Vintage trim giveaway


This is about 21 over 3 yard pieces of vintage lace, ribbon, and trim. All pictured above. I have been hoarding a lot of ribbon over the years, I think it is time to share. I am also including a vintage cross-stitched cotton square neck collar. It is all held in a Swedish gingersnap tin. It still smells like gingersnaps.

***To enter please check out my etsy shop, and leave a comment about what you think on this posting. One good thing and one bad thing. An extra entry for posting this raffle anywhere on the internet.

Oh, and the raffle ends next Wednesday May 20th 12:00 p.m. (pacific).

  1. Is it fair for me to win twice? I think your shop is awesome. I love that you list often. It makes me excited to check back all the time to see what's new. I can't think if anything bad. Maybe I'd say some of your photographs....but those are looking really awesome & crisp lately. thanks to that new camera, right?

  2. I love my new camera. I've had it for a while and I need to see what it can do. I also have some trouble with lighting. Do you just need to photograph in the right time of the day?

  3. Hi Lil
    What a lovely shop you have. Your jewellery is great and my daughter loves the horses :)
    Anything bad? Well, I can't think of anything bad and it would not be fair of me writing the first time on your blog and complaining about something.

  5. Your shop is precious...I am so glad you had this giveaway listed n Etsy Giveaway's because it has led me to a great new seller!

    O.K. one good thing---the red oval framed illustration in your shop is phenomenal. Seriously. I promised my husband I wouldn't buy any more pictures for awhile but--that one needs to be mine:)

    As far as one bad thing? Um...well...your Etsy shop is adorable but, I would love it if you had an easy "followers" link on your blog. It makes it much easier to keep up with cool new sites, rather than all the copying and pasting to get it in blogger:)

  8. I am happy to find your blog and Etsy shop!! I love that all of your things are unique and rare. I went straight to the vintage jewelry of course,and found many lovely pieces:)
    Nothing bad or negative at all!!
    Maybe if anything some advice about what i have noticed before,in the jewelry section,the use of models are used for showing off how the the jewelry hangs but is definitely not that important.
    I added you as a favorite , so much pretty lace that i also love!!

  9. Wow, you have a lot of great items in your shop! The variety is also amazing. I love the framed prints/illustrations/etc. One suggestion I have would be not to include the measurements of lace/ribbon/etc in the title but rather put it in description.

  10. I love everything in your shop especially your Light green vintage frame! As for something bad, I really have nothing except to maybe organize your etsy sidebar better. Great shop!

  11. Wow-I love the variety you have in your shop. I really had to look hard for a bad thing to comment on-some of the pictures of the jewelry weren't the best-or didn't show the complete item.

  12. The round flower tin is really cute. I love the colors and pattern. I think the bird pendant that used to be an earring is a great way to use a lost it's mate piece!

  13. I think that one good thing is that you accept personal checks as some people are not as tech savvy about paying by credit card and using paypal. You have a lot of adorable items!

    One bad thing is that you allow people to reserve items for seven days if they can't afford to purchase. While, it's very kind, it ties up your items for an entire week and you can't be sure people will definitely buy the item.

  22. I love your items. They are beautiful finds. The thing I think that could be improved is putting your items on lighter backgrounds to photograph some of them. Make it look brighter and cheerier!
    Thanks for the giveaway opportunity!

    I like Mary Janes! wish my girl was still that little they are a bargain at $5.

    I don't like the dot paper background you photographed some items on its to busy.

    Very nice shop.
    If I win I'd use the trim to make a little crazy quilt.
    thanks

  24. I like the variety of things in your store, and the photography is nice. I think you may get more impulse buyers if you listed international shipping and said you'd refund overcharges, instead of asking them to convo you.

  25. Okay, good things first! I love your Sewn by Me pillows. Bad thing- you could use some more Sewn By Me stuff! I'd like to see you put that vintage trim to use! I wish I could sew.....if I could I would make all kinds of stuff. I might give it another try if I win, start small. Thanks for the giveaway.
