VintageTreasures4U and Remnants From The Past right in my backyard

I've found vintage jewelry in my backyard ... Judi from Wabash, IN is a vintage costume jewelry collector who enjoys the hunt as much as being able to pass the pieces on to others to enjoy. I can relate when she says, "The best part is the hunt and finding that special treasure that makes your heart beat a bit faster". I get that same feeling when I attend an auction and start bidding on an item that I want.

Judi sells her vintage costume jewelry in several online venues. You can visit her Ruby Lane store, Remnants From The Past where you will find vintage costume jewelry both signed and unsigned. You might find designer names such as Trifari, Coro, Lisner, Goldette, or Coventry. Here, Judi offers free shipping on jewelry purchases over $30.

This Vintage Poodle Brooch with Faux Pearls is one of the fun-est pieces I've seen in a while and I found it at Remnants From The Past.




Judi also sells her jewelry on Etsy at her store VintageTreasures4U. At this store you might also find, as Judi calls them, 'vintage treasures' other than jewelry.

And she is right ... look at this vintage treasure I found, Vintage Comb with Rhinestones and Enameling. I've never seen one as lovely as this.




She also has some very gorgeous jewelry sets, like this Demi Teal and Blue Rhinestone Brooch and Earring Set. I love the way it sparkles.



Judy is also a member of the Vintage Village.

Shop with confidence at Allison's Antiques & Vintage Jewelry

Just stopped in at Alison's Antiques & Vintage Jewelry at Ruby Lane where you can find a lot of vintage jewelry but also a variety of clothing, glass, porcelain, and various collectibles.

I found this lovely vintage Heart Shaped Sterling Silver Pill Box that was acquired from an estate sale ... beautiful piece from the past.

Allison's Antiques and Vintage Jewelry has a platinum shop rating which means she's sold over 1000 items. Right now she has reduced the price on over 100 items.


For those of us still celebrating the 4th of July what about this Pell Patriotic Rhinestone Flag Brooch.


If you don't find what you're looking for here then stop on over at Alison's Etsy store, AntiqueAli's Vintage Treasures where she has another large selection of vintage/designer jewelry. This store has been featured in the Facebook "Wall of Jewels".


This 40's Sterling Silver Green Rhinestone Flower Brooch reminds me of one my grandmother use to have ... it is truly stunning.

Oodles of Vintage Jewelry at 'Purple Daisy Jewelry'

Sue, from Purple Daisy Jewelry, says, "If your taste is an eclectic one you should enjoy browsing thru my selection of vintage jewelry in great wearable condition and at affordable prices". Sue is Texas born and bred and even though when she was 12 her mother started selling jewelry, Sue didn't get the bug until after she was married and had children. Her and her mother then spent countless hours sharing the passion of jewelry, going on jewelry hunts and discussing their finds.

Purple Daisy Jewelry on Etsy is busting at the seams. She has vintage rings, bracelets, earrings, necklaces, brooches, charms, crosses, and jewelry sets. So much to choose from!


Check out this Nodell 12K Goldfilled Cross Necklace Pendant from the 70's. It is beautiful with the goldtone box chain.






I just love vintage rhinestones ... look at this vintage molded glass pale pink rhinestone brooch ... it is truly stunning!







If you didn't get enough vintage jewelry at her etsy store, try her Purple Daisy Jewelry on Ecrater. Here Sue sells Vintage, Antique, Sterling, Costume, New and Gently Used jewelry.


I fell in love with this Crystal Bead Expansion Bracelet with silvertone metal and aurora borealis finished crystals. Look at the way it sparkles and shines ... lovely.





Sue is living her dream! Her goal is to continue bringing customers great jewelry at great prices but most importantly, she wants you to leave you smiling (which she symbolizes in her very cute avatar - the smiling purple daisy)! You can also visit Sue at the Vintage Village.

