MaryLouLavenders Betty Crocker Fire King Anchor Hocking and More at Ebay. 

Welcome to Second Time Treasures, and glad to have you visiting with Me! Do you like Thrifting, Second Hand Stores, Treasure Hunting, Flea Markets, and you know....finding them great deals? Sure you do! Many of us do, and sometimes searching the internet is where we gather to look as well too. 

MaryLouLavenders is a seller on Ebay who has been there for a long time. Like many of us her desire is to make her sales count to one day let go of that day job, and to be able to focus fully on what she enjoys doing.....Thrifting, Treasure Hunting, vintage, antiques, and all of that fun stuff. Hey, how many others wish for this same thing too? I sure do! Just to be able to enjoy what I am doing, and knowing others are happy with their finds they receive from me would be such a great feeling. 

So, below are a few pictures from MaryLouLavenders that she is offering right now. I happen to know that she does have more inventory that is being prepared to be added with this as time permits. So, keep an eye out for some of them things. Any questions, don't hesitate to ask her, ok?

Set Clocks Back an Hour Day Light Savings Time

Set Them Clocks Back an Hour, Day Light Savings Time.


Hello, and Welcome to Second Time Treasures this evening! Glad to have you here, and that you could stop to visit with me! I wanted to come by, and leave a note for everyone to remind you to set them clocks back tonight before you go to bed. Otherwise, you could wake in the morning to a reality check after you have rushed around getting ready for church, to meet with friends, to go for a brunch, and so on....that you are waayyy ahead of schedule. By about an hour...LOL:) Don't worry, this is a reminder for me too. I get forgetful as well:)


Setting our clocks back is good, we gain another hour, but I also think of how this is it. This is really fall/winter time, and the dark nights will come much sooner to us now too. Hopefully this winter will be good to us, and we can move onto spring when need be. 


Ok, sorry. Thanks again for visiting with Second Time Treasures, and hope this is a helpful reminder to you about setting them clocks back! Enjoy that extra hour....I know I will:) See you when you come back.

Hello, and Welcome to Thrift Store Junkies with LilacsNDreams! Glad to have you here, and that you could take some time to visit with me!:) As some already know, I have not done much of anything the past 2 weeks due to being home sick:-(  Great timing as some of us had planned a "Girls Weekend" We were going to meet at a 1/2 way point for us to get together, had the motel reserved, had things mapped out, addresses for some possibilities, and all of that wonderful stuff. New area, new places for treasures, and so on. Well.....I am still home not wanting to infect anyone yet. The girls got together, were packing up, and heading out this morning. I am upset, and missing being there already....but what's a person to do, right? So, I came to my blog to share some thing with everyone here....until I need to step away again:)

Above you will see a few pictures of one of my last ventures out there with thrifting. I was holding off on getting too much due to this weekend, but as you can see from these pieces, and others that have been shown, there are some possibilities to be repurposing with too. I want to try, and take a day where I play around with the glass pieces, and try to put something together a little bit differently than what I have done so far. I keep thinking I will find something else to do, but I do LOVE my glassware. I enjoy painting pieces, but now that it is cold....I will not be able to do much of it unless it is small enough to work with sponge applicators, and some small brushes:)

It's Friday, and I hope everyone is having a beautiful day. It is cool here, and beautifully sunny too! Wish I was out there digging, but health should really come first....no matter how frustrated I am getting...LOL:) Thanks for the visit everyone, take care, and see you again soon!:)

Welcome to Second Time Treasures Formerly Passn It On

Hello everyone, and glad to see you here!:)

Whew! If you will please bear with me one more time....I am making some changes with ALL my blogs, trying to make them work together, and bring them in together a bit more than what they were. With this one you will notice I have changed the name with it....fits more with what I am working on doing, and changing things to. Some blogs of mine have been canceled, and some have been added.....as pages for my main blog. As ya'll know, that is where I have been spending a lot of my time is with my main blog....it's for my business, and generates the traffic for me that is growing too! I am excited because for me it is an accomplishment. 

