etsy

Do you ever notice how your best ideas come to you right before you fall asleep?

Thrifting has really become my number one obsession, hobby, and true love. The problem is, when I see something I get nostalgic for, I have a serious hard time not bringing it home with me, even if I don't necessarily need that item. I just hate to think of it sitting in that store, where it might never find its way into the hands of the person who is searching for it. So to turn my hobby into something even more rewarding (and maybe a little more lucrative), I am thinking of starting an etsy shop. (See etsy.com). Vintage items at least 20 years old are allowed on the site, and that seems to be my main focus lately. Plus the fees are way cheaper than ebay.

Now for starters, I need to come up with a shop name, and I need your help! I want to include the word "nostalgia" in the name, as I think that's sort of the central theme of what I'll be selling. Here's what I've come up with so far:

NostalgiaMama
NostalgiaCity
NostalgiaCorner
NostalgiaMedic
NostalgiaFever
NostalgicFantastic
NostalgicallySpeaking

Ok, let me know what you think. What's your favorite? Or please offer suggestions!

agreed - great idea. and i've often thought the same myself - i've totally been a picker lately. i'm so glad they put a year limit though to actually make it vintage!

i like nostalgicallyspeaking
