Giving Vintage Glass Jars Stuffed With Cookies or Candy is a Great Eco-Friendly Holiday Gift

Learning From Depression Era Folks

I never thought I would say it, but I like using vintage glass bowls, jars and refrigerator dishes for food storage (I'm a recovering plastic addict) . Dear me, I'm, sounding like my in-laws, who love saving jars and re-using them. In fact, my mother-in-law opened up a can of Rokeach Gefilte Fish* and stored away the extra pieces in an old empty jar of Gefilte Fish* she had saved for years.

Re-Cycling is Trendy

By now you are catching on, that my husband's mom is a child of the Depression Era and "saving' is in her genes. During the war effort, families were encouraged to conserve, mend and salvage what they had. If you think "re-cycling" is a new trend....it is an old custom which has gained new interest.

Glass Jars are Popular Kitchen Collectibles That Make Great Gifts

So I have been thinking about all the kitchen collectibles I sell in my shop, "Kitsch N Stuff" and thought that one neat idea would be to pack holiday cookies in vintage glass storage jars and give as lovely holiday gifts to friends and family.

I am not talking about packing cookies into old Gefilte Fish jars, but rather looking for some very charming glass jars that might have been used in a 1940s home or earlier in an old country store, old drug store or candy shoppe. Apothecary jars, pickle jars, candy jars, condiment jars are out there if you start looking.

What Kind of Jars To Look For

Often these jars have colorful vintage paper advertising labels, pretty decals or attached handles which add to their appeal. Old Hoosier jars (stored coffee, tea etc.) are also interesting.

For smooth surface glass jars, you can add an original vintage decals which are easy to find (check out Etsy.com) .

While some of these larger jars can fetch $25.00-$45.00, you still clan find perfectly wonderful glass jars at a full range of affordable prices. Mason jars are very plentiful and the ordinary ones are a thrifty alternative to older and larger jars. You have to look....try flea markets, on-line auctions and stores, live auctions and collectibles shops.

Cleaning Old Jars

While it is a little tricky to clean a glass jar with a paper label, it can be done with care. A solution of diluted vinegar, a bottle brush and lots of rinsing with mild soap can usually do it. Some people use a mixture of Baking Soda and water. If you are nervous about washing jars with labels, buy jars without labels (they are usually less money).

My friend reminded me that the dish washer does a great job for glass jars without labels. But need I say, wash the jar lids by hand and dry them quickly.

Postscript:

What is Gefilte Fish? Chopped fish, usually a mixture of white fish, pike, and carp, mixed with minced onion, egg, and seasoning, and boiled; ordinarily served cold.

Collecting Vintage Litho Tin Doll Houses

Playing With Vintage Plastic Doll Furniture

I got lost in Linda's booth at The Collinsville Antiques Company of New Hartford, CT playing with the doll furniture in the 1950's tin doll house she had on display. I may even go back tomorrow and buy this wonderful tin litho doll house.

Styles of Doll Houses

Litho doll houses were especially popular during the late 1940, 1950s and into the 1960s accompanied by plastic doll furnishings and accessories.

Companies like Marx, Ohio Art, Wolverine etc. specialized in tin toys. Houses resembled the homes of the era, ranches, split levels and the traditional colonial.

Doll houses of the 1940s were made of cardboard, fibre-board with paper covering resembling shingles, brick and clapboard. Wood furniture was common until the 50's when plastic was the new material being used.
The first Marx Colonial Style doll house came out in 1949. In 1957, a six room doll house sold for $3.79. It was a six room house with a Living-dining combination, kitchen, nursery, bedroom, bathroom, utility room, and sundeck. http://www.mckendry.net/DOLLHOUSES/1950s.htm

Doll Houses Come in All Sizes and Prices

On the average you can find typical vintage tin doll houses for about $45.00- 65.00 with or without furniture. There are also plenty of tin doll houses on Craigslist and other on-line sites which are selling for $25.00. Look around before you buy. Sometimes the seller has accumulated a bag of hard plastic furniture which is more valuable than the dollhouse itself. In fact today a lot of dealers sell the plastic furniture (and dolls) separately and usually ask at least $5.00 and more per piece (common items). The dollhouse family is hard to find and when they do show up they are pricey.

Litho Mansions

When I was writing my second book, one of my photo contributors sent along some pictures of some very fancy and hard to find Marx Toy Company Litho houses that were priced at $200-300. I was in disbelief until I checked around and learned that some of these houses can really get up there in price. Marx doll houses are very popular and were featured in the Montgomery Ward catalogs.

Tips About Buying Doll Houses and Plastic Furniture

When buying these baby boomer favorites, check to see that the windows and doors are intact. Also look for warped pieces, dents, scratches and rust.









Need I say that when you buy one of these tin doll houses you can't be sure you are buying one with the original furniture. Often sellers collect odds and ends and put "sets" together. Companies that made hard plastic doll furniture were Marx, Ideal, Plasco and Renewal. Furniture was made to look like the grown-up styles of the 50's.

