Grrl Pickers are a small group of friends who sell anything vintage that catches our fancy. We sell online through eBay and Etsy (see links on this page) and we also sell locally through Under the Bed Vintage and Collectibles (located at 386 Lindelof Ave, Stoughton, MA) and through Middleboro Antiques located in Middleboro, MA. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us by email: grrlpickers@aol.com or through our Facebook page.
Lacy came over to my house today to work on Grrl Pickers stuff and she told me that she had made a classic "rookie mistake" while picking for the shops and she showed me the items she had bought.
Probably much like her, I did not see the issue right away, these used ponies are very collectible and it looked like a great score.
Then I looked closer,
Me: "Why do they have anuses?"
While we were discussing what do do, Lacy had a brilliant idea that we think will make a rainbow from the rain of this mis-pick. We are going to make an "Island of Misfit Toys" bargain box to put in our space at Under The Bed Collectibles (Formerly Upscale Resale Gallery) at 386 Lindelof Ave, Stoughton, MA 02072.
We plan to donate the profits from the misfit box to a local children's charity, Lacy is working on finding just the right one and we are so excited that as disappointing as these were at first, she has found a way to do something awesome with them. (cocktail umbrellas not included LOL!).
Ye haw!
(We will update this post as soon as we fill, set up the box in the shop and decide on a charity)
We found this vintage magazine while out shopping this past weekend. Lacy and I laughed at how times sure changed from the time this was published until the time when we were reading Hit Parader in the 1980's.
Hit Parader in the 1980's was definitely written with a male reader in mind. There NEVER would have been an ad for feminine hygiene products in later versions of the magazine!
This year we are having a quiet socially distanced Thanksgiving but I am also digging through old slides of both my family and my husband's family.
My aunt and uncle sent me a check for my 50th birthday this year which was so sweet and unexpected that I knew I had to buy something very special with the gift. I had wanted a device to make slides into computer photos for a while and this year on my birthday, it seemed the perfect time to get the gift I never had the extra funds to get for myself.
I am absolutely beside myself that this year above all, the whole family can share in my gift to me.
Lacy and I sincerely hope you all are having a peaceful Thanksgiving this year and looking forward to the celebrations that will be had when it is safe for us all to gather together once more.
This is a vintage photo of one of Laura's husband's family members enjoying the traditional feast of the day.
May all of you have a great day today remembering good times past and looking forward with anticipation for the good times that will fill our future!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
