Integrity: the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles. It's critical when selling antiques and collectibles online that you describe in detail what your customer is browsing. Of course, the best way to do this is with a photo. Since etsy only allows 5 photos for each listing I use my blog to bring you additional photos. <br />
<br />
JUST LISTED: <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/152754180/vintage-architectural-blue-prints?ref=shop_home_active">Antique Architectural Blue Prints from Garlinghouse.</a> The are an awesome find but are damaged and I wanted to make sure my customers have a good picture of the damage. They are still very good for framing or using for your craft project...<br />

<br />
The edges on the right sides are what are damaged but the rest of the blue print is in pretty good shape! If you look closely on the pictures on the listing you can see the extent of the damage. I'm always happy to answer your questions and thanks for shopping at <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/backhomeagain?ref=si_shop">Back Home Again...</a> <br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
Decorating your home with vintage style is not as easy as it they
make it look in Country Living Magazine or Home and Garden TV. I'm not a
professional but I have made some mistakes and have learned a lot over
the years. Here are some simple tips to help make it a little easier for
you...</div>
<div>
<br clear="none" /></div>
<div>
<i style="color: orange;"><span data-mce-style="text-decoration: underline;" style="text-decoration: underline;"><span data-mce-style="color: #808080; text-decoration: underline;" style="text-decoration: underline;"><b>Organize:</b></span></span></i>
Don't let the clutter of your vintage collections take over your house.
Organize by item, color or anyway that floats your boat but don't let
it get out of control. A beautifully displayed book case or curio
cabinet are good ways to contain the clutter. Use unconventional items
as well: old trophies, glass jars {think Ball jars}, old crates or
vintage baskets all make great vessels for holding your stuff {referred
to by some as junk}.</div>
<div>
<br clear="none" /></div>
<div>
<span data-mce-style="text-decoration: underline;" style="color: orange; text-decoration: underline;"><i><b><span data-mce-style="color: #808080; text-decoration: underline;" style="text-decoration: underline;">Mix it up:</span></b></i></span>
Don't be afraid to mix old with new. A reproduction found at the right
price can be a great addition to your vintage home decor, especially
when it comes to furniture. I sometimes find that even though antique or
vintage furniture can look awesome the "worn torn" appeal doesn't
always hold up well to my kids. I use to think that it all had to be old
but I've gotten over that. Once i realized that no one really cared
but me and I was so stressed out over something breaking I decided to
let all that go.</div>
<div>
<br clear="none" /></div>
<div>
<span data-mce-style="text-decoration: underline;" style="color: orange; text-decoration: underline;"><i><b><span data-mce-style="color: #808080; text-decoration: underline;" style="text-decoration: underline;">Vignette:</span></b></i></span>
The vignette is an easy way to pull mix matched vintage or antique
pieces together for display. There is an art to it and it may take some
time to "get it right" but don't give up. Start by pulling out all the
vintage pieces you have laying around: antique books, vintage pottery,
small photos etc. Then pick the spot you want to use for your vignette:
hall table, coffee table, book case etc.. Clear off the spot and get
started with the vintage pieces you've just found in your home! Play
with the variation in sizes, layering and color.</div>
<div>
<br clear="none" /></div>
<div>
<span data-mce-style="text-decoration: underline;" style="color: orange; text-decoration: underline;"><i><b><span data-mce-style="color: #808080; text-decoration: underline;" style="text-decoration: underline;">Stay Eclectic:</span></b></i></span>
I have found that staying eclectic with a thread that pulls your
antique and vintage finds together is the best way to go. I love
Mid-century design but too much of it and your house either starts to
look like a museum or an episode of Leave it to Beaver. I stick to
straight lined furniture for the most part with the occasional ornate
piece thrown in. I also find that by staying eclectic I have more
opportunity to snatch up great finds at great prices.</div>
<div>
<br clear="none" /></div>
<div>
<span data-mce-style="text-decoration: underline;" style="color: orange; text-decoration: underline;"><i><b><span data-mce-style="color: #808080; text-decoration: underline;" style="text-decoration: underline;">Be Fearless:</span></b></i></span>
Seriously it's just decorating your house. I have found myself in the
past paralyzed when it comes to taking chances on my home decor. The
fear of getting it wrong can be so overwhelming that you stop trying. So
what if you have to move the chair to another room in the house because
it isn't working with your vintage table. So what if your Russel Wright
is reproduction and not the original. As a good friend of mine once
said, if the price is right and you love it the rest doesn't matter!</div>
<div>
<br clear="none" /></div>
<div>
<span data-mce-style="color: #808080;" style="color: orange;"><i><span data-mce-style="text-decoration: underline;" style="text-decoration: underline;"><b>Paint:</b></span></i></span>
I know a lot of people {perhaps you're one of them} consider it a sin
to paint old or vintage furniture {certainly antique}. I say if it gets
that piece out of the land fill and in to your living room, have at it.
If it's the perfect piece at the perfect price but not the perfect
color; slap on a coat of paint. The above photo of that fabulous painted
farmhouse cabinet is an example of utilizing paint on vintage furniture
to bring it to life. You'll never convince me in a million years that
the coat of yellow paint didn 't save it from obscrutiy.</div>
<div>
<br clear="none" /></div>
<div>
There's
nod doubt about it; decorating with antiques or vintage finds can be
harder than it looks. Don't let the specifics overwhelm you and remember
you're not performing brain surgery so making a mistake is certainly an
option!</div>