Saving a "Lot" of Plastic Doll Furniture

Right now I have a huge bag of plastic doll furniture sitting in my basement. I have saved this bag of furniture for decades. I can remember telling my daughters (now adults) that they needed to be very careful with this doll furniture because these toys were actually "collectibles". Now I don't have the heart to sell them (the furniture, not the daughters).

Little Girls Dreams

Like my children, I loved playing house and arranging the miniature furnishing in the big tin doll house. As a child growing up in a very small apartment, I dreamed of someday living in a dream house just like the one I played with. I hoped for lots of bedrooms, a cute baby nursery, a fireplace in the living room, a couple of bathrooms and a patio with lounge chairs etc.

Now I am dreaming of a condo near the beach and a doll house to play with!

How To Get More Display Space in Your Antique Mall or Collectibles Shop

We All Need More Space

For many of us who rent space in an antique mall or multi-dealer shop, floor space is at a premium and we all pay dearly to sell our antiques and collectibles. Even solo shop owners find that they simply run out of display space very quickly.

How To Get More Space in Your Antique Mall

There are several very clever solutions to help you maximize the area you have to sell your stuff!

Clever Dealers at Antiques on the Farmington, Collinsville, CT

While out shopping today at Antiques on the Farmington (located in Collinsville, CT) I came across several very innovative dealers who managed to use every inch of what they got!



I was delighted to find some really great solutions to the space dilemma. here are some ideas you might find helpful.

Tips For Antique Dealers Who Want More Display Space in Their Booths or Shops

1. Put lattice across a window and gain hanging space.

2. Hang items from the ceiling directly or create a bar to hang items from.

3. Put a partial wall of lattice between two booths.

4. Use old doors to create a wall in your booth.

5. Cover an existing wall with lattice.

6. Add glass shelves in front of a window to display bottles or glassware.

Junk Shopping at Canton, Connecticut's "Junk Shop"

Introducing "Junk Shop"

I must be in a "junk shopping" mood. Even with a morning snow creating mushy and icy roads, I still was out hunting in some of my favorite cluttered "junk boutiques.

A Junk Boutique

Yes, I am aware that I used the term "boutique". Hardly a term to pair with the word "junk. But obsessed collectors do indeed classify their junk shops into "below par", "usual bric-a-brac", "hit or miss" and "boutique". My definition of a boutique junk shop means that the owner could have called his or her shoppe "an antique and collectible's store" , but chose to go in the other direction and re-classify perfectly good finds as "junk".

Bargain Hunters Like Simple Surroundings


This to me is really a very clever marketing strategy. It's like shopping at those big box places that are housed in warehouse buildings with exposed pipes, ceilings and concrete floors. The customer is convinced that since there are minimal furnishings and decor, that surely the place offers bargains.

Shabby, Charming and Loaded With Stuff

Well this is what Eric, who owns "Junk Shop" on Route 44 in Canton, CT. is essentially doing. He owns an old building which some might refer to as bordering on charming but I would tell you to think of it as a dwelling that is "architecturally challenged". But if you can get past the ills of an aging building you will find a goldmine inside. .Eric is basically selling very terrific junk which others might call antiques and collectibles in another setting.

One Man's Trash is Another Man's Treasures

Don't get me wrong...Eric also carries "junk", but remember the saying "one man's trash is another man's treasures"! Eric has plenty of pottery, lighting, toys, chairs, architectural salvage, ephemera, kitchenwares, figurines, glassware, hardware, boxes, tables, shelves, tins, planters, artwork, decor and more.

His prices are fair and if you don't hassle him he usually offers discounts to "frequent junkers" (repeat customers).

Painting Several Pieces of Older Furniture "Aqua" to Create a Charming Baby Nursery or Children's Corner in Your Shop

Painting Your Vintage Furniture "Aqua"

What can you do with the color aqua? Well you can do what my friend Laura did in her shop The Bleu Willow in Simsbury, CT. She created a cottage-y feel in her Vintage Nursery and Junior section by painting several pieces of shabby furniture the color "aqua". As you can imagine, this soft pastel color is charming!

Color Organizes Rooms

By sticking with the same color for a variety of furnishings you will instantly organize your room. Laura has done just that...transforming one corner of her shoppe into a sweet flea market inspired ensemble instead of a mish mosh of unwanted hand me downs. While Laura's "aqua" groupings serve to showcase her baby items, you can certainly accomplish this delicious cottage look at home as well. This is a very practical and affordable decorating trick.

Aqua is an Easy Color to Live With

Aqua is a an easy color to live with and goes wonderfully with yellows, pinks, neutrals, whites, reds and more. Consider putting together an aqua themed room by painting older tables, dressers, hampers, armoires, desks etc. in the same color . Add some charming vintage prints of children on the walls with a touch of aqua as well.

Utilizing Every Space Available

The Bleu Willow is a small shop that is packed with a combination of antiques, collectibles and vintage style accessories, jewelry and furnishings. You will find that every space is this store is utilized. The drawers of cabinets and dressers are stuffed with goodies which are easily visible.

