The first steps

Hello and welcome to my blog, created to coincide with my experiences selling on etsy. Recently I was given the opportunity to sell some vintage items online. A family friend past away last December and had a large wardrobe that she kept in great condition. We were able to go through the items and discovered some great pieces and it was suggested that an online sale may be better than donating or selling these items to secondhand stores. This is where I came in--I'm still a college student and I only work a few days a week so I have some free time and could use some extra money here and there. However, I didn't start this with much knowledge on vintage items, selling online or shipping--3 essential things needed to sell vintage online. This blog is going to follow not only my process on selling products, but my learning experience as well. I hope to share what I learn about selling online, vintage items and the process of shipping along with other things I may not even realize I don't know yet, with other online sellers and lovers of vintage items. Meanwhile this blog can also hold the remembrance of a woman I wish I got to know better when she was alive. R.I.P.

It's hard to choose just one item from the list, but here is a Lilli diamond designer dress in orange that I adore--it comes with a belt and a giant bow that you can attatch/deattatch if you want. And it's in Mint condition!   If you want to check out some more great Vintage finds visit my Etsy--TimelessthreadsSF  and follow my shop, because i try to add a few items every day. It takes me a while to upload my items because I'm still learning about vintage and try to research the style/era/brand etc. to price accurately and describe to the best of my ability. Enjoy! <3--Kelly

Treasury, The Beatles and a little history

I don't know how many of you are familiar with making treasuries on Etsy, but I know when I first started on Etsy I kept seeing all these treasuries and my question was: How do you make a treasury? I went through and taught myself, but boy it's harder than it looks to make a really good, Front page worthy treasury. I remember my first one I made back in November--it took me probably 2 hours (this was before I thought OH hello-'right click' 'copy link source') Anyways I was pretty proud of myself, but it didn't get a lot of attention right away because I didn't have many followers/wasn't part of any teams etc--then suddenly I started getting all these views and comments and people were saying things like "great fp" and I was like 'What is a FP??' I don't remember how I figured it out, but I went to the home page and WAHLAH- There was my name! So exciting!!I definitely wanted to make more, but the time was not working for me. ...

Chances are, you're here because you want to find the perfect 90's inspiration for your wardrobe! *Disclaimer: There are affiliate links in this post that help monetize my blog**  Today I took 8  outfits from 5 iconic characters of the 90's and found similar pieces to recreate their famous looks.  I've taken looks from Rachel & Monica of Friends, Cher from Clueless, Topanga of Boy meets World, and Kelly from Saved by the Bell.
