Leaving on a Jet Plane: Miss Eileen’s Etsy Picks 6.3.11

Summer is just about here and with summer comes vacation. I heard on the news that a lot of people are flying to their destinations instead of driving. Someone was quoted as saying the cost of gas for their car made it worth it to fly (I guess that depends on how many people are in the car and how much time you have for a trip). Anyway, I thought it would be fun to look at Etsy finds with a jet plane, taking off for vacation, theme. Here goes:

OK, so what do you think? I still got that John Denver song playing in my head. At least it’s a good song. Vote for your favorite. Don’t forget to tell your friends. Poll will be in the upper left corner.

Looking for authentic vintage sewing patterns? Don’t forget GoofingOff on Etsy or Artfire. Fabric, modern patterns, and sewing supplies are there, too. The Artfire shop specialized in Full Figure patterns.  For vintage go to MissEileen on Etsy. I’ll be listing vintage clothes as well as goodies for the boudoir. Yummy! Dan’s painting again so check the shops for vintage house wares brought back to life. There’s even some vintage belt buckles in MetalWoodsnWater on Etsy for the guy in your life.

  3. Thanks for looking. The crayon wallet is a very good idea. giving little ones something to do gives peace to all when traveling.
    The eye mask looks scrumptious. Great for an overnight flight or a motel room with lights everywhere (or so it seems).

  4. I can't even pick, they are all so great! And it would be tacky to vote for mine, wouldn't it? (ha) Thanks for including "Spin" in the group.

    Well...maybe that first one...the tray : )

  5. Not tacky at all. Now if I vote it would be totally unfair, unethical, and wrong. There's nothing wrong with being proud of your work...and bragging a little. Love it! The photo makes me think of Amelia Earhardt.
