It's been a long time since I've updated the blog--not because I've not been working but because the last several times I've logged in my posts wouldn't post :(
At any rate, I've worked my way through bins of vintage that I'd gotten backed up on so be sure to check out my etsy store for tons of newly discovered vintage goodies!

Some special St. Patrick's Day items are listed--grab them while they last!

Be sure to use coupon code: 1STPURCH for 10% off your entire order PLUS enjoy a surprise free item with each order for the month of March!

P.S. I found a great WWII era 1940s nurses uniform dress that I was able to authenticate locally thanks to someone putting their name in it many many years ago--too cool.

Biggest Coupon Code Sale ever! Back to School!

OK, little vintage divas, I have built my largest coupon code ever to honor back-to-school time! Every thing in my etsy store is eligible--buy any three items and take 33% off the purchase price of all of them! Plus, there will be a free item included with every purchase. This deal is open to our buyers outside the U.S. as well. I have several relatively new items--50s/60s shoes in a size 10 narrow, fab coats and dresses including plus sizes, and summer items are also included.

HUGE vintage lingerie event on ebay for January...

All through the month of January, enter "VTE" in your ebay search bar and find loads of vintage lingerie and boudoir-related items listed from participating ebay vintage clothing and accessory sellers! There should be hundreds of items listed over the month, but be sure to check back often because some will be on 30-day fixed price listings and others will be traditional auctions. There is no price constraint, but some sellers will be offering discounts or other perks (almost all sellers offer combined shipping discounts, just ask!) and many items will be seen for the first time.

Secret Spring Vintage Sale 50% off!

***Shhh Secret Spring Sale--this will only be advertised on etsy and on my houndvintage blog. Buy at least three items from my etsy store from 12am CDT Wed. March 24 and 10pm CDT Tues. March 30 and get those three (or more) items at half price! Combined shipping discounts will still apply. This is a great sale to stock up on vintage with! I have not restricted any items, my entire stock is on sale!

It has been a busy winter--hope everyone is seeing some sunshine and ready to get outside!

VBO is coming!

Ohhh, yippie it's coming! The Holiday Season 2009 Vintage VBO sale on ebay is running November 25-29. Simply search by keyword "vbo" during those dates for hundreds of vintage goodies from dozens of vintage sellers, all priced at 19.99 or less on buy-it-now terms--so there's no waiting for auctions to end, it's first come-first served! This is the perfect time to seek out that fab, one of a kind holiday dress or sweater! Be aware, many sellers combine or discount shipping so be sure to ask--that may sweeten the deal! Feel free to contact me if you'd like more information. You can also see this at facebook: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?ref=profile&id=100000493936727#/profile.php?id=100000493936727

Tons of new stuff coming!

This beautiful Persian lamb sweetie just found a new home last week--add that one to the list of things that I almost kept for myself!
Brought home this sweet Lilli Diamond jersey in a rich cocoa brown...absolutely drool-worthy ;)
Also hoping to get some of these fab 50s sewing patterns up--put the first few on ebay yesterday, but have a bunch to go--great time of year coming for sewing projects! I've been sooo busy...Buying (the fun part) and now listing, I am well-stocked with vintage for the next few weeks. Just came into an estate purchase of many 60s dresses I'm hoping to get ready in the next few days. Many new listings will go to ebay first, some to etsy, so watch 'em both!

Busy, busy, busy...how about a freebie sale?

This week at my houndvintage shop on www.etsy.com: the "Hound, send me a freebie" sale! order any item(s) in the store, the usual shipping discounts for multiples will apply BUT for every item you purchase, there will be a free item in the package. "What will it be?", you say? Hmmm, maybe jewelry, scarves, outfits, paper items, or home linens, but it WILL be vintage, of that you can be sure

This is good for this week August 2-August 9 only; I will be temporarily locking up shop the week of Aug. 10 (I'll still be around to ship then).

So stop in and see what vintage goodies catch your eye and if you have any questions, just ask!

FREE shipping PLUS Free Vintage!

I am almost done with my summer promotion on Etsy and thought I'd give it one last rev-up before switching gears to Fall/Winter promotion...
Orders from my etsy store of $30 or more get FREE U.S. Shipping and this week only, for every item you purchase, I will add another vintage item to your shipment FREE! I will choose from my stock based on available sizes of clothing or may include vintage home decor or accessories. This deal will be good from today, July 20 2009 through Friday July 24 2009.
