Celebrate Success!

Antique Book, Lavishly Illustrated on Every Page

I'm happy, thrilled & excited. Spring is here! People who love vintage have found me on Facebook-over 2000 of them! The shop has hundreds of fans and we are always featured in treasuries. For a little shop that is still less than 1 year old, this is fantastic! (I started really selling on Etsy instead of just buying late last June, 2010)

Vintage Cut Crystal Necklace & Bracelet Set

So I'm having a celebration sale. 20% off in the shop & 1/2 price shipping anywhere in the world.

Vintage Enameled Butterfly Pin Set

This does require a coupon code: FacebookCelebration. For the 1/2 price shipping, I'll refund you the 1/2. (Can't use 2 coupons at once yet)

Vintage California Pottery Dish

I really appreciate all the support we've had these past 11 months! We love vintage, we can't wait for new estates and we enjoy offering it all to you.

Thanks for making Nachokitty a success!

Where is Everyone?

I've been working round the clock lately to get things up and listed. Estates have been coming in like hotcakes and the wonderful women that help me list have been in hyper drive. Great items too-some hard to find antiques, some cool mid century & and of course, our foray into vintage fashion.

With all this work I was expecting results. I mean, it feels good to list items, get the shop organized and have business coming out of my ears. Those are great results. But I was expecting customers.

What's happened? Is it Spring? Is everyone outside all of a sudden, Etsy long forgotten? Is it the sad reality facing people around the world with wars and disasters? Are we not blogging enough? Not Facebooking enough? Or is it something I haven't really considered, like pricing or quality of items?

Are you buying vintage now? If you're not, why not? I have to admit, I'm not really buying much now. I'm more into purging and cleaning up than adding things. Plus I've just been spending my time finding items, working with estates and growing the business. Add in caring for the Baby, keeping up with my 6 & 8 year old daughters & trying to find time to sleep and you'll see why I'm not lounging around browsing the web.

Friday I took the day off and went out hunting for treasure. Found a bunch of great items. Tonight I'm working on getting them online.

While it's tough not to see business booming, it's still a great job. I love being surrounded by all these beautiful things.