When I started things online with selling I just kind of stepped up to it, and just did it. Over time I have been learning things, researching things, and reading things. I decided to slow myself down a little bit, and re-evaluate things a bit more. So, I have stepped back a bit, decided to work with my blogs more, and my website, and try to get my views and things up with that. I have not listed anything new for my stores....as of yet. Summertime is always slow for me. It gives me a chance to do what I am doing now, look things over, see what I need to change, and decide what directions I am going. 

I LOVE vintage, collectibles, and always will. I enjoy selling them, and am always learning great things, and meeting great people along the way too. But, things haven't been fully settled with me. I felt there was more I wanted to do, and just did not feel completed yet. Over time I have watched, read, reviewed, and soooo enjoyed everything shared by soooo many crafty people out there! Kind of some of the "Child" coming back in me. When I was younger I use to paint things, create things, sew with grandma's sewing machine, and over time grandma would bring me silk flowers she would find on sale, or maybe bring some other things of scraps of material and different supplies she would find on sale. I now know I should have listened to her quiet hints to me. She seen something with me then, and I soooo wish she was here to see things now, and see what I have been working on, and planning to do! 

So, I intend to keep selling vintage, collectibles as I do enjoy it. But, along with it I also will be implementing things with repurposed, reused, upcycled, and items reconstructed by me. I am no expert, and learning as I go. But, it occupies my time, I am enjoying it, and it has been comforting to work with some things so far. I hope to be doing more with supplies, and things I have here now. Working on my schedules of things, and trying to get back into the "groove" of what I do....selling:)

Thanks for being patient, and bearing with me through all of this. I really appreciate it. Please, check out my main blog of LilacsNDreams. See the pages that have been added to it, and some of the rearranging of things I have also been doing. Working on trying to bring it all together.....one step at a time:) Thanks for visiting, and please visit to keep updated. Know that you are always welcome to leave comments, and share with any of my blogs, and pages. Take care everyone!:)

Having a Cottage Style Decorated Home, What do You Have

Having a Cottage Style Decorated Home What do You Have. 

Having those cottage style homes is light, can be airy, fresh, is fun, and is clearly original. Today's style can often incorporate the soft palettes of green, blue, yellow, shades of lilac, and of course pink too. Sometimes you may see things brightened with a brisk color used too. Using pastels for color, some pretty florals, and with some vintage home accessories gives your home that cozy cottage style.

Lace handkerchiefs, lace trims, fragrance candles and some sweet smelling soaps, those comfortable rocking chairs, wallpapers, fabrics are so yummy for the home of cottage styles. Also, sometimes some glassware whether it is clear, or slight coloring that sparkles in the light may be displayed. Picture some of those furniture slip covers that are inviting, some vintage style upholstery, and of course the layers of weathered paint. Gotta love that chippy paint.

This cottage style decorating can surface pretty much anywhere, and with it the attitude is what can also make the house cottage styled. Depending where the house is located sometimes I have seen seaside, shells, and sailboats incorporated with their decor too.

In today's expression of the cottage style is with the thought of flea markets, fresh flowers, vintage patterns, and a little bit of romance with it too. It's a welcoming feeling to all who may visit. 

I love cottage style homes, and hope to have it with our home eventually. It's a working progress. I really do admire the style when I see it in books, magazines, and by many who share their homes with us. Which style of home are you?

Thanks for visiting with PassnItOn, come back often to read, share with us here, and make comments. All are welcome. When in roam visit my LilacsNDreams Artfire Store, and my LilacsNDreams Ecrater Store. Maybe you will find something to fit with your cottage style homes from them.

Blog, Blogging, Blog Pages

Blog, Blogging, Blog Pages . . . . Hello everyone, and Welcome to PassnItOn! Glad to see you here. Why is it when it becomes summer we all kind of slow down with things, schedules we had seem to alter themselves, and know what I mean? LOL:)

Don't take me wrong, I have been checking in with my stores every day, making sure everything is ok, if there are any changes, and all of that. But, during the summer sales do slow a bit with everyone vacationing, camping, traveling, visiting, activities, and so on. I like to take this time to go through inventory at home, clear some things out, clean house a bit more, and spend time with my blogs and my website too. 

When you have a chance, please visit LilacsNDreams Blog. Working on a few changes there, ran into a glitch with having pages with blogger, but has found another way around it. Hopefully it will work as planning on. I noticed another blog tonight, was very nice, a seller from Artfire, and for her pages she had a box on the side bar for her, and had it titled Categories. I had seen this method explained to do when in search of working with pages on blogger. I questioned if I would like it, but got to see how it worked. Not too bad, and I know others are using that way too. 

