As part of my personal cure, I’m selling off some vintage Fiesta pieces from my personal collection. Except for the Harlequin plates, they’re all in good to excellent condition (click on the images to view the auctions):

Five deep plates in ivory, good condition, starting at $19.99

Forest Green Harlequin eggcup in excellent condition, current bid $5.50

Cute set of everyday usable Harlequin dishes, $12.99

And the most valuable item in my collection:

Vintage yellow casserole in excellent condition, no chips or cracks, $75 OBO

I *heart* this piece. But I know if I keep it, I will break it, and probably before I even got a chance to use it. The lid is perfect. The handles are perfect. The inside of the bowl is perfect. There are some small light scratches on the outside, which break my heart, but it’s otherwise amazing.

There are also a lot of new things added and going to be added to the etsy store, so check that out too!

I’m not exactly in a position to buy anything right now, but if I were, it would be cheap. Here are a few things I want:

Because I am, right?

I love Qantas posters. I also admire the travel industry until approximately the 1970’s for pretty much eschewing all sensible means of advertising – that is, actual photographs of the advertised destinations – in favor of abstract illustrations by E. McKnight Kauffer, Jean Carlu, and David Klein, among others. Or maybe it’s just that only these were interesting enough to survive.

These rugs are apparently handmade from recycled soda bottles. And I need an outdoor rug.

Okay, so these *aren’t* cheap. But I do want them. I’m going to make a confession here: my drinking glasses are from Ikea. I said it.

And I’ve added some more cheap things to the store:

Jiffy Chest recipe box, circa 1939: $6

Large Couroc tray: $10

So, last night I launched my adorable new storefront on etsy.com, and though it only has five little treasures in there so far, I have a lot more stuff I’ll be adding in the coming days and weeks. Here are a few things I’ve got in there at the moment:

A Harlequin individual salad bowl in yellow, $25

Vintage Fiestaware salt and pepper shakers, $15/set.

Glass syrup dispenser, $10.

A cute little vintage tin for storing unimportant things, $8.

Tell your friends! Buy things! Tell your friends to buy things!
