The NorthWesternBelle

Two Etsy sales and one eBay sale (plus a bid on an auction that ends next week) is a record for this part-time crafter! It's probably not very much to be excited about, but hey, just let me have this moment, okay? Thanks :) On Saturday I woke up to an order for vintage buttons. Last night, possibly the most gorgeous vintage afghan in my inventory was snatched up by a lucky Etsy shopper. If every week were like this week I'd really be okay with it! Hopefully now that we're headed into the colder months I'll be selling more of these vintage beauties on the regular. It also tells me that my prices are finally in the range that they should be. It only took me about six months to figure THAT out. It's an ongoing struggle, obviously, seeing as I'm still trying to sell something I made myself. I think that I've got some Halloween things coming soon that will bridge that gap. Thanks for looking, Loves! Always Yours, The NWB

Did I mention I love my ArtRage drawing app? Get 25% off all vintage afghans on Etsy now through June 30, 2014 using the coupon code above! The prices on most items have been drastically reduced for quick sale! Mostly, I want to get them out of inventory so that I can start buying more LOL Take a look at the entire selection by clicking on the "Vintage Crochet Afghans" tab above. You can also find most of them up for auction on eBay for the next week. When I go hunting for vintage crochet items, I only select pieces that are well finished and in excellent condition. All of the ones currently available are clean with no tears, holes, rips or pulls, and all loose ends are sewn in (either originally or by me when necessary). Little to no pilling, and all are machine washable. To think of the hours spent by the anonymous hooker on each is mind boggling. It's actually kind of difficult for me to part with some of them; the seafoam green chevron afghan with tassels...
