featured seller friday : sunny day vintage

Happy Friday!

Today I have a little interview with Sunny from SunnyDayVintage on etsy. All the items in the shop are beautiful & the photos are extra pretty.


Enjoy the little interview with Sunny below along with some of my favorite items from SunnyDayVintage...


Where can we find you?

I’m on Etsy: www.etsy.com/shop/SunnyDayVintage




How did you get started on Etsy?

I was a casual buyer for a couple years. One day I was browsing and realized there was a vintage category and the proverbial light bulb went off! I've always been a collector and I love going to estate sales. Since I find so much great stuff and can’t keep it all, I knew I’d found a way to feed my passion.



(this is slightly creepy...but i love it extra because of its eeriness!)


How do you find items for Sunny Day Vintage?

I shop at Chicago estate sales every weekend and focus on pieces that are well made, in wonderful colors, iconic for their time or things that just appeal to me. I travel to Wisconsin often, so I hit the sales there too. Typically, I find that if I like it, chances are good someone else will too.



How did you develop a successful shop without using Facebook or Twitter?

I’m obsessive! I’m constantly in my shop, tweaking, analyzing, re-shooting and re-writing. I try to focus on mint or near-mint pieces. Obviously vintage means old, and there will often be wear, but I try for pieces in the best possible condition. I also advertise off Etsy on blogs that reach my target market, and I analyze the views and bounce rates to be sure I’m getting good value for my ad dollars. I also occasionally write blog posts for other bloggers, which brings me additional exposure.





What kinds of vintage items do you like best?

I have a weakness for vintage barware, colored glass, paper goods and souvenirs. And I bring home anything I find in turquoise – it’s my favorite color!



(i love these!)


I want to thank Sunny for taking the time to share her story with me!

Check out Sunny's shop & you will not be disappointed!