If you were raised in Indiana during the 60s or 70s, you no doubt had a G. C. Murphy's in your town or in close proximity. We use to refer to it simply as "the dime store". My sister and I spent a fair amount of time at Murphy's,because our Aunt Carol worked there. Aunt Carol didn't have any kids or husband, she didn't even have a pet so she spoiled us rotten. We'd walk in the front door of Murphy's and go directly to the candy counter. The wood floors would creek under our steps and every person there knew us. The candy counter seemed huge to us. It was square and you could walk all around the display case admiring the yummy candy behind the glass case. It was sold by the pound or the piece. A clerk would walk in to the square candy counter, scoop up our order and serve it to us in a white paper bag. My favorite was the chocolate covered nuts. Then we'd head down to Aunt Carol's office (she was the bookkeeper) totally oblivious to the fact that someone needed to pay for the candy. We'd stop and admire the gold fish in the pet department, browse the toy department and then down we'd go to the basement to see Aunt Carol. It didn't occur to us until years later that Aunt Carol paid for our candy, no questions asked! <br />

I was thrilled to discover that others had the same wonderful memories of Murphy's that I do. Jason Togyer`s book "For the Love of Murphy's: The Behind-The-Counter Story of a Great American Retailer" certainly pushes my nostalgia button. For more about the book and to see additional pictures of G.C. Murphy's stores check out the web site <a href="http://www.gcmurphy.org/book.html">G.C.

Grandma’s Apron<br />
by Tina Trivett<br />
<br />
The strings were tied, it was freshly washed, and maybe even pressed.<br />
For Grandma, it was everyday to choose one when she dressed.<br />
The simple apron that it was, you would never think about;<br />
the things she used it for, that made it look worn out.<br />
She may have used it to hold some wildflowers that she’d found.<br />
Or to hide a crying child’s face when a stranger came around.<br />
Imagine all the little tears that were wiped with just that cloth.<br />
Or it became a potholder to serve some chicken broth.<br />
She probably carried kindling to stoke the kitchen fire.<br />
To hold a load of laundry, or to wipe the clothesline wire.<br />
When canning all her vegetables, it was used to wipe her brow.<br />
You never know, she might have used it to shoo flies from the cow.<br />
She might have carried eggs in from the chicken coop outside.<br />
Whatever chore she used it for, she did them all with pride.<br />
When Grandma went to heaven, God said she now could rest.<br />
I’m sure the apron that she chose, was her Sunday best.<br />
<br />

