That's because Thursday evenings in the forums of Etsy (the website of all things handmade and vintage), a group of sellers far more knowledgeable than me gets together to gab and share their latest, or more likely the things they love from other people's shops. The conversation flies so fast you can get up for a drink and come back to find 15 pages have passed and three people have left, three more arrived. It's like antique shopping with a group of hilarious friends. I always leave dizzy and a little overwhelmed.
Here's a brief sampling of some of my new favorites from last night's vintage marathon:
Cactus planter from AuntiePrincess.
Stalker dutch doll from PetitPoulailler
(check out the eyes)
Metalware tray by LorenzStudio
Royal biscuit tin by SurrenderDorothy
Killer red heels by RetroCycle
Green camel salt and pepper shakers by SlushyGirl
This is just a fraction of the gorgeous, and sometimes hilarious, items shared. Newcomers, interlopers, voyeurs all welcome--it's most every Thursday night for 3 or 4 hours (I poop out after 1 or 2), in the Promotions forum, hosted by SurrenderDorothy.

oh the promo forum...that's why I've never come across this weekly chat....promo moves too fast for this girl
It's the only one I can handle, and even then I only stay for a while and look at a third of the stuff. But fun!
It's always a pleasure to see you in the forums! Thanks for including my tray and I'll see ya next week!
I love that camel S/P. That sounds like a crazy forum...I'll have to try it out next week. Thanks!
That doll is scaring me.
Considered yourself tagged.
Hi Callooh,
I love your name- what is the origin/ethnicity of it? Thanks for posting on my etsy thread http://www.etsy.com/forums_thread.php?thread_id=5557172&page=2
Take care
Aargh! Tagged again. Well, I'll respond in some fashion, Melissakate (and thanks!).
adornmentsbymilani--Callooh Callay is from Lewis Carroll's Jabberwocky poem (Oh frabjous day! Callooh! Callay! He chortled in his joy.) I love the poem and love the sound of the words.
Loooove the Royal biscuit tin!
Seems like you have pleasant dreams. Those are some nice items, I love the Dutch Doll.
My dad has a biscuit tin like the one pictured here that he cherishes very much. He's quite the Anglophile. I was surprised to see it here...