Anyway, check out LilacsNDreams Blog with blog, blogging, vintage, collectibles, repurposed, and see what is happening with the pages there. See the solution that was chosen in that case, and read why it was done too. 

Thanks for visiting with PassnItOn, and wishing ya'll a super weekend! Have fun, and be safe:)

Hello and Welcome to PassnItOn!

Welcome, and happy you stopped by! I had been working on different topics to post to my blogs, but have gotten off here just a little bit. When you can, stop by to see my LilacsNDreams Blog. Check out the tabs/pages I have added to it for Thrift Store Finds, Sharing Blog Love, Links I Love, and Coffee House Talk. Oh, yeah, don't forget my website too! I have started to add subcategories to my Blog there like with my main blog. They are all a working progress, have ideas what to do with them, but am not getting them to work fully for me as I need on my main blog. So, will have to play with them a little bit more. 

Visit my Artfire Store for vintage, collectibles, and remember I have started to add some inventory of repurposed, and upcycled items too. Fun! Fun! I do have some things at my Ecrater Store, and will be transferring some products back to that...I hope to have it done this week:)

Hope everyone is surviving the storms, and any flooding where you are. Thanks for visiting, and be safe everyone. Happy Hump Day to you!:)

Artfire, Blog, LilacsNDreams, Vintage, Collectibles, Repruposed, Upcycled

Hello everyone, and Welcome to PassnItOn! Wonderful to see you here!

I like many others have gotten into some kind of slump of not getting things done. I think with all the google changes of the UPI, having to redo listings to help them get accepted with google, and each site you belong to seems to do it just a lil bit differently. So, that has taken some work to do that, and then also keep up with Facebook, blogs, website, and so on. 

I have been working with my website the past few days. Know how you do something, and it just feels unfinished, not full done, like it is missing something? Well, I was getting that on my website I was working with. Did not feel fully like I wanted it to. I had done quite a bit with it, but it just felt like there was something missing, and could not put my finger on it. Well, I worked with it, and think I have it to a point I can enjoy it more. Right now I have it set up with different tabs for venues I sell with, and am using all widgets that I can to either click, and view more, or have it take you to purchasing pieces too. 

I have reworded some of my Welcome, and About Me, and hopefully I can leave it alone for a while now. I need to work on adding more content with it, but that is one thing I am thankful for that I did add a Blog Tab to the top of my site so there is a place to blog with. At least I can offer things there, show things, and keep everyone updated with things by using my website blog too. 

So, what has everyone else been up to? I know around here this weekend is a very big weekend for graduation! Another year gone by, and another time in life for those who will be stepping forward to experience life, and the new roads that they will take. How scarey, how fun, how exciting, and how heart felt too. 

Hopefully I can keep clearing things out of the house, narrow down some areas, reorganize & simplify, and start working with some crafts again. I have made notes, and hope to imply some of the ideas soon that I have been noting:)


Hope this finds everyone doing well, and wishing ya'll a super weekend! Visit my LilacsNDreams Artfire Store for vintage, collectibles, glassware, home decor, housewares, and also for repurposed and upcycled treasures too. Hope you enjoy the visit as well. 

Artfire Addoway Vintage Collectibles Repurposed Upcycled

Hello, and Welcome to PassnItOn! Stopping by to wish all of you a HAPPY EASTER to you, and yours. Be safe, and enjoy the day everyone. 

This year just me, and hubby sitting at home. Feels really different, but I guess this is what it is when kids grown up, move out, on their own, marry, children, and etc. Holidays will always be hard with this. 

Tonight I did about 9 listings between Artfire, and my Addoway Store. I have completed the transfer of repurposed, and upcycled treasures from PassnItOn into my LilacsNDreams Store. Has been a smooth move, and actually I think a good one too. I have been featured with more collections with the transfer, and of course puts more items into my LilacsNDreams Artfire Store which will bring more traffic too. So, now you will find the repurposed, and upcycled treasures I do in that store along with vintage, collectibles, glassware, and so on. So far I think things are blending in well enough. When you visit my store, on the right side of the page click on the category for Repurposed, Upcycled, Recycled to see all the items of this nature listed there.