<br />
As you are getting ready for your holiday break and reorganizing for the upcoming new year, here's some ideas to think about.<br />
<br />
#1 <b>Stop with the comparisons</b>. Your work or your store is unique to you and you only. Constantly comparing your work or your store to others will make you miserable and block creativity. There will always be a store that looks better and is better. There will always be a store that is worse than yours. Don't waste your time comparing yourself to others.<br />
<br />
# 2 <b>Stop networking</b>. Yep that's right. Stop wasting your time on facebook, twitter and your online “friends”. I'm all for being friendly and meeting new people but the truth is I think it's kind of weird that you can know personal details about an individual you wouldn't recognize on the street. Kind of creepy...<br />
<br />
#3 <b>Stop over thinking everything</b>. From where to place the button on a bag to picking out the perfect logo for your store, over thinking can paralyze you and keep you stuck in purgatory. Take a chance, go with your gut and stop over thinking every decision you make. <br />
<br />
#4 <b>Stop work that brings no satisfaction</b>. Maybe it's a demanding customer or dead end project that's going no where fast. If a work task is creating anxiety and not satisfying any need you have, stop doing it. Life is too short...<br />
<br />
#5 <b>Stop jumping through hoops</b>. Personally I refuse to change my store every time etsy says jump (which was a bunch in 2011). Change is not necessarily a bad thing but after awhile you can find yourself chasing your tail. When etsy says jump, take a breath and wait for the dust to settle before you make any changes to your store. <br />
<br />
I've been on etsy for a few years now and I think 2012 is going to be a good one. Etsy made some great changes in 2011 (don't you love having those stats) and we are in a good position for 2012. Eliminating these activities will save you some serious time and put you in a position to have bigger profits. If you have an idea for something you can stop please be sure to leave a comment...backhomeagainhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01155454943919294136noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1580121036295583596.post-32072775238788189512011-09-11T20:23:00.000-07:002011-09-11T20:23:08.547-07:00Shop Update: Antique Laundry BasketThese <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/81573974/vintage-wire-laundry-basket">antique wire laundry baskets</a> are a great addition to your home décor.

Simple Place Mat Tutorial<br />
<br />
These simple place mats are a great way to use up your scraps and they make wonderful handmade gifts for that someone special. You're only limited by your imagination!<br />
<br />
::Get Started::<br />
<br />
Cut 8 - 2 1/2" x 5" (6.4 cm X 12.7 cm) pieces to create the patchwork piece.<br />
<br />
Cut 1 - 17" x 9" (43.2 cm X 22.9 cm) piece for bottom of front.<br />
<br />
Cut 1 - 17" x 13 1/2" (43.2 cm X 34.3 cm) interfacing.<br />
<br />
Cut 1 - 17" x 13 1/2" (43.2cm X 34.3 cm) piece for the back side. <br />
<br />
I recommend using muslin, vintage tablecloths or coordinating quilt fabric. I used a combination of quilt fabric scraps and linen. But you can really let your imagination go wild by recycling clothes that have seen better days!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ClH53Z1kdEQ/TlAjliYvDlI/AAAAAAAAAQI/w9MmHANWayY/s1600/0191.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="300" width="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ClH53Z1kdEQ/TlAjliYvDlI/AAAAAAAAAQI/w9MmHANWayY/s400/0191.jpg" /></a></div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cy0nVe558YU/TlAjqMLjruI/AAAAAAAAAQQ/cGve5a-rLWM/s1600/0771.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="300" width="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cy0nVe558YU/TlAjqMLjruI/AAAAAAAAAQQ/cGve5a-rLWM/s400/0771.jpg" /></a></div><br />
:: Start Sewing::<br />
<br />
First, create the patchwork piece for the top of your place mat. With right sides together and using 1/4" seam allowance sew the scrap pieces together. Iron your seams to the side not open and then iron the seams on the front of the piece.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-tUahp1nlq3o/TlAlq0aJdMI/AAAAAAAAAQg/wVTV8WdgTKA/s1600/1371.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="300" width="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-tUahp1nlq3o/TlAlq0aJdMI/AAAAAAAAAQg/wVTV8WdgTKA/s400/1371.jpg" /></a></div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-d3iexAR85sE/TlAlvI-kWII/AAAAAAAAAQo/wC6-_oOFMv4/s1600/0401.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="236" width="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-d3iexAR85sE/TlAlvI-kWII/AAAAAAAAAQo/wC6-_oOFMv4/s400/0401.jpg" /></a></div><br />
Second, with right sides together sew the bottom piece to the top patchwork piece using a 1/4" seam allowance. Iron the seam on a hot, hot setting.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-DQ549NaiLU8/TlAnZBkJ-MI/AAAAAAAAAQw/ao5hGaug9VM/s1600/043.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="300" width="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-DQ549NaiLU8/TlAnZBkJ-MI/AAAAAAAAAQw/ao5hGaug9VM/s400/043.JPG" /></a></div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-W1VskkaBuWQ/TlAnc1Ixq_I/AAAAAAAAAQ4/A_G4mIzMnJU/s1600/057.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="300" width="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-W1VskkaBuWQ/TlAnc1Ixq_I/AAAAAAAAAQ4/A_G4mIzMnJU/s400/057.JPG" /></a></div><br />
Now attach the interfacing to the back of the front, using the manufacturer instructions. Or cut a matching piece of flannel and use it for your interfacing. It will be less stiff and more absorbent.<br />
<br />
Finally, with right sides together pin the front of the place mat to the back of the place mat, leaving a 3" - 4" opening so you can turn the place mat right side out. Stitch 1/2" around the place mat, paying special attention not to sew the opening closed. At the opening back stitch several times. This will keep the opening from ripping as you pull the place mat right side out. <br />
<br />
::Finish::<br />
<br />
Turn your place mat right side out and press. Top stitch 1/4" around the entire place mat and voila, your finished. Feel free to experiment with the top stitching! <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-63hQ7rp5khk/TlAppFpwNZI/AAAAAAAAARA/LpfhV6vlntk/s1600/008.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="300" width="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-63hQ7rp5khk/TlAppFpwNZI/AAAAAAAAARA/LpfhV6vlntk/s400/008.JPG" /></a></div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-iN8BtwwVTsk/TlApxm7fSjI/AAAAAAAAARI/5dGL5pfomdA/s1600/096.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="236" width="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-iN8BtwwVTsk/TlApxm7fSjI/AAAAAAAAARI/5dGL5pfomdA/s400/096.JPG" /></a></div><br />
::Notes::<br />
<br />
:: These place mats were designed to work with vintage dinnerware so they may be a tad bit smaller than what your use to.<br />
<br />
::Try this with your vintage tablecloth scraps or use some scraps from your grandmas scrap box for a special touch.<br />
<br />
::Don't worry if you or your place mat aren't perfect. See the beauty in the imperfection and move on. Don't know how or why but one of mine seems crooked. I'm not worrying about it.<br />
<br />
::For best results, use a rotary cutter instead of scissors. You'll have straighter edges to sew on.<br />
<br />
::For a soft feel, use flannel instead of fusable interfacing. For more stability, use the fusable interfacing.<br />
<br />
::To make a "pattern" I use muslin to cut out my pieces. I find that's easier than measuring each and every piece.<br />

