For so many normal reasons as most all do but this time of year is extra special to me.<br />
<br />
Years ago I knew it was the last one with my Father and it was.<br />
The Season since means I relish every sound, smell and beauty of it all.<br />
<br />
Presents are important but the rush, rush perfection is not. To enjoy all the love of family and friends is truly pure gold. Love with loved ones.<br />
<br />
The greatest gift is Love and God is Love.<br />
<br />
The birth of Jesus Christ is celebrated by the World in manifested ways.<br />
<br />
Every joy and every ounce of the Season is His and the reason to rejoice.<br />
<br />
Go Tell It On the Mountain that Jesus Christ is born!<br />
<br />
Merry Christmas from me to you and yours. May it be a precious beautiful time with those you love and adore.<br />

<br />
I now have over 668 items on Bonanza Marketplace and adding daily. My goal is to have 1000 items by December 1st.<br />
Every category imaginable. Vintage, Antique, New items, Collectibles, Home Decor and much more.<br />
<br />
Thought way less traffic of other venues I have been on in the past I no longer feel jerked around and can concentrate on adding my treasures to build my booth.<br />
<br />
I have opened also on Ebay for now a shop. This way I can basically send items back and forth from Bonanza to Ebay. No item will be left in my Ebay shop from Bonanza more than 3 months and most no more than 30 days. Why I am trying to build my shop on Bonanza.<br />

I so love Fall or Autumn colors. It always means respite from hot Summer days.<br />
<br />
I have added many items to my new Bonanza shop <a href="https://www.bonanza.com/booths/GracefulVintageNow" target="_blank">GRACEFULVINTAGENOW</a><br />
<br />
Currently have 550 items but adding more daily.Graceful Antiques and Vintage Collectibleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10451982600343500865noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30500346.post-65168875633301382142019-06-13T09:16:00.002-07:002019-08-08T12:47:16.026-07:00Another Egg BasketAnother Egg Basket.<br />

I know keeping up with all the changes with my shop is daunting at best.<br />
<br />
I am sorry about all of the changes.<br />
<br />
Decided I am going to simplify my life of selling online.<br />
<br />
At least till the year end Holiday Season.<br />
<br />
So I am moving all my items off of one venue and combining most items to another venue.<br />
<br />
So if you are looking for my Vintage items as well as new items I will be found here:<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.bonanza.com/users/19303892/profile" target="_blank">GracefulVintageNow on Bonanza Marketplace</a><br />
<br />
on this venue or always hopefully on my Facebook page.<br />
<br />
You can easily comment on the convo box on that venue or comment on my FB page.<br />
<br />
This is the link to my FB page.<br />

<br />
Time and Season is everything. It is starting to be Summer in Arkansas.<br />
<br />
Different flowers and different vegetables growing in the garden.<br />
<br />
I am an avid gardener.<br />
<br />
One can learn much about life gardening.<br />
<br />
Helping plants to make them strong.<br />
<br />
Pinching suckers off of tomatoes, dividing roots to make more plants etc.<br />
<br />
Isn't that life at times.<br />
<br />
We have to force ourselves to do hard things and make hard decisions.<br />
<br />
Cutting off dead limbs with no growth on our plants and in our lives.<br />
<br />
Will only create new life and a future of possibilities.<br />
<br />
This is where I am in my business life.<br />
<br />
I look forward with great expectations but also trepidation.<br />
<br />
I am a Christian and God gave me my business and gave me the talents and the knowledge to make a successful one since 1996.<br />
<br />
It worked for me and met my needs.<br />
<br />
I truly adore past treasures and feeling I have a hand in saving a small part of History.<br />
<br />
Due to constant changes on the internet out of my control I never really got to fully show the best of my finds.<br />
<br />
Maybe I will peek off and on and dabble here and then different times but overall open doors and open windows are awaiting.<br />

<br />Graceful Antiques and Vintage Collectibleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10451982600343500865noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30500346.post-82520748442338192302019-05-15T09:10:00.002-07:002019-05-15T09:12:33.907-07:00Antiques of the Past for the FutureI love Antiques and I especially love the research of them.<br />
<br />
Selling since 1996 I have learned a great deal about my inventory.<br />
<br />
Through the venues of course I have sold on but also years of research in books and online.<br />
<br />
I always am so intrigued any object last 100 years or more. How I always wonder.<br />
<br />
Through moves and children and weather conditions. I find it all truly amazing.<br />
<br />
Once upon Antique porcelain and such that had broken was even stapled together to repair.<br />
<br />
I even find that fascinating. All about the respect of the past and those items that people cherished.<br />
<br />
It was not at all like today with mass consumerism. Most stuff now is not made to last long really.<br />
<br />
I find that very interesting as well.<br />
<br />
The younger ones seem to be alarmed most about climate change and pollution and such.<br />
The whole time they buy everything brand new and seemingly demand bulk cheaper items.<br />
<br />
Not all of course and I do not really fault them as they do not have the experience of real quality items and how it used to be.<br />
<br />
Once upon a time it was about the craftsmanship and quality and not quantity. Quantity sells more of course. That drives the market.<br />
<br />
One can sell one of a kind or Antique or crank out mass amount of bulk items.<br />
I understand this of course.<br />
<br />
Perhaps it will be reversed and the true knowledge of History and the beauty of Antiques will be desired again.<br />
<br />
I once asked a young dealer about this and about the repurposing trend.<br />
<br />
Their answer was oh phooey. We will never run out of old stuff. I disagree completely.<br />
<br />
If something is beyond repair I get it. I really do and love seeing what can be made out of these items.<br />
<br />
Knowing names of Antiques and History is not passe but not as mainstream as once upon a time IMHO.<br />
<br />
I learned from old time Antique dealers and it was ALL about the name.<br />
<br />
Paragon, Limoges, Coalport etc.<br />
<br />
I loved these old time sellers and I soaked it all in and again was fascinated.<br />
<br />
I set out on missions to find these fascinating items they spoke of. I still do but would love if the younger ones would be as fascinated as I was and am still.<br />

