Tuesday Travels: Upstate New York

My mother and I have always had a fond spot for vintage items, preservation, and reunification. We have long loved the hunt for "buried treasures" in different types of stores. But two years ago this past August, my mother's aunt passed away. And we realized that even between the two of us, we simply couldn't ingest all that Aunt Kate had in her home.

So, we embarked upon our first series of sales on eBay under the name Mom and Misha. You can still find us there. While we don't have an eBay store; we do have a few auctions going at almost all times. The more we sold on eBay, though, the more we realized we wanted a full-time store of the really precious items, which is how A Vague reCollection came to be.

This past weekend, we went back up to my mom's aunt's. We have lots of 'new' vintage items to list, and we'll be doing so in the coming weeks! We have lots of jewelry and some Christmas decorations to list before the holidays; and we will be listing Lenox figurines and Fiestaware after the holidays most likely. Oh, and do we have anything you could need in terms of vintage buttons and seashells! All coming soon...

We'll try to get some pictures up tonight to whet your appetite!