I pride myself on packing my items at <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/backhomeagain?ref=si_shop">Back Home Again</a> to arrive in one piece. But this week I made a mistake and something arrived damaged. I immediately refunded my customer's money and apologized. When my customer offered to return the item, I said no thank you. I will never ask a customer to be inconvenienced by my mistake. Here's my best tips for great customer service<br />
<br />
1) Make every effort up front to ensure that your customer has nothing to complain about. Dust off your items, pack well and be honest with descriptions, double check to see that the mail address is accurate. Sloppiness will lead to poor customer service quicker than anything!<br />
<br />
2) Ask your customer what they want. Offer options in taking care of a problem. Tell your customer I can do choice A, B, or C which one works best for YOU.<br />
<br />
3) Take responsibility. At Back Home Again, the buck stops with me. I'm the chef, cook and bottle washer, only I can make it right!<br />
<br />
4) Have clear policies. If you haven't already, officially document your return policies and put them in your shop's policies. It will save you headaches and set the stage for good customer service. <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/backhomeagain/policy">Here's mine...</a><br />
<br />
5)Connect with your customer. For me personally, this is the biggest of all customer service concepts. I love to connect in a personal way with the person on the other end. Online we do this with the language we choose, returning e-mails as quickly as possible and expressing empathy. “I am disappointed and sorry that your item arrived damaged.”<br />
<br />
There is no big mystery to great customer service and it doesn't take an MBA to figure it out. Treat others as you like to be treated and understand how customer service affects your bottom line. An unhappy customer will not only stop shopping with you {we all love return customers} but they are likely to tell their friends. In the online world, this could mean a posting in a forum or a blog posting that alerts others to your poor customer service. And, unlike a face to face conversation, the online written word lives on forever for all to see. Spend 15 minutes today thinking about ways to improve your customer service and feel free to leave your comments or tips!<br />

<br />
It doesn't matter if you're a serious antique collector or someone who can't get enough of vintage collecting, you have an awareness of your nostalgia hot buttons. The treasured items that connect us to our past and our family. Those warm childhood memories that are tucked away in our minds that remind us of being free to chase fire flies, eat ice cream without worry or set on grandma's front porch and watch time go by. We like being surrounded by items that make us feel at home or, perhaps, bring us comfort. We like the thrill of the hunt and the excitement over discovering that rare hard to find piece. I don't have to tell you how great that feels. Yep, we are unique indeed. So here's to the collector both vintage and antique. May you be blessed in finding that rare gem that will make your collection complete! <br />