This is my logo for my business. I have had 3 different logos for the side of my business that is Graceful Antiques and Vintage Collectibles or GracefulAntiquesVtg.<br />
<br />
I have another logo for my Vintage Clothing shop.<br />
<br />
I am very excited as I am getting a metal sign made for my little booth in the real World.<br />
<br />
Starting in 1996 I have been in several Antique malls in the real World and have also done shows in Texas and in Arkansas.<br />
<br />
Selling online is much different and changes constantly then selling in real World settings.<br />
<br />
Both have pros and cons.<br />
<br />
A wider audience of course on the web but keeping up with tech is daunting at times.<br />
<br />
Figuring out what sells on each is also a trial and error. What sells online is different at times then in a certain locality.<br />
<br />
What makes it interesting. I love vintage so very much and love the history of Antiques and Vintage.<br />
<br />
So back to my beginning of this story here I will be changing out frequently on both online and brick and mortar.<br />
<br />
My vintage treasures can be found online <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/gracefulantiquesvtg" target="_blank">GracefulAntiquesVtg</a><br />
<br />
Now they can be found also in real World in Greenwood, Arkansas.<br />
<br />
On Main Street at the RagsnRoses Collective.<br />
<br />
A wide variety will be added and changed often is the plan.<br />
<br />
Highlighting different Seasons and groupings of Vintage. Currently it is Easter and Spring items.<br />
<br />
Come check out my booth at:<br />

We have snow here in Arkansas today and much of the country as well.<br />
Do not forget to feed the little birds. They will love you for it.<br />

I feed them year round and for that effort get such beauty and delight.<br />
<br />
The birds help with the garden and we also have Hawks that come from time to time to get rid of any critters that one does not want in the yard.<br />

Hello all you lovers of Vintage and Antiques.<br />
<br />
The best way to stay up to date on my shops is from my Facebook business pages.<br />
<br />
I am currently doing sales taxes for the year and have added a Valentines Day category to my shop.<br />
<br />
Other items will also fit the bill for those you love as I have a wide array of items to choose from.<br />
<br />
Stay warm.<br />

<br />
Most all want to set a pretty table for the Holidays.<br />
<br />
Many use dishes passed down from past loved ones.<br />
<br />
Many have a special bowl or platter that makes them remember that person and memories.<br />
<br />
Over the years it has brought me much joy to hear the stories.<br />
<br />
Sometimes during the festivities something will be broken.<br />
<br />
That is where I come in with the treasures I have gathered.<br />
<br />
Sugar bowl? Creamer? Special mug or glass? Replacements are something I love to do as I know how important these treasures can be.<br />
<br />
Here are some #Vintage and #Antique pieces you just may be searching for to complete a set or replace what has been broken or lost.<br />
<br />

<br />
Not too cold and not too hot. I flat just can think clearer when it is not terribly hot.<br />
<br />
I have 3 shops currently online but today I am going to highlight my main one.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.gracefulantiquesvtg.com/">Graceful Antiques and Vintage Collectibles</a><br />
<br />
I have gathered #Vintage and #Antique items for years and years.<br />
<br />
I started collecting at an early age.<br />
<br />
Currently I am fascinated with Vintage items once made in the USA.<br />
<br />
So I am trying to tags these as such in my shop and have started a team also.<br />
<br />
#VtgUSATeam is the hashtag for this and slowly building. Would love some help with this.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
If the vintage item was #MadeinUSA I am trying to highlight it and the History of the Company.<br />
<br />
Many have long gone and many recently went away. Some are still in business.<br />

