New Listings in the Vintage Shop - January 2025

I've changed the style of my vintage shop since November of last year. After the start of my fifteenth year on Etsy, I decided to downsize my inventory and instead sell what I really wanted. This meant quality items over quantity.

In the past, I've had upwards of 800 items to take care of and sell (and everything that goes with it like listing, storing, and shipping them) and over the last two months, I've whittled it down to a solid 250 items.

While that's still about fifty items more than I want, I figure I'll let those items sell over the year and continue to maintain my inventory with the things I truly love-- more of what I love. Wool, denim, silk, and unusual and fun items.

It's a challenge to go thrifting these days knowing I'm not trying to find as much as I can but more instead on "What do I really want to see in my shop?" and "What means the most to me?"

I just listed this beautiful space-dyed cardigan. I've only sourced a half dozen of these over the years, which is always shocking because they were so prevalent back in the '70s. While I'll be slowing down on the sweaters and outwear in a few weeks - to shift to spring and summer items - I've got a few more days this month to source what I wish I could sell all year round: sweaters, cardigans, jackets, and coats.

These boots are always fun too. They're Yodeler's faux fur boots. Having sold a few pairs of these, I always add these to my arms as soon as I see them! I think of them as vintage "Uggs," with a fitted -- i.e. better -- look. And the zippers are fun.

Have a great weekend! ♥