It's that time of the year when summer is winding down and <a href="http://backhomeagain.etsy.com">Back Home Again</a> is winding up. I generally take the summer off from my online adventures to be with my kids and enjoy life off line. I also spend that time searching for new inventory to bring you. Today I listed this <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/79808941/vernonware-flower-pot-gingham">fabulous and rare flower pot from Vernonware of California! <br />

The creative ideas are flowing and you are on fire. All of a sudden, the kids need extra help with homework, work is stressful, pets are sick and before you know it it's been days since you've posted on your blog. So I'm wondering, how do others do it. How do you stay focused? How do you keep the creative blog juices flowing? How do keep from feeling somehow like you failed when you get side tracked? <br />
<br />

<br />
These days etsy is all about serendipity which suits me just fine {although I do wish I would be found more often}. The shear size of etsy can make being found and finding others a bit overwhelming and relying on circles, hearts and treasuries to promote your work can seem a little silly at times. But I have to say I had a serendipity moment the other day when {out of the blue} a designer included one of my items in her treasury. I clicked on to her shop to find an amazing collection of jewelry designed with a vintage vibe. <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/nancywallisdesigns?ref=pr_shop_more">Nancy Wallis Designs out of Canada</a> has a beautiful collection of jewelry that makes my heart sing. I have a couple of things hearted for my next payday and I want to share her work with my readers! <br />

I was browsing etsy last week {<a href="http://backhomeagainvintage.blogspot.com/2011/04/lesson-in-apron-history.html">working on my Vintage Apron article</a>} and stumbled upon this amazing store with <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/69608119/queen-mother-presents-the-empress-apron">handmade aprons</a>. Created with vintage reproduction fabric and embellished with vintage jewelry and beaded buttons, these handmade aprons are sure to remind you of the joy and comfort of being Back Home Again {Royal Style}. <br />

Mistakes happen. Yes indeed they do. I was watching an interview with Butler's basketball coach Brad Stevens once {yes I am a big college basketball junkie} and something he said really resonated with me. He tells his kids that they are going to make mistakes so don't try to play to perfection because that can be paralyzing {I'm paraphrasing here}. <a href="http://sethgodin.typepad.com/">Seth Godin wrote on his blog</a> the other day “ you can't have success unless you're prepared to have failure”. We get stuck in the “what ifs”. If you're stuck in the what ifs, consider this...<br />
<br />
1) What if I just do nothing? I never open my etsy store, I never loose that extra 10 pounds I'm carrying around, I never set that booth up at the local antique mall. What if I just set here in front of this computer screen and let my fear of failing hold me back? Are you prepared to set on the sidelines the rest of your life?<br />
<br />
2) What's the worse that could happen? Let's be honest about the this. I'm not a brain surgeon so really what's the worse that could happen? If I make a mistake, chances are no one is going to loose their life! Are you prepared to visualize the worse that could happen and let go it it?<br />
<br />
3) What if people laugh at me? Often we get stuck in the “what will people think of me” mode. Is my mom going to think I'm crazy for thinking I can make money from my talents or how about a husband that “just doesn't get it”. Are you letting other peoples attitudes get in the way of your failing? <br />
<br />
Go out there today and make a mistake. I don't care if it's sewing the zipper upside down or pricing an antique way low and taking it on the chin. Do something to fail today {success is right around the corner}. <br />

New this week at <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/73325436/vintage-quilt-feed-sack-1930s">Back Home Again</a> {the shop}<br />
<br />
A <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/73325436/vintage-quilt-feed-sack-1930s">tied quilt created from feed sack fabric</a>. My hunch is that the fabric is from the 1930s but it wasn't put together until much later. The reason I say this is that the yarn looks very synthetic to me. Just my hunch. Either way, it really reminds me of the joy and comfort of being Back Home Again!<br />

A <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/73293469/vintage-electric-sunbeam-coffeemaker">fabulous Sunbeam coffeemaker with tray, sugar and creamer</a>. It's the popular C30A model from the 1940s and is in excellent condition with all the bells and whistles. It's a wonderful addition to your art deco or mid century collection.backhomeagainhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01155454943919294136noreply@blogger.com0