I really thought about it hard, but finally did remove the pro membership on my PassnItOn Store to a basic account. Hated to let such a good deal go, but nothing is in the store, no plans to do anything with another store at this time, and it is for the best to do this. I also have another store that is with Addoway where I will be offering treasures that are not old enough for vintage, but collectibles, or pieces that are still desired by people.

So, when you have a chance visit with my stores, browse, and enjoy your visits. Any questions do not hesitate to contact me, ok? 

Wishing ya'll a super weekend, and a very HAPPY EASTER! Take care, enjoy, and be safe!

Artfire Vintage Collectibles Glassware Home Decor Repurposed Upcycled Recycled

Hello, and Welcome to PassnItOn Blog. Happy to have you here. 

Sorry, I know I have been a bit slow getting to this blog, and it has not been intentional. Been working with the transfer of items from my PassnItOn Artfire Store into my LilacsNDreams Artfire Store. Been a little slower then intended due to family, life, and something is always coming up lately. But, I keep working on it as I am able to. 

I do have a cloche that I had repurposed, upcycled, and recycled from different pieces put together. I was never really completely happy with the ending product. It felt like something was missing, but not sure what it was. You ever get that sometimes? And then it bothers you, or nags at you a bit till maybe you think of something. Done that a few times myself as I am sure others have too. Well, the other night before transferring it to my LilacsNDreams Artfire store I found a glass piece that appeared to be the right size, height, and was clear glass to match with the glass cloche dome made. I have glued the piece to the bottom, and feel better with the piece now. It gave it a little bit of height, not much, but just enough I think. My only hope is that others will like it as I like it now. My first cloche to make, and I have ideas for another one. Still a working progress for the second one. 

I have been busy with my facebook page for LilacsNDreams, and have had many likes this past week from many good Artfire Members, and others finding me along the way. I am really enjoying the combination of both these stores, have had some good responses to it, and some great views too. It really feels good to house things under one roof...so to speak. 

When you get a chance, visit my LilacsNDreams Artfire Store. Hopefully this weekend the transfer will have been completed as I have also completed a few other projects I would like to add with the inventory. I am really enjoying this, and feel comfortable with this too. Stop by to visit, say Hi, leave me a comment, and love the visits! Hey, don't forget you can do the same thing here too!:)

Thanks for visiting PassnItOn Blog today. Hope to see you again. Take care everyone, and have a super weekend!:)

Vintage, Collectibles, Glassware, Dinnerware, Home Decor, Repurposed, Upcycled, Recycled with LilacsNDreams

Hello everyone, and Welcome to PassnItOn! Glad to have you here. 

As everyone knows I was gone most of the weekend, and during the time of abscense, driving for hours, etc. I had time to think of things too. I have 2 shops with Artfire, and the other shop has a different name. The name with the 2nd one is a name I have been suing since like 2004-2005 when I first started sales online. Everyone likes simplicity, less work, easier to organize & maintain, and having things in 1 place. I believe I am going to be combining my 2 shops at Artfire under my other shop name which is LilacsNDreams. Within that shop I will be offering vintage, collectibles, dinnerware, glassware, home decor, kitchenware, along with repurposed, upcycled, and recycled treasures. Some of the reconstructed treasures might use a vintage piece during its process making. After much thought I feel that this kind of variety store would be fine to have combined, and a more enjoyable shopping experience for everyone too. 

So, now that I am back home, rested a bit today, I would like to start working tomorrow on moving things over, and combining into one store. As my friend has often mentioned....simplicity....and I feel like this is a good move too. When you get a chance, watch my LilacsNDreams Artfire Shop where you will see everything in 1 place to simplify. I will then be able to better focus with my listings more into 1 shop, give it all the proper attention it should have, and not only will it be more enjoyable for the customers, but also for me too. 

I will keep this blog going right now, and have no intentions of closing this. Great way to keep everyone informed, share, and gives everyone time to find me with other places too. When you have a chance feel free to visit my other blog at LilacsNDreams Blog, or visit my website I have also been working with at LilacsNDreams Website. Would love to have you visit, and leave comments with things too. 

