Etsy Shop Update

I just wanted to give a little update of my vintage Etsy store for those of you who were around when I first opened it in June of this year. And for those who are new, here's a chance to learn about my Etsy store! I've never had more than 25 items listed at a time, so it's been a slow start...BUT the good news is, I have made some money off my store and have sold 20 items so far!

My future goals for the store are:
1) Get more inventory
2) Advertise on more blogs
3) More giveaways!

I absolutely love finding vintage treasures that other people pass by, and then find new homes for them. When I buy things at estate/garage sales, I take a gamble that someone else will want to buy it, so I'm glad to see that I'm finding items that others like.

First Look

 I thought I would give you all a sneak peak of the items I'll be adding to my Etsy shop this week. All these items were found at garage and estate sales. And if you see something you like, I can reserve it for you (because you are all fabulous and get first pick!).

In Other News

My fingers and toes were feeling a little left out of the summer fun, 

so they (I might have helped) decided to add some color to their nails. 

For those of you who are just joining my blog, go check out the co-post I did here with the amazing Janette the Jongleur. We discuss the wows and woes of living in Southern California (and there's awesome pictures too!) 

GRAND OPENING OF MY ESTY SHOP!!

After many days of pricing and photographing over 50 vintage items, I am pleased to announce the Grand Opening of my Etsy shop!! I've always loved antiques and vintage things and am so happy that I can now share this love with others. It also took me a few days to decide on the name (which is one of the most important things!), and I appreciate those of you who helped me in that process. I wanted a name different from my blog that fit both me and my shop. 

I wanted a country feel to my name. "West" for being a California girl and a wanna be cowgirl, "Meadow" because I love being out in the country and I want my next house to be in a wide open meadow (for realz!), and vintage for what I'll be selling :) Put that all together and you have one awesome Etsy shop!! (At least I think so!)

I currently have 12 items listed and will be adding multiple items daily. I have put a lot of work into this shop including cleaning and researching items.  I compare what others are charging for similar items and try to keep my prices reasonable and low. I've also designed my own shop banner and button.

Now here's your chance to help me and save some money at the same time!!

Even if you're not interested in anything in my shop, I would be sooooooo very grateful if you could share my shop with your lovely readers. I will be your best friend forever!!! And if you already have a best friend, then I guess I'll be your second best :)

You guys are awesome! Thanks for reading and supporting me!