<br />
I just so happened to forget it was back to School tax free weekend.<br />
<br />
Selling vintage and Antiques I tend to live in my own vintage World.<br />
<br />
So many people everywhere.<br />
<br />
I hurriedly grabbed and left the mass of humans.<br />
<br />
It did make me start thinking of School and Fall and remembering.<br />
<br />
I still get a bit jealous I cannot go to School. The nostalgia of it of course.<br />
<br />
I did though love reading and learning and still do. One never knows all about vintage.<br />
<br />
Each time I find a new treasure I have to go on a hunt for just what is this thing?<br />
<br />
I now have 3 different shops online and think I will leave it like this till at least the New Year.<br />
<br />
I gear up all year but especially during the Summer to find great stuff to put on for the Holidays.<br />
<br />
My main shop is at venue Etsy and it is GracefulAntiquesVtg<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.gracefulantiquesvtg.com/">Graceful Antiques and Vintage Collectibles</a><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6bftAjFpS5o/W2oVKMZIhAI/AAAAAAAABa8/kzIG-np2Owo_H138ZG9xonqMXjeiWZ77wCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_9534.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1230" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6bftAjFpS5o/W2oVKMZIhAI/AAAAAAAABa8/kzIG-np2Owo_H138ZG9xonqMXjeiWZ77wCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_9534.jpg" width="246" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
I then have a vintage clothing shop on venue Etsy.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-whwoxXbb6AU/W2oVpXt9q_I/AAAAAAAABbE/EdTNYi5umtMjSDKBQ_Ck-YI2BCTZ7ZwNgCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_7876.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="895" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-whwoxXbb6AU/W2oVpXt9q_I/AAAAAAAABbE/EdTNYi5umtMjSDKBQ_Ck-YI2BCTZ7ZwNgCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_7876.jpg" width="179" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
It is GracefulVtgClothing. I have vintage clothing, vintage jewelry and accessories and vintage sewing and supplies.<br />

My Mother in all her beauty. Playing the ukulele and as a War Bride. <div>
Me sitting on her lap with my lollipop. </div>
<div>
I miss her and owe my entire business to her. </div>
<div>
She loved beautiful things and was a genius with shabby chic before it was even a thing. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I am currently making room for more inventory but have many lovely items that would be great for Mom on both my shops. Happy Mothers Day everyone! </div>

Spring. I love Springtime and all the lovely flowers.<br />
<br />
A few are budding now here in Arkansas.<br />

I have Hyacinths and all the Pear trees have white flowers on them.<br />

Florals seem to be everywhere and on everything.<br />

<span class="text Luke-2-14" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box;">Each year it is Christmas I try to arrive at. </span></div>

<span class="text Luke-2-14" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box;">I always feel if I can make it to that time of year I will somehow be okay. </span></div>

<span class="text Luke-2-14" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box;">It all started to be so significant when my Father became ill many years ago. </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;">

<span class="text Luke-2-14" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box;">Since then every smell, sound is somehow extra special at Christmas. </span></div>

<span class="text Luke-2-14" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box;">Each year I also note the starting of the Christmas Season when I hear the beautiful song </span></div>

<span class="text Luke-2-14" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box;">That also started because of love for a family member. </span></div>

<span class="text Luke-2-14" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box;">I flat cannot believe it is near the end of the year. </span></div>

It is nearing the end of August of 2017.<br />
<br />
Most of the children are headed back to School already.<br />
<br />
I am trying to decide how to go forward with my shops.<br />
<br />
The last few years have been completely an overhaul of most all business online.<br />
<br />
I thought for a bit it was just me. Now I know it is absolutely not.<br />
<br />
I try to use my instincts in all of this and until last few years it worked well.<br />
<br />
Now it is as mysterious as the Solar Eclipse we had yesterday.<br />
<br />
It should be very simple.<br />
<br />
I have wandered far and wide to gather Vintage and Antique treasures.<br />
<br />
Some I shall most likely never part with.<br />
<br />
Others I get great satisfaction restoring them by cleaning and bringing them back to life as best as possible. All done without changing the integrity of a piece.<br />
<br />
Since 1996 I have been a seller of Vintage.<br />
<br />
Some days I would do it all again twice.<br />
<br />
Other days it is like, "What were you thinking?"<br />
<br />
It is never the stuff.<br />
<br />
It is always the changes constantly that these venues I try to sell on decide is fine to throw at the dealers.<br />
<br />
Like most everything this makes it 1000 percent harder than something that once again should be very simple.<br />
<br />
A perpetual thought process of oh ok, maybe they are done tinkering now.<br />
<br />
Then it is nope are they kidding?<br />
<br />
Not even sure at this point they understand what they are doing.<br />
<br />
Playing around with code to just play around with code?<br />
<br />
Sharing the wealth for the new sellers. One can not even make this stuff up or I sure cannot.<br />
<br />
So I am going to plug along for a bit longer. Playing around with shipping cost also so bear with me on this please. I make no money on shipping. I also refund any difference over $2.00.<br />
<br />
<br />
Vintage Clothing shop on Etsy called GracefulVtgClothing<br />
<br />
<br />
Honestly I do not know what else to do.<br />
<br />
I believe about 3 out of every 5 sellers that sell Vintage currently are in my same position.<br />
<br />
Thanks for listening to my current status selling Vintage.<br />
<br />
My shop for Vintage Clothing, Sewing and some Jewelry is also still on Etsy.<br />
