I Love Vintage and Collectible Items

I love vintage and collectible items and so it was natural for me to start selling these items. I collect things (too many I think) and enjoy sharing these items with others. One nice benefit of selling is being able to buy items to add to my collection.  I have found it is often easier to buy then to sell but I am working on downsizing a bit.  I have been selling on eBay since 2000 and have listed many vintage items over the years.

I also enjoy hearing from buyers about the items I am selling and the story behind them. I sell a lot of vintage racing items and have often received notes about drivers, tracks and the memories they have of these places. It is interesting to hear the memories from other people about racing. Often people buy some of these items because they attended that track or their dad raced there. This is an example of vintage racing program book we have listed on eBay.

I think most vintage and collectible sellers are also preserving a bit of our history by sharing these items and having them go to a good home and not the landfill. So stop by today and check out my other vintage items on eBay.

Did You Have a Vintage Tree Topper On Your Christmas Tree?

When I  was growing up Christmas time and all the family traditions were very important. We all loved decorating the Christmas Tree and putting the tree topper on the tree was a very important job. Putting our angel on the top and stringing the lights were my dad's job the rest was left up to the kids. We had the same angel on our tree year after year like many families. This is just one of many Christmas traditions for many families including my own.

This cute Angel Tree Topper is listed on eBay and you can see she how pretty she is lit up. She measures about 8 inches high and would look adorable on any Christmas Tree. You can see the rest of the pictures on the listing.

We have many vintage Christmas collectibles in our store Book Corner Cafe n More so stop by today. We also are listing more items every week.

Does Christmas Bring Back Memories of Your Childhood?

Christmas is such a magical time for kids and I have fond memories of each and every Christmas. It was a time when the whole family got together with huge meals and lots of presents. Even today the Christmas season is very special to me and so are the many vintage decorations I put out each year. I have a Santa like this one that was my great grand mom's and I see her when I look at my Santa.

Do you have vintage holiday decorations that bring back memories? Often these types of decorations are handed down over the years and kept in the family. When I saw this Santa I had to list him in hopes he finds a family to spend years with and make great memories.

He stands about a foot tall with a cotton beard and black boots that have Japan stamped on the bottom. He is listed in my newly opened Etsy store and that store may in fact become a vintage Christmas store.

I am listing more items regularly and you can also fine more items listed on eBay in my store Book Corner Cafe n More. Stop by today at eBay I have a sale going on so check out the bargains.

Do You Collect Vintage Racing Items?

We have been race fans for many years and continue to love and be involved in the sport at our local track. We spent many years going to Pocono Raceway to watch the races and one year Evel Kneivel was there preforming. We have always loved watching him perform on TV and to see him live was even better.

Do you Remember Hatfield Speedway?

Years ago there were a lot of local race tracks in our area and Hatfield Speedway was just one of them. Many people that went to the races had choices of local tracks and could find a race on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights. Things sure have changed and now we have one local track and a few others that are around but not very close. Finding a lot of vintage items from Hatfield Speedway was exciting especially paper items so I listed quite a few at auction this week. I have listed both stock are and drag racing items since they raced both at Hatfield Speedway.

Here are two advertising post cards for both the Stock Cars and the Drag Races held at Hatfield. These were sent out to people to advertise the races and are in really good shape for their age.

You can check out the listing on eBay and our other auctions with vintage Hatfield Speedway items.
