Let's See What's on Etsy

Lately, I've been busy adding more items than I've ever had to my sweet little Etsy shop. I'm getting ready for what I hope will be the holiday rush, although who knows if there will be one in this economy. Here are a few of my newest listings . . .

This set of eight cheerful napkins has a colorful poppy flower and bud appliqued in the corner.

They are beautifully hand sewn and some of the flowers are tinted. So pretty! Can't you just picture them tucked next to vibrant dishes like Fiesta or Harlequin dinnerware?

This book, called Petite Suzanne, just sold. It is a wholesome family story about a lively little French Canadian girl and her picturesque life on the Gaspe Coast in Quebec.

It was written and illustrated by Marguerite deAngeli, an American author and illustrator who wrote 30 children's books during the course of her career.

This oversized publication for the jazz enthusiast was published in 1946 by Esquire Magazine. It is filled with articles, some of which were wrritten by Frank Sinatra, Count Basie, Benny Goodman, and Nat "King" Cole. There is also a wonderful pictorial spread of jazz drummers of the day and it's loaded with photographs of many Jazz greats, including Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Billie Holiday, and Dinah Shore.

This book is a fascinating look back at the American jazz scene over 60 years ago.

I am still working on listing this beautiful lot of Victorian paper ephemera, below.

Such wonderful images! Once they make it into my shop, I hope they'll be discovered by someone who'll use them for scrap booking or other crafty projects.

And lastly, I listed this exceptional tinted and embroidered dresser scarf. Do you remember when I wrote about it back in February?
