily find her name on an assortment of Holiday décor...making it even more tempting to buy! :)

These were each .50 at that 50% off Estate Sale. I think I will cut a hole in the round piece to make it a feather tree skirt.

 

OK- I will re post my previous "Market Monday" this coming Monday the 18th at 5:00 central time. I'll be sure to add more items too!

 

Thank you all so much! I hope you're having a great week.

Erica :)