Camelot Glass and Collectibles

Looking for Carnival, Vaseline, Opalescent, Depression, or Art Pottery? Look no further ... Camelot Glass and Collectibles on Etsy just may have what you're looking for. Glenda is a long time haunter of auctions, flea markets and second hand shops. She deals primarily in vintage glassware but don't be surprised if you see metalware, vintage accessories, figurines, or plates in her store.

I have found several pretty pieces that would look good in my house. This Lord Nelson China Blue Pansy Chintz Teapot is just adorable. Glenda has it up for auction ... don't let this one slip by ... only 3 1/2 days left.



Another Chintz piece, this Lord Nelson Marina Chintz Underplate is also up for auction and also only has 3 1/2 days left. I am falling in love with Chintz .... it is amazingly adorable.

Vintage4U, AllButtons, and AllPatterns on Etsy

I began my title with just Vintage4U on Etsy but I soon found out, Elaine actually has 4 online stores:

Vintage4U on Etsy where she specializes in antique and vintage toys, paper, supplies and treasures. Elaine believes (and I have to agree) that there are so many wonderful things from the past that just can't be replaced with today's modern items.

AllButtons on Etsy where she sells antique and vintage buttons. She loves the many styles and colors and it facinates her to see how the buttons have changed over the years.

AllPatterns on Etsy where she sells 100's of different patterns from many decades by many makers and for many styles. Many of the patterns for sale were never used and most of the ones that were cut have been very carefully done and are neatly folded and placed back into the envelope.

Timeless Treasures Antiques and Collectibles on Ruby Lane where she sells a variety of antiques and collectibles.

Elaine was an antique appraiser and sold antiques and collectibles for over 20 years. She's a very interesting lady and I found that I have some things in common with her. She loves contemporary christian music and I really could relate to her blog entry How I Learned to Conserve and Survive on her blog, Treasure It Always. I too love contemporary christian music, am a saver and big time coupon user.

I have to say that she has many wonderful items for sale. This vintage sewing notions collections is one of my favorites because there is something special about old sewing notions. I had some vintage sewing notions that I used to decorate a wreath. Elaine suggests making a shadowbox out of them which would also look good adorning the wall of a sewing room.

You can also find Elaine at the Vintage Village.

JenniferLynn's Finds at the Atomic Mall

Today I've stopped by JenniferLynn's Finds at the Atomic Mall. Jennifer is an artist, writer, and animal lover who lives in Maryland just outside the DC area. She loves to barter, use Freecycle, reclaim, dumpster dive, and try to help others out which she's done by joining a community of artists who put their proceeds into helping animals.

At JenniferLynn's Finds right now the major focus is books but you will also find some silver. Jennifer is always adding things and says that you'll never know what might turn up. She has the entire collection of the 1909 Harvard Classics (50 books in all) which cover every major literary figure, philosopher, religion, folklore, and historical subject through the 20th century. I love silver so the Reed & Barton Holiday silverplate is one of my favorites.


Jennifer also uses the Dragon Nthly as a promotional blog and can also be found at the Vintage Village.

Posh Adornment on Etsy

Looking for antique jewelry ... then you have to visit Posh Adornment, where you will find a selection of Victorian, Art Nouveau, Art Deco, and Edwardian art glass jewelry. This beautiful Victorian gold beaded fringe bib collar is one of my favorites.This mother/daughter team has been selling antique, fine and vintage jewelry for many years. Collecting antique jewelry has been in the family for many generations.

If you don't find what you're looking for at their etsy store check out their online store PoshAdornment.com.

They also have a Posh Adornment blog, where they not only write about jewelry and other people's fashion and jewelry items, but also have links to their numerous articles on eHow which showcase many of their other interests. While at the blog, read how Susan got started in the antique jewelry business, In The Beginning Was The Word ... And The Word Was Jewelry.

I learned about Posh Adornment and have met many other vintage enthusiasts at the Vintage Village. Tomorrow I will introduce you to JenniferLynn's Finds.

The Vintage Village

It's a great place to socialize. There are over 600 members both buyers and sellers and all are very knowledgable and willing to share information. So stop on by and tell them Endless Collectabilities sent you.
