It Runs in the Family

Welcome my mom to the Etsy family! She sells vintage and antique items in her Aunt Ronae's Treasures shop.

When my mom first told me last fall that she would be opening her shop, I warned her that it could take awhile to make her first sale. I wanted her to know that there were a lot of sellers and it takes awhile for Google to pickup your listings. Wouldn't you know it, she sold an item her first day open!

She loves going to auctions and estate sales looking for unique items to share in her shop, like this Royal Typewriter. Complete with the manual and a cute cover!

She also has several doilies like this one with the Angels. Many of these belonged to my great grandmother and were found preserved in her cedar chest.

So if you're in the market for some neat vintage or antique items, stop by and see my mom's shop :)

  10. I didn't know your mom has a shop on Etsy--that's great! That manual typewriter looks so similar to the one on which I learned to type back in high school--I wonder what that says about me, LOL. Bet she sells it soon, though!
