Tickle Your Fancy, Charm Your Heart

This month's featured seller is an Etsy pal and another fellow member of team Vintage Vertigo.  She joined Etsy October of 2011 and has not looked back.  If you've met and/or read her "About" page, you'll find she has a passion like us for all that is vintage.  In reading said page I found myself thinking the same in which my home as a child was filled with antiquities, vintagicities, and how too my parents cruised the fleamarkets, 2nd hand, and thrift stores in hopes to find something special.  Here with no further ado, I'd like to introduce to you...
