After Christmas Sale!

Christmas has come and gone, and I hope you all had a wonderful holiday!  Now that we are approaching the end of the year, I'm sure that all of you are looking forward at the new year ahead of us, and making plans and resolutions. I hope it will be a year of good things for all of you!

I have decided to kick off the new year with a sale! It is officially marked on items in the artwork and home decor section of my Etsy store, but I have been doing some markdowns in other stores as well.

 When the USPS raises their shipping rates again in January, these items will probably be more significantly affected than some of the other sections of the store (because they tend to be heavier). That seems like a good incentive to buy now, before they end up costing you more (and while you can benefit from the sale price as well).

Here are some highlights from the sale (while supplies last!):

https://www.etsy.com/listing/94198225/on-sale-teal-blue-glass-candle-holder?ref=shop_home_feat
These Morgantown blown glass "patio lights" from the Federal pattern are greatly discounted!  Made in the 50s, these pieces have a peacock blue color and a clear, bell ring because they are leaded glass.

https://www.etsy.com/listing/158788817/on-sale-rare-salesman-sample-metal-bowl
This extremely rare (possibly one of a kind!) Jeanette Iris and Herringbone pattern metal bowl is very deeply discounted, about $85 off. My research uncovered one example each of solid metal bowls like this, in other Jeanette patterns, although there is no record of glass companies making metal bowls at all! It must be some kind of salesman sample or mockup, made of an unknown pitted and worn metal. Follow the link to read more about it!

Did you wish you had a more stylish carry-on than a ratty backpack during your holiday travels this season? Here is an affordable powder blue American Tourister bag from the early 80s. It is quite roomy, but fits perfectly into an overhead bin!
https://www.etsy.com/listing/126812245/on-sale-framed-needlepoint-butterfly?ref=shop_home_active
Looking for something to dress up the room for spring? How about this framed butterfly needlepoint tapestry, probably from the 50s or 60s.

And now for one of the "less advertised" sales. This pretty set of Metlox Red Rooster pattern salt and pepper shakers has been marked down AND set for free US shipping (all other shipping destinations have discounted shipping rates, as well).

http://www.artfire.com/ext/shop/product_view/CandyAppleCrafts/4775331/Avon_Dueling_Pistol_Bottle_for_Tai_Winds_Mens_Cologne_in_Box/Collectibles/Glass
This dueling pistol cologne bottle from Avon has received a lot of attention lately. Nope, it is not a gun at all! Leave a comment and get a discount on your purchase!

http://www.artfire.com/ext/shop/product_view/candyapplecrafts/2637854/fire_king_anchor_hocking_divided_serving_dish__golden_shell/vintage/glass/dishes
If you intend to do some entertaining in the coming year (or finish decorating a room), I have 2 of these white divided serving dishes from Fire King. They are from the 50s-era "Golden Shell" pattern (you should see the back!) and are edged in real gold. Leave a comment, get a discount!

http://www.artfire.com/ext/shop/product_view/candyapplecrafts/3663146/jyoto_occupied_japan_china_dinner_plate_orange_and_floral_rim_vintage/vintage/kitchen___serving/tableware/plates
Here is another lovely vintage plate in untouched condition. It was made in postwar Japan, and seems to have been part of a rare pattern from a company named Jyoto. I have marked it down 20%! It is well worth a closer look.

http://candyapplecrafts.ecrater.com/p/15754131/on-sale-pair-english-wall-chargers
I just marked down this attractive pair of metal wall chargers from England, made in the medieval style. They are now 20% off!

http://candyapplecrafts.ecrater.com/p/15534170/on-sale-daher-lithographed-metal-tray
This lovely Daher lithographed metal tray is also 20% off. Lovely piece to decorate a wall, but can also be used as a serving tray or catch-all tray in your home.

There are many more things than this on sale right now. I hope you'll stop by before the year-end sale ends. Follow the links and go exploring!
