Vintage on Etsy.com

   It's Wednesday! And that means it is time to share with you my weekly etsy.com finds. I love to support the handmade arts. But I have spent the last few weeks, during my blog break, cleaning out old boxes and looking through old art projects.  I even had a Yart Sale (yard + art = yart) to try and sell my old art to make room for new projects. All this got me thinking about the phrase "one man's junk is another man's treasure".  Nowadays we refer to this as recycle/ reusable items. So here we are - Vintage Finds from Etsy.com sellers for you. These vintage finds can all be used on your wedding day. From a pocket watch for your groom to a vintage chalk board for a sign; a white satin pocket book to a 1960's casual crocheted white summer dress each an item to add to your classic-vintage inspired wedding.
