2013 Route 11 Yard Crawl Highlights

Hello, My Friends!~~

Another Route 11 Yard Crawl is in the books! This was the 4th time we did the 45 miles between Stephen's City and New Market, VA. Despite the couple of hours of light rain our enthusiasm was not dampened.

We began, this year, in the northern part of the route in Stephen's City.

The Family Drive-In a little south of town had a nice cluster of vendors facing the big blank screen. Music was piped into the area via the car speakers on poles between each vendor spot. Fun!

I did not buy this full box of somewhat creepy doll heads.

I did not buy the various clucking poultry or rabbits available. Although they were so cute to look at!

We saw a lot of these charming pale pink flowers all along the route. They are a type of Amaryllis called Naked Ladies.

We filled up the back of the Subaru with all sorts of goodies! Our teenage son found quite a lot of vintage cideo games and action figures. I found great vintage goods for using in future projects as well as fun vintage goodies for you! I have just listed them in Dime Store Chic. Some of the fresh found good include:

A fun vintage USA game board! Note there is no Alaska and Hawaii.

A trio of vintage 1940's-50's farmer's ledgers.

A FUN vintage Li'l Stinker game!

These goodies and MORE and fresh in Dime Store Chic!

Thanks for stopping by, and remember to stop by Dime Store Chic on September 3rd for LOTS of handmade goods!

XXOO, Beth

BIG Change on The Way!

Hello, My Friends!~~~

After a long long time, I have decided to close Beth's Bagz on etsy and merge it with Dime Store Chic on etsy!

I have been running this idea around for a while and decided that it was time for a change. I began selling totes made from vintage materials on-line about 12 years ago under the name Beth's Bagz. I opened my handmade etsy shop, Beth's Bagz, in 2007. At the time I pretty much just made bags with pin cushions on the side. As time went by I found more inspirtion in makeing more items for holidays and every day all from vintage materials. I opened Dime Store Chic in 2009 to sell vintage supplies to other crafters and to lovers of vintage "Woolworthy" goods. My handmade goods evolved into more "Dime Store Chic" than "Beth's Bagz" in look and concept. So, that in mind and wanting to keep things simple for my cherished customers, I decided to begin listing handmade goods in Dime Store Chic!

This change will take place beginning tuesday, September 3rd. I have been creating a huge amount of fresh goods for your Halloween and Christmas decor, pin cushions, and, yes, totes! All of these one-of-a-kind goods will go into Dime Store Chic along with the vintage goods you usually find in the shop!

Here is a sneek peek of just a fraction of what you will find in Dime Store Chic beginning September 3rd...

 Currently residing on my studio worktable, these goods are sure to bring holiday cheer!

Gnomes can be merry too!

Whimsical one-of-a-kind totes with a fun mixture of vintage fabrics!

These and MANY other goodies will appear in Dime Store Chic beginning Tuesday, Sepember 3rd!

Please stay tuned for more announcements! Thank you!~~~XXOO, Beth
