Tuesday's Treasures

Aww, what the heck! We need a pick me up, and here it is - we love this ornate Sterling Silver cross pendant and chain.


Isn't she lovely? Perfect for the Christian in your life. Merry Christmas.

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!

What's What Wednesday: Latest Listings & Upcoming Friday Finds

Hoorah! Beaded necklaces and Christmas goodies are getting listed. You must find something you like, now. Being a vintage shop, most of what we have is one of a kind. Which means once it's gone...it's gone. So we're recommend that if you see something you like, to buy it right away! There aren't more where these came from ;-)

Oh, and we're working on Christmas shipping schedules, gift wrap options, and so on. We'd love to hear what you do, what you'd like, etc.

Finally, we've been wanting to do this for awhile, but haven't seemed to be able to motivate ourselves and find the time: this Friday's Finds will be on Micro Mosaic pieces from Italy. We have a lovely one just waiting for you!

Monday Musings: Christmas Is Coming

Yup. Time to start prepping for Christmas in the shop, and it's only September! We have a lovely selection of beaded necklaces to list as well as Christmas-related vintage pieces. They're really quite fabulous.

Once the VJSE Back to School Sale comes to a close tonight, I think we'll launch a BOGO 1/2 off item of lesser value sale on beaded necklaces, and most come with free shipping!

Enjoy the Back to School Sale while it lasts! Then check back to see when the next sale starts!
