Open for business!

After months of hunting, loads of research and a few embarrassingly bad photo shoots, I officially opened my Etsy shop, JennythingVintage, this week. I'm starting small - only 25 items or so - but like a squirrel, I have a stockpile to last me through the slim pickins of winter.

As long as I can remember, I've wanted to own my store, and it wasn't until this summer that I really considered Etsy as a way to test those waters. We were hosting a garage sale and one lady grabbed all the cutest stuff (you know, the kind of stuff you'd totally keep if you had just a few more closets) in one giant haul. As I was helping her load her car, she turned to me and said, "You should really open a shop on Esty [sic]." I laughed, but when I went back to my post at the sale, I had time to consider her idea. With each hour I grew more excited, and by the time the weekend was over, I couldn't wait to get started hunting down treasures. I've been on the prowl ever since.

This blog will be a place to tell the stories behind the items in my shop,  and share some of the adventures from my hunts. Believe me, I see some interesting things, meet some even more interesting people, and trample through some crazy dwellings, all in the name of finding goodies that catch my eye. Thanks for reading and sharing the adventure with me!
