Inspired to Etsy

A snowy Christmas Eve turned into an "Etsy Adventure". I was catching up with some of my Facebook friends I stumbled upon a friend's Etsy shop "Dirty Bakers Dozen". (For those of you who don't know what Etsy is, it is a web community of "shop owners" who sell handmade or vintage items). Well, the wheels started turning in my head that perhaps I could set up shop of my own!
So, several hours later here I am with my very own shop entitled: "Live Simply by Design". I really wanted to do the same name as my blog "Our Life Without Instructions", but it was too long! Anyhow, I was inspired to share some of the little treasures I have decided to put up for sale!
I decided to list:

• Vintage ring box with an Art Deco style that has been hiding in a drawer for quite a while
• Sterling silver spoon ring
• Tiffany & Co. sterling silver bracelet with a "hook" design
• Pair of vintage red plastic post back earrings
• Rhinestone costume jewelry necklace

I know with a little more hunting (and perhaps a visit to my inlaw's house) I can find some more things to list. I am pretty sure this isn't going to become a career for me and it might be a horrible failure, but it has given me a reason to hunt down some of my forgotten treasures that someone else might enjoy give a good home!!