Thanks for the visit, and the understanding of changes coming too. Wishing ya'll a very Happy Hump Day! Take care, and best wishes to everyone!

 

Etsy Forums Are Gone Join a Team to Get Your Answers

Hello everyone, and Welcome to PassnItOn! Glad to see you here, and hope you enjoy your visit:)

Well now, just came from etsy forums again. Looks like it started with the Forums, but I thought it was suppose to be mid February that they started with the forums? Anyway, a lot of the forums are being locked. You can view what was said, look for an old post, but no more comments can be made. 

So, that then brings up the issues of the Teams that are replacing the forums. First of all, you have to join Teams. You have to apply for them, and be approved for them before you can participate with them. If you have pictures that are not good, or acceptable, a Team Captain can deny you joining the Team. Then, if you go forward, correct what was not acceptable before trying to join a Team, you will then have to contact the Captain to ask them for reapplying. Also, if the Team requests for the Captain to accept the member is another way to gain access I guess. 


Wow! Was much simplier when you could go to the forums, and look for the issue you were needing help with. A place where you could openly share, and promote your stores, and if you had a glitch or a bug, you could inquire right away about it. But, now if you have any issues you cannot just openly ask about it. You will have to go through the process of joining a team. But, if you are denied a membership to a Team....where do you go then to have your questions answered? Are they going to start a Team for Bugs and Glitches? If so, what if you were denied a membership to that? Then what?


Sorry, but this sounds very complicating, and very unethical too. This is not a very professional business way to handle a large group of people who make the selling venue what it is. Sorry, but this is really upsetting to hear this, and I am trying to understand it as many other members of Etsy are also trying to adapt, and having problems with it. 


So, what do you think? Do you think the Forums being removed was a good thing? Do you feel that having Teams for the forums was the right move? How comfortable are you with selling at Etsy with all the changes happening? Please, feel free to respond to these things everyone. Have to have some where to vent a bit:)


Tomorrow Super Bowl Sunday! Hope ya'll have a great day with family, friends, or watching yourself. Enjoy the day, best of luck to all, and Be Safe!

Repurposed Upcycled Reconstructed Crafters.....Welcome!!

Hello again everyone! Well, as you can see I got the background changed for my blog, and was gonna add a different banner, but have been delayed for just a bit. I generally use bannerfans.com, and have become very accustomed to the site, and what I can do there. Nothing fancy, simple, add my pictures/background I want to use, choose different fonts to use, sizing, borders, etc. But, once again the link is broken to the site. I hope it will not last long. Last time it did this it was like almost a week before I could get back into it. I can't complain, it's all free. But, when you get use to something, been using it for quite a while, it becomes habit:)

Been doing organizational work with desk papers, and on the internet today. Hopefully will have enough done I can get some work done tomorrow since I will be snowed in again. Wish me luck everyone. Thanks again for visiting, and hope to see you again soon. Take care:)

Visit my Marketplaces with Artfire, and eCrater Too

Time is just flying now isn't it? Where is it going? It has passed me some where as I am not getting everything done as I should, or want to do. I have started items to my Artfire store for PassnItOn. I don't have all in there I wish to have, but am working on it. Taking pictures, measuring things, and listing as I am able to between the dealings of everyday life too:) I have items ready to list again, some items to be completed, and some items that have pieces setting out ready to be reconstructed too. It's exciting, I love it, and wish I had all the time in the world to get them done. But, one day at a time, and hopefully get done what I want to.

When possible visit my store to see what I have added so far, and keep an eye out for what other treasures I will also be listing too. Don't forget I also sell vintage collectibles, and have another store at Artfire for such a thing. The name of that store is LilacsNDreams. Yes, Artfire sells Hand Made, Vintage, Supplies, Media, Design, and Fine Art. Wonderful people there, and everyday something is always being added there. So, visit my stores there when you can, and visit with other sellers there too. And, lastly what I cannot offer at Artfire with their rules of what can be sold, can be seen with another store I am adding inventory to. That store is at eCrater, and also using the name of LilacsNDreams. 

When you can stop back to visit with me here, and also with my stores. Love the company, the comments, and seeing everyone there. Wishing everyone a great Sunday, and a beautiful week! Best of luck to all of you!:)