Laura also likes to create interesting "stacks" of treasures, using vintage boxes, books, containers etc. for propping up or containing small items.

Creating Decorative Window Displays Using Colorful Vintage Glassware, Collectibles and Stained Glass

Introducing Coffee Trade Antiques

Windows in any antique or vintage shop are important features which need to be carefully included in the overall look and feel of your store. At The Coffee Trade Antiques in Avon, CT. owner Joan, uses her windows as if they were blank canvases and she was the artist deciding what to "paint" on her picture.

Vintage Vignettes

She uses the light and architectural elements of her rectangular windows to serve as interesting backdrops for the vintage vignettes she sets up in front of the window. Standing lights are also positioned in key spots to provide additional light when the natural light is fading. Lovely warm orange-pink tones are cast on objects by using a colored lamp shade.

Highlighting Geometric Shapes

If you look at the photos shown, you will see that
interesting geometric shapes are formed by the windows themselves, the objects in front of them and the shelf openings.

Not only are customers invited to look at her window displays from the outside, these planned window treatments interest customers who are strolling throughout her shop.

Colorful Glassware and Stained Glass

Joan likes to use colored glass in front of her windows. Sometimes the colors come from vintage stained glass windows she sets in front of her windows and other times she strategically places colored vintage glassware on a partitioned shelf in front of the window. In other words she creates clever window shelves using a free standing shelf unit sitting atop a piece of furniture or table top. (see top photo).

"Designed To Order": A Floral Designer Inspired By Antique Feather Christmas Trees

Introducing "Designed To Order" A Magical Floral Designer

Today I visited Donna at "Designed To Order" a spectacular floral designer who took me around her magical shoppe on Main Street in Manchester, CT. While Donna produces both contemporary and traditional arrangements she is often inspired by vintage looks.

Antique Feather Trees

Her colorful, dazzling store has many Feather Trees and arrangements embellished with feathers, berries and ornaments reminiscent of an antique Christmas.
Just like the original Feather Christmas Trees, Donna creates sparkling trees in colors of white, red, silver, blue, gold, lavender etc.

The Golden Glow Collector Club
According to the website "The Golden Glow", a club for collectors of antique Christmas
items the Feather Tree was America's first introduction to artificial trees.

Dime Store Imports

Sold in dime stores during the 1920s and 30's, The Feather Tree was developed in Germany and brought to America by German immigrants in the late 1800's.

"These trees were made of dyed goose and turkey feathers which were attached to wires which became the branches for the first artificial trees. Both round and square wooden bases were used. These bases replicated the wooden buckets that were used for bases of live evergreen trees in Germany.

Some trees had composition berries on the tips while others had holders for candles.

Feather Trees Came in Lots of Colors

The trees came in various colors: white, green, blue, light green, and gold. The importing of these trees stopped during WWII. Following the war, some trees were reintroduced to the American market but by that time Americans had already started producing their own version of the artificial tree, the "visca tree."

A Return of Feather Trees in the 1980's

It wasn't until the 1980s that "feather trees" were reintroduced to the American market. This time the trees were being produced by American craftsmen." http://www.goldenglow.org/antique-feather-trees.htm

Using Vintage and Antique Vases, Planters , Art Glass for Bases

At "Designed To Order" you will find beautiful trees and arrangements with very fair prices.
Many clients bring in antique and vintage planters, baskets, tins or art glass and Donna makes works of floral art using the customer's unique bases and containers. She also has plenty of prepared arrangements as well as lots of gorgeous bases in ceramic, glass etc. Donna uses both silk and fresh flowers.

To Sort Or Not to Sort: How Junk Collectors Organize Their Stuff

Maintaining Collections

You know you have been accumulating odds and ends way too long when you have so many items in the same category that you have developed "collections" which you "organize" and maintain regularly.

Sorting Your Stuff

I have many friends in the business who have become "experts" at sorting their stuff. Let's face it, it does make life much easier to walk into your shop (or basement) and know that you have a box just for door knobs or a barrel for yardsticks.

Order Versus Chaos in the Collectibles Business

Why is it that some shop owners get buried under their "collectibles" while others seem to convert their shops into Five and Dimes with "aisles" and "departments". If you are an obsessed collector like me, you have been to both the real "junky" shops as well as the great orderly "junk" stores. I frankly enjoy both. Good junk can be found in piles, boxes, porches etc. It really doesn't reflect on the caliber of the junk whether it is alphabetized or thrown in a bucket.

Hunting For Treasures

In fact to be honest with you, I like shops that I can go hunting in. I always have the secret feeling that I just might discover something fabulous when i am poking around in layers of vintage treasures. And let's be totally honest, don't we feel a little paranoid when we see things too orderly. It's as if we say to ourselves.....if the fella took the time to clean and sort this stuff, than we are probably going to get hit with a higher price.

on the other hand when we poke through cob webs and pull out a gem, we say to ourselves....we're not going to pay too much...after all we need to deduct something for cobwebs and dust!
