Sweet Sheets and Keys,Yes Please...

This week I've been pretty darn productive.Packing and tossing tons of stuff and still trying to keep myself from buying more things but ugh!Sometimes it hard.I have a million and 1 odd collections so its sometimes too easy for me to find something I like.I love keys.Skeletons keys and odd shaped ones are fantastic,I came across these ones yesterday and had to add them to my collection.I love history in all its forms and with old keys its fun to imagine what it use to go to.

Another thing I adore is old sheet music,especially from the 1920s and 1930s.Its a cheap and great way to add some art to your wall.Just toss them in a frame and tuh-dah!You can usually find these very affordable because people overlook them,if they don't play music they don't see the point in buying them which I think is a real shame because they really are art.

I've started cutting some prices in my Etsy shop and redoing photos I didn't like.Like this one.Hoping it will bring in some more sales as I'm starting to realize I have a TON of stuff to pack and the less inventory in my shop that I have to pack on top of my house stuff is a good thing.
In my limited vintage hunting this week I got a huge bag of amazing vintage ties from the gentlemen that works at one of my favorite antiques malls yesterday!He brought them in just for me I was stoked.Unfortunately my husband doesn't dress vintage so they'll be making their way into my shop sometime soon,I have a few I want to give to a friend first though.If I can't dress my own fella well that won't stop me from bringing too fashion sense to the rest of the world!

  5. I collect Music sheets too! I am fascinated with the print and collage techniques they used, especially in the Deco style ones. We have a wall of them in our living room all in back frames, they are the best and cheapest form of vintage art.
