Wacky Wednesday: Wacky Vintage "Stuff" from Yesterday

     This week, I've enjoyed looking back to "Yesterday" through the amazing array of vintage items available on Etsy. Of course, a LOOK at "Yesterday" wouldn't be complete without a  LISTEN! So click here to listen to  "Yesterday" by The Beattles: http://youtu.be/ONXp-vpE9eU  Beautiful! Boy! Were they hot or what?  I saw Paul McCartney in concert last year and he's still able to make young girl scream....even at 69!

     Ok, now we'll take a LOOK at some wacky vintage "stuff" from Yesterday.  Yesterday's Silhouette is an Etsy shop that describes itself as being "delighted to bring to you some of the very finest, oddest and most interesting vintage finds that Etsy has to offer". That's quite a boast, but this shop can deliver what it promises. One of the "wacky" items they offer is their

"Real Medieval Flail Weapon, Antique Weaponry, Authentic Primitive Cast Iron Spiked Ball & Chain, Collector's Item, Circa 1300-1750 RARE OOA......Check it out here and browse the other wacky and amazing things they offer at http://www.etsy.com/shop/YesterdaysSilhouette


Another of our "wacky" finds comes from the same shop. It's labeled 

"Antique Steampunk Teeth, OOAK Original Dental Cast, Creepy Metal Tooth Sculpture, Antique Dentistry Collectible, 1940's" and is an actual cast of a patient's teeth,circa 1940, complete with her name written on the bottom.  It's a wonderfully unique and "wacky" example of the awesome finds at Yesterday's Silhouette


Connie, the owner of Random Stuff, says she fell in love with crafting and "old stuff" when she spent time as a little girl with her great aunt Abi. One of her wonderfully "wacky" items is 

"Underestimatedly Freaky Weird Vintage Mink Kitty Cat Fur Pin" check it out and check out her other items at http://www.etsy.com/shop/RandomStuff


     Amber Dawn is the owner of Rocket Taco, a vintage Etsy shop full of interesting and unique items. She is an artist who likes to collect interesting vintage "stuff" and instead of letting it collect and get in the way, she likes to pass it on to her customers who benefit from her cheaper prices. One of the weird and "wacky" items in her shop is a 

"Rare Wobbly Fuzzy 1960's Gag Gift Novelty Thing. WEIRD." Browse her shop to check out more of her items at http://www.etsy.com/shop/rockettaco


There are a lot of fun, weird, and "wacky" items to be found on Etsy for collectors of all kinds. While you're browsing around on Etsy, come on over to my shops and take a look!
