What’s New in June 2023

What’s New with Me after a long time away from this blog?

Covid delayed a lot of things, but mostly Human Connections. I do miss that. 

I did spend much of that time selling on my EBay site.

My new Venture or “Adventure”, is selling at a great shop in Ambler PA

“Home by Kristen” is a place to shop for Home Decor, Furniture, Jewelry, Vintage items and so much more. 

I will post Photos later this week and add links to that shop as well as my EBay store and Facebook Page.

I hope you will check back soon for updates.

Thanks, Lea

Getting my Shop up and running



 So, it's been 6 week since I had this idea to get an online shop up and running.  

If you know me or have followed me on Facebook, you know that I enjoy sewing, creating and collecting. 

Since Covid and the stay at home advise, I have been sewing Fabric Purses and Cell Phone Purses.  

Since I have an ebay shop, I decided to give that a try first.  I have been selling a lot of vintage sewing patterns and doing well with that.

My followers have not purchased any of my bags.  Then I went to my "old" etsy shop and found out that had been suspended.  I have no idea why except for lack of use for a few years.  

I have always loved the buying or making and selling at different consignment type shops.  Now with Covid, I prefer not to go that route right now.  This leaves me with an inventory of Purses as well as Vintage Items.

I will see if I can list these things on my Facebook Page, also titled 

Annie's Cottage Attic. 

The Photo below shows many of the Purses and Cell Phone Bags. 

Give me a Few days to get it started. 

Thank you,  Annie

2020 update

 I have no idea where the last 4 years have gone.

This is my first post since then.

This is the year of Covid 19 and I am trying to get back to selling online, since I no longer rent a consignment space. 

Please bear  with me as I try to navigate this unfamiliar territory.

Christmas


 As you can see from my title,
Christmas,
It's been a while again since I posted

Fall is a busy time for me, helping friends with craft shows, and keeping my booth updated
for the Holidays
at Morgantown Market



White Tile Ornaments and Glittery Bells
are ready to hang or attach to a package.



 The pair of old cabinet doors now have coat hooks are now ready 
to hang in
an entry way or mud room.  




Candles, Cards and Vintage Toys.
And, of course, a Primitive Santa and Lots of 
Holiday Linens are pressed and ready.



All of these are available for sale at 
Morgantown Market in Morgantown, PA



Now I can begin to decorate at Home.






 My Favorite Wreath returns again this year above my
entertainment center.
Santas dressed in White complete the picture.

I still have lots to do, but tomorrow is another day.

August


Summer is nearly over 


I can't believe it's been over a year since I posted anything. 
I guess I must have been busy.

Much has changed in this past year.  Some good, some not so good, 
but most have been fun.

I have recently started selling at a wonderful place just east of Lancaster PA
at a co op called Morgantown Market

 They have been in business for 2 years and has about 80 vendors.
When I found it, I loved it.
   It's not your "run of the mill" Antique shop. 

Morgantown Market is a mixture of Antiques, Collectibles, Home and Garden Decor,
Handcrafted items, Jewelry, Candles, Photographs, Painted Furniture 
and much more. 
Check it out on Facebook

Here are a few photos of my booth.


  

Some of my favorite resent finds.  I love hunting for Unique Vintage Treasures.




As you can see, I am still in the Summer Mode.   In a few short weeks most of this will 
be changed out for Fall.
Of course I will always have Vintage Photos and Sewing Notions, 
and my favorite, White Ironstone.



Thanks for checking in and enjoy the rest of your Summer.

Sewing Room make over

 


I've been working on organizing my Sewing Room this week.

I now feel like I can actually find what I need. 



I also just listed the last of my Cell Phone purses on Etsy.

I guess I'll have to start making more soon.

Designed by Lea


I've been making more Cell Phone Purses
and Larger Cross Body Purses as well.

This Saturday is the Spring Craft Show and Sale at 
North Penn High School in Lansdale, PA

I have been helping a friend with her booth there for a while now
and she always invites me to add a few of my
latest creations.


As you can see, I am using Vintage Grain Sacks.
They are all One of a Kind and are lined 
with various vintage fabric and 
some new prints.
The cross body length strap is easily shortened with a simple knot

As you can see I have small inventory which continues to grow as I acquire more Grain Sacks


The Larger Purse has a long Braided Strap, is fully lined, 
with a pocket for a cell phone and 
a small matching wallet.


I will be listing new items on my Etsy Shop as soon as I get back to my sewing machine.
