Happy Thanksgiving 2025! See the Cast of Vintage Characters!

These are the reoccurring characters in the annual Thanksgiving play. They have been performing for decades! TY for your service.

The thought this month is old but it still works for me: Is your glass half empty or half full?

Happy Thanksgiving! New Vintage Etsy Assistants!

Note: flower on top. Movable parts. 

                                                                               About 1940s.

Very stately.

Different flowers on each.

                                                           The whole gang.

Shipped yesterday to California and Washington. I have collected gift wrap items for years. Now they are put to good use. I wrap everything I sell. Not fancy but still fun to open when received. I know I enjoy those little niceties in life.

New Photo Tog Assistants helping spice up the displays and photographs for Gracious Cottage Shop. Also, the lambs will do some of the heavy lifting with packages. I'm excited with the originality of these additions. Non-tech "robots" were scored at a warehouse sale last weekend. The lambs were found last month at a small vintage store in Long Beach. I don't have to be concerned with all the napping with these guys like I do with my Siamese assistant.

What I like about having an Etsy shop is the continual learning and the endless ways to express creativity.

Count your blessings today. Visit me tomorrow for vintage gifts.  ALL shipping is free!
