Since we began our big move, my etsy shop has been set to vacation mode. With an iffy internet connection and merchandise in a storage room in Canada, the grand re-opening of Mary Frances -vintage things - was delayed for longer than I had hoped. Now that I have all of those details ironed out, I am open for business once again.
Occasionally, I will be posting tidbits of information about my shop. If you are tuning in because you are a close friend or a family member you will likely be alright with these new posts. If not, well, we need to rethink our friendship, or our errrr, family-ship. If you tune in because you are interested in Alaska, you will learn that some people in Alaska sell things on etsy.com and want to sell more things on etsy.com. Ok? Alright.
I love my etsy store. It is a place where I can combine my love for treasure hunting, photography, and writing. I have finally found my place in this grown up life. Being a mom and an etsy store owner suits me well.
Mary Frances was my grandmother whom I referred to as Nanny. I am often reminded of her when I am treasure hunting. Nanny was always looking for something to marvel over and delighted in finding the simplest things. Whether she found an acorn, fool's gold, or a shiny penny in a parking lot, she exhibited a childlike enthusiasm that was contagious. Nanny was resourcefully creative. Her creativity stemmed from necessity but flourished because of love. She fueled my imagination with her own. Nanny was the most fun grown up I have ever known. She entertained, cared for, and encouraged all of her grandchildren but somehow made me feel like I was the only one.
I miss her like nobody's business. I see her in me and want others to see her too.
If there is someone you cherish from your past, maybe some of my old treasures will take you back to that time.

Your store is awesome! (As soon as I saw "vintage" I was giddy) I will certainlly keep my eye out for anything I want or need. (I'm a size 5 womens in shoes and sometimes a size 3 in kids, so shoes will be tricky, lol)
ReplyDeleteDo you make or sell jewlery? I adore vintage earrings. :) I'll friend your store on twitter and facebook as well. Good luck! I'll be sure to spread the word!
Thanks Katie! I have seen your size in a few vintage shoes but not often. I will keep an eye out. No I don't make any jewelry to sell, but as I find things I will them to the store, so keep checking! Thanks for spreading the word!

ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful tribute to my mother Hayley. You do remind me of her so much. She would love to have seen how much you thought of her and how she affected your life. She would have loved to see this blog, these pictures, our baby and more than anything to know that your are living out your dreams. Love you.
ReplyDeleteGood to see you will be getting your store back up & running - I know it means a lot to you. I guess you are going to have to find a shoe model up there:-)
ReplyDeleteI miss Nanny, too. She was a great inspiration, and I love her so much... The store looks good, sista. I guess you are going to have to buy some indoor lighting for the months nobody wants to model I mean go outside.
ReplyDeleteYes Phyllis. I need a new everything model. I've been thinking about that. And yes Sunny, I have been thinking about lighting and weather issues as well. You know I can't stand a flash and don't have the equipment for indoor shoots.
