Lover of all things vintage! Combing over yard sales, flea markets, thrift stores, consignment shops and streets. I find the unthinkable and have created a little business on the side. Let me know if you are looking for something! It will probably cross my path!

Baccarat Crystal E. Remy Martin Decanter 1950's Bought $2 Sold~$111
BACCARAT CRYSTAL E. REMY MARTIN COGNAC LOUIS XIII DECANTER
(FRANCE / CIRCA 1950'S TO 1960'S)
This is gorgeous! I found this at a yardsale for $2 and I sold it twice. The first time I sold it the man said he only wanted the stopper. So I sold the stopper for $58. Then I reposted the bottle without the stopper and I scored another sale of $53. This was an awesome double sale. Wow! That is one of my best deals!
A little history:
Remy Martin began in 1724 in France every year they create limited edition cognac individually numbered from 1 to 786 in Baccarat dark crystal decanters. These can go up to $44,000 + Crazy!

Vintage 1960's Hospital Newborn Scale Paid $5 ~Sold $43.00
Vintage Blue 1960's 30 Pound Nursery Baby Scale: Very unique vintage nursery baby scale. Lovely patina through out. Originally used in hospitals to weigh newborns. The main body of the scale is a "retro-white" with a baby blue and white face. The needle of the scale is baby blue. Pictured on the face are two babies playing with a ball and a picture of a dog, duck, and elephant. Written on the face are the words "Weighs in Pounds by Ounces."
So retro I just loved finding this jewel.

Orange Carved Bakelite Bracelet Bought $15 Sold ~$29
Another beautiful bakelite bracelet in a subtle transluecent orange heavily carved. The carving is of flowers and leaves and the bracelet is heavy to the hand yet light on the wrist and makes a unique clanking bakelite sound when paired with another bakelite bracelet. This is a one of a kind beauty!
