sewing drawer | It's Still Life

I haven’t written about any of my junking finds lately. I have been to some garage sales and a couple of auction sales, but not nearly as many as usual. I have been working hard this month getting my shop restocked with awesome junk after doing almost nothing with it from late March through early June. Here are a few items.

This green metal toolbox is one of my favorites. Love the color. It is in very good condition and could be used for so many different storage options.

Not only metal toolboxes, but wood, handled toolboxes are items I always pick up. Love the blue color on this one.

Finding a few different train cases as well. This blue train case is perfect for storage. I have a black Samsonite one that I have to get listed soon.

I used to find a lot of drawers from old sewing machines. I don’t come across them nearly as often, but I do pick them up when I can. This one is a typical design for a sewing machine drawer. However I have another one with a great pull knob also listed.

I have found some fun and funky hats. I love the color of this bright pink puff hat.

Or this orange cloche hat. I have quite a few hats listed. Fall will be coming when wearing hats will be easier than in this hot weather.

I have also listed many different vintage aprons. From this crocheted apron.

To this embroidered fruit basket apron.

To full aprons like this funky flower full apron. Right now I have listed over 25 vintage aprons.

Even though I have not been writing about my junking or my Etsy shop, that is still apart of my life. Still enjoying it. Life is good.

I had my second best sales month ever. This past July was my best. 31 items went out the door this month. I have so enjoyed the interaction with my customers. Everyone has just been wonderful to work with. I have had some rush orders, and others that have asked me to hold the orders, so they don’t arrive when they aren’t home. I am always happy to try make it work for them.

I have also listed a few new things.

This lovely turquoise Hazelware snack set is simply lovely. I fell for the color as well as the shape.

I also added two beautiful Anchor Hocking Snack Sets. The trays are clear glass, but the cups are an emerald-green. Perfect for a holiday party. I decided to sell the two, 8 piece sets together.

This funky dot Hazel Atlas pitcher. I call it a bubble pitcher. Not sure what it really is called.

A set of industrial file drawers. There are 3 stackable cabinets that I decided to sell together. Is industrial still hot right now? I think so, my industrial items still seem to sell.

Still finding vintage hats. So I added this lovely green wool hat to my store.

I also added this vintage scarf along with a couple of cowboy hats and leather gloves. Since it is cold outside here in North Dakota it is easier to list warm clothing.

I even added some vintage 1970s Fisher Price toys like this Fisher Price Airport set.

Or this wonderful Fisher Price Parking Ramp and Service Station. I love those toys that were like ones I played with. Those Little People were so much better than the shape and look of those “safer” ones today.

This vintage sewing drawer was listed and sold quickly, but I just had to show it to you. The design and the drawer pull were fabulous. This one is one of those items in the bottom of an auction box that makes me squeal in delight at the unexpected find. It would be wonderful as a storage drawer in a craft room.

Yes, there is much more. I think the next couple of weeks will remain steady, or at least I hope they do, so I will be focusing on listing and selling.

If you have a store, are you finding that your sales are up?
