Emily Lynch Vintage

Etsy: Your place to buy & sell all things handmade EmilyLynch.etsy.com

Just a look at some of the newest items in my Etsy shop.

Emily: Quick Books :(

Learning Quick Books makes me feel slow. Sorry for the lack of posts...I am trying to get current for year's end!

Emily: Pillow tags

Le Owner is so industrious that often when I start something new I start by asking her how she did it. Such is true about the labels I wanted for the pillows I am planning for my Etsy shop. I thought, "why go to all the trouble of designing pillows with carefully planned details if once they are in the world it is not evident where they came from?" aka "where my props at?" I looked online and got a few bids that were way too high in both quantity and price. Then I remembered the darling pillows sold exclusively at SITE, with labels saying as much. So I emailed Le Owner and she shared this website with me. Thanks, lady!

Emily: Feed Sack Pillows

I have been collecting vintage feed sacks for over two years now, and I am about to have a bunch of them made into pillows for my Etsy shop. Although some may find it ironic that I am spending more for the fill than I did on the face fabric, I think (hope) they will be charming, casual and comfortable - or as I often say when with clients "friendly".

Emily: my gift wrap

I believe that vintage gifts are the best ones; not only will the item have more character than something mass produced, but a vintage item is far greener than a new one.

I just debuted my own gift wrap for my Etsy shop and I am so happy with how it turned out. I searched far and wide to find recycled paper boxes (7"x 7" was the size I though most perfect...why do square boxes look best when wrapped?), recycled aqua tissue paper and recycled aqua metallic wrapping paper. All of this is of course adorned with custom printed "Emily Lynch vintage" ribbon that I spent a small fortune on but feel is worth every penny. And inside there is a butterfly to surprise (well, and the gift!)
