Handmade, Vintage, Repurposed, Upcycled and Much More at Arfire Stores





Hello & Welcome to PassnItOn!:) Above this you will see pictures of what I am starting to list in my ArtFire store today. YES! Finally, I have decided the time is here to start listing what I have done so far, and to make room for me to work on more pieces, and different things here I would like to finish up with to list at ArtFire also. So, when you get a chance, visit with me at PassnItOn @ Artfire 

Bear with me as I begin this new store, getting inventory ready for it, and I reminding you I also have my other store there at ArtFire that is for my vintage collectibles. Keep in mind also, if you do not find what you are looking for with me & my stores, make sure to check out the other great sellers on site there too. There is so many wonderful things there at ArtFire, and I myself could look forever & ever, and enjoy all of it too!:) 

Was nice of you to stop by to see me today, visit with me, view with me, and hope to see you again. Thanks for visiting with me, and hope to see you again. Take care, and have a super week, and best of luck to all you sellers too!:)

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!


Hello to all passing through, and for those stopping to visit with me!:) Glad to have you. Hope this finds everyone doing well, and getting ready for the big Turkey Day this week too. Does everyone have big plans? This year will be different for me. Usually it is a big gathering every year, cooking, dishes, more dishes, food on top of food, and everyone sitting around enjoying the time with family & friends. For those of us gathering at our home this year it will be very small. Some where along the way some of the family & friends have lost what it is to have people around without being selfish, and psychotic about things. But, enough of that....sorry.

I am trying really hard this week to have some things ready to start listing in my artfire store. Getting very anxious, and also very nervous for it too. I have about 3 pieces I am adding some simple little touches to, and then I have another I need to finish some extras that I am doing with it also. I will keep ya'll posted with this, and with when I do get things listed. 

Stopping by to check on things here, and to leave a note with a Hello to everyone coming through. Take care all, have a gorgeous day, a beautiful week, and Happy Thanksgiving!:)

Upcycled, Repurposed, Recontructed White Fire King Saucer and Candle Holder


Hello everyone visiting, and passing through!:) Hope everyone has had a great weekend! Snow here, and it is melting right away too...UGH! Sorry, but just not ready for the snow yet either. 

I just left the forums at artfire, and was reading more, and taking notes on the good & the bad of listings with the upcycled reconstructed treasures of vintage, and what to use for wording things, why it is not longer vintage but descriptions should still show vintage pieces used, and etc. Was very interesting reading, and enjoyed learning from it too. Helps me better understand things when I start listing my work done.

Pictured here is a piece I have completed, and am going to leave as is. My daughter felt it looked store boughten as is, so no lace, buttons, pearl strands, bows, anything with this. 

It is a pure milk white fire king saucer, with no cup, and was found like this by itself. No other pieces with it, just the 1 saucer. At the same time on another side of the store I found the milk white candle holder that is glued to this saucer making a stand used for various items of personal use. Both pieces have no chips, scratches, very clean, very white, and very shiny too. I am happy with it, and am gearing up to start listing what bit I do have to offer at ArtFire, and hopefully get more done as I am listing too:)

Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend, and thanks again for visiting with me. I appreciate it, and hope to see you drop by again. Take care, and have a super week everyone!:)

Repurposed Upcycled Vintage Treasures for Home Decor


Welcome to all who visit, browse, stop by, pass through! Hope ya'll had a great weekend, and hope that the Halloween weekend was good to everyone. I have completed a few more pieces, and some I am going to leave as is, but maybe 2-3 of the pieces I want to add a little to them yet. They look like they need something:) So, here are group pictures I did of some items so far:




These are pictures of items that are pretty much completed, and are being prepared for listing with my ArtFire store. I have the store set up, banner, avatar, but am working on some of the inventory. Along with these items I hope to also offer like some doilies, cloth napkins, tablecloths, and such as that too. I need to get envelopes for such items, and also look over charts for shipping for all of these items so I am prepared for when I start my listings. Wish me luck...I am starting to get nervous as this is a new venture for me. I have sold vintage, collectibles since 2005 as LilacsNDreams with different marketplaces, I do have an ArtFire store for LilacsNDreams, and have decided to add repurposed upcycled treasures along with that, but with another store. When you get a chance, visit my LilacsNDreams places, love the company from everyone!:) Crafting, handmade, repurposed, and upcycled it is really fun to look at, plan on what you want to do, see pieces for sale & just know that you can repurpose it some how....It is a thrill, and feels good when accomplished too:)

Well, want to keep this shorter, and not such a book for ya'll:) Thinking of everyone, and hoping ya'll had a great weekend. Have a super week of sales, and with crafting too!:)
