Bier und Schnitzel sale

Andy and I are going to Munich and Vienna for two weeks in October--yes!...or rather, ja!--and we have purchased our tickets and apartment/airbnb accommodations.  But we still need money for all the beer, schnitzel, Sacher torte, coffee, Grüner Veltliner, etc.  So I'm having a (somewhat rare) sale: 20% off all items in the shop now through Wednesday.

Please, go shop--and help us fund our trip!

thank you

I hope everyone in the US had a lovely Thanksgiving, filled with delicious food and good times with loved ones.  And I hope that, rather than indulging in the Black Friday stampede madness, you'll be supporting some of your local small businesses--on Saturday and always!

For those who haven't already seen it mentioned on the Facebook page or Twitter, Small Earth Vintage is having a Thank You sale (to thank YOU, our wonderful customers, for whom we are so grateful), now through midnight EST on Monday, November 26.  Everything is 20% off (already marked down in the shop; no code needed).

nifty fifty!

Yes, it's true!  It's hard to believe looking at him--and it's even harder to believe if you actually know him--but Andy will be a half century old on July 12!  And because nothing makes Andy happier than selling vintage clothing, we're having a sale to celebrate.  Prices are already marked down in the shop, so go ahead and make Andy happy and buy stuff.

Oh, and here, from the Small Earth Vintage archives, are some of great shots of my favorite male model.

thanksgiving...and a sale!

Mmmm...pie!  I'm not actually that big on pie, but I think the acorns on that center pie are pretty adorable.  (Photo is from a 1955 Women's Home Companion.)  We're having pumpkin cheesecake, not pie, but I hope your Thanksgiving holiday is wonderful no matter what you eat.

Because we are so very thankful to our customers and friends, Small Earth Vintage will be having a 15% off sale in the Etsy shop from Friday, November 25 through Monday, November 28.

And just a heads up, we'll be closed from November 30 until December 7.  The Etsy shop will be open for purchases, but items will not be shipped until Thursday, December 8.

we are 3! [giveaway closed]

11/1/11 update: And the winner--chosen via Random.org--is vegAnn!  Thanks so much to everyone for entering.




Editing this post to let you all know: save 15% on all purchases in the Etsy shop with code HAPPY3 now until midnight 12:00 AM EST on Tuesday, November 1, 2011.

And don't forget the enter the giveaway (details below)!

This Saturday, October 29, will be the third anniversary of the day I opened my Etsy account.  Andy and I had sold vintage in shops and online for several years before then, but I truly didn't start having so much fun doing it until Etsy entered my life.

To celebrate, we'll be sharing a sale code with those of you fabulous friends and customers who follow me here, on my Twitter, and on the Small Earth Vintage Facebook page.  I'll be sharing the code tomorrow, and it will be valid through Monday, October 31.

I'll also be holding a giveaway for $30.00 toward any purchase in the Small Earth Vintage Etsy shop.  To enter, leave a comment on this blog post telling me what you'd like to see more of on the blog or in the Etsy shop.  Only one comment per person, please.  You can get a secondary entry by tweeting a link to the giveway (be sure include my Twitter handle, @SmallEarthVtg, so I know about your tweet), but again, just one secondary entry per person, please.  I'll stop counting comments at midnight 12:00 am EST on Tuesday, November 1, and will then randomly choose a comment, and announce the winner sometime on Tuesday.

And finally: the shop is closing in on its 2000th sale.  A special surprise will be given to the person who purchases that 2000th item.

Thanks so much to all of you--customers, readers, commenters, and friends--who have helped make the past three years so much fun!  We love you.
