Old ways of doing things often put today's energy-consuming technology and single-use, shoddy products to shame. They may save money and help maintain a more self-sufficient household. Many were disguised as figurines or carefully crafted with ornamentation; adding both utility and beauty to the home. Take pride knowing that purchasing vintage or pre-loved items directly reduces the projected manufacturing "need" to produce new products. Items here include: wind-up items & old-fashioned toys (no batteries), cotton handkerchiefs & napkins (reduce waste), covered crockery (save leftovers without single-use plastic), coasters (increase the life of your furniture), dual/multiple use items & books on sustainable practices: cooking, gardening, canning or household tips. This is one of my favourite categories!

Disclaimer: Many of the items sold are vintage or pre-loved. Quality of vintage items vary with the manufacturing methods available at the time of production. They are not made to current standards of manufacturing ... and in my opinion, that is usually a good thing! They tend to be higher quality, last longer and include more attention to detail than today's products. However, safety standards do change over time, items do deteriorate with age, and it is up to the customer to decide how they will use each product.
