New Shop Windows

If you are a regular to my shop, you know that I change my window displays each and every month. Today I am sharing my vintage sewing window and Easter window with you. I just love the paper mache' eggs in the suitcase.  They are made in Germany. From the time I put them in, I have sold three of them already. SO CUTE!  I have also added some funky Easter bonnets and an old Gund bunny.  I recently came across some vintage child's sewing machines.  The dark blue one I have never seen before.  Couldn't pass it up. At the bottom front I have a early 1900's adjustable sewing pattern made of heavy cardboard along with the original book.  This is for making Victorian clothing.  So old but so neat!  Both the Featherweight and Aqua Singer machines have both been refurbished at the sewing doctor and work great.  I own a Featherweight myself and I love it.  I hear quilters love these too.  If you are looking for vintage fabrics and patterns, I have them.  Included are 2 rolls of Chintz fabric that are large enough to do several projects.

Hope you have enjoyed seeing my displays.  This part of owning my own shop is one of my favorites.  Thanks for visiting---------------until next time--------------Shirley

Cottage style






Many new items brought to the shop today.  The windows both have a new look too. Here is a peek of some of the items I brought in.  Everyone loves Cottage Style, right?  I found an old tin pie cupboard, a small table-top one. Several new metal trays.  You can hand these on your walls as decor or use them as they were intended. New fabric and an aqua sewing machine, some REALLY COOL retro bar stools, an unusual old ash tray with a place for matches, 2 child's sewing machines, a Beatles booklet and some paper mache' easter eggs made in Germany are just a few things I have added to the shop.  Not all of these treasures are in this set of pictures so stop in and take a look.  I will be there this weekend.   This super nice couple decided to take home the Old Crow.  Hope you enjoy him!

Fun Times With Vintage Hats and Glasses

Yesterday a set of twins visited the shop.  One is from Iowa and the other from Minnesota.  They are spending the weekend in Galena to celebrate their birthday.

They had a blast trying on the vintage hats and glasses.

Thanks for stopping in ladies and have a great birthday!

Vintage Shop Want Book

Have you visited my shop and was looking for something specific?  Perhaps I had something and you were looking for the same but maybe a different color?  We only had one and you wanted four.  Let me know.  We can add your contact information in our "Want Book".  Even though it may not be on the shelf, I may have what your looking for and can bring it in for you.  Also when I'm out "picking" I keep in mind what people are searching for.

Just ask whomever is working to add an entry for you.

Keep in mind that we are currently open Friday-Monday for the winter.  All That's Vintage is located at 212 N. Main Street, Galena, IL.  You can leave a message on the store phone with questions or inquiries, 815-777-2310.  If your traveling from out of town be sure to check my Facebook page if the weather appears to be uncertain.  The page is kept up-to-date with closings due to inclement weather.

Have a great Superbowl weekend!
