Favorite Places to Shop No.1

Hi everyone, hope you all had a wonderful weekend.


Just wanted to share with you some of my new vintage goodies.
The French enamel canisters and re-striped grain sacks both came from Etsy.
Etsy is one of my favorite places to shop online. When I'm looking for something in particular, I almost always find it on Etsy, especially things from France. At times, the prices can be a bit high due to the shipping, but many of the shops have reserve and special payment plan options which helps.




I saw these gorgeous 1920's enamel canisters and just fell in love with the color, and they are in lovely condition for their age. I purchased these from a fantastic shop called "Vintage French Linens". The shop owners are from France and so wonderful. I know you'll love their beautiful treasures.


These grain sacks are truly beautiful. They are huge and made of super thick fabric. And they are in perfect condition.



The shop "Grain Sack" on Etsy, is the only place that I can ever find grain sacks for a decent price and in such great condition. They never disappoint.

Well, that's all for tonight. I'll share more shops with you soon.

Hope you all have a great week.
Sincerely,
Melinda
