etsy finds....

I really wanted to start this post about something really neat I bought from etsy, but since it is a gift for my mother on Mother's Day.. I should save that for another post.

So with that said - I am just going to feature some of my favorite items on etsy today.

I love this Moleskin Journal from girls can tell





Another current fav is this file box from SallyBean. I have been drooling over it for quite a while now.

One of the best ways to go green - It to buy Vintage. Etsy is one of the best places to buy Vintage on the web. Vintage Sellers have a huge selection of all kinds of vintage goodies.

best thing ever this week

Do any of you use FireFox? Well it is all I use - and I love it. I even have a fun theme on mine that I love because it is so fun.

PimpZilla: Very Good Bad Taste. I have been using it for about 3 years.. and do not plan to switch.

Check out some of the screen shots::


See what I mean?

Anyway the point of this post is to tell you about my new favorite FireFox Add-on - Clippings!

Clippings lets you save your frequently entered text to insert into any website.. The perfect place to use this is my etsy shop listings. See at the end of every listing I type in something about questions and Thank you.

This gets old after a couple of listings, but with Clippings all you have to do is type it one time and then BAM - you can insert that anywhere..

For example - In Firefox I can just right click where I am typing ( here for example) and choose Clippings>Etsy Listings and Voila - I have this::

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you.

xoxo
Sarah Jane & Bentley Vintage

Not in pink of course.
Clippings is the best thing evah.

Vintage is green...

I love green ...

I snagged a treasury today -

orchid...

I have been meaning to share this beautiful orchid that my boyfriend gave me for Valentine's day. It is so pretty and exotic - and 1000 times better than roses that die within a week.

Is it gorgeous?

once upon a time...

I love old pictures - They just seem to tell a story. Just by looking at them you can imagine so many different things..

Here are some vintage and antique photographs that I have listed in my etsy shop( I still have more to list too). Just click the pics for larger images.


This lady looks sad - not sure why.. Maybe she had a really hard life. I think she looks like a Rachel.


I think she looks like a tomboy with that belt buckle on her collar .
This guy looks like a student banker - a banker that would live in Savannah Georgia

Maybe he is a young man graduating from collage - or heading to a ball.. Or maybe he the mayor

This little baby is pulling this kitties tail - maybe thinking about eating it.

This young soldier looks like he just left home - not yet been to war - or he could be Gomer Pyle-ish.

funky

I made this funky video from some of the items in my etsy shop!

etsy on cnn

Here is a recent segment on cnn featuring etsy!

How cool!

ring ring...

I have listed this cool Vintage telephone in my etsy shop.

I think it is probably more antique than vintage - It has that 4 prong plug. I cannot make out what it in the center of the rotary dial to tell the maker.

I am not a telephone expert bu any means -

Anyone have any ideas?
