New vintage items just posted, check them out....







Mounted brass trophy deer/stag head

I came across a great find last weekend. It is a mounted trophy brass deer/stag head. Talk about no animal cruelty! This is the first time I've ever seen anything like this in all my vintage hunting adventures. I searched the internet to find ideas about how to incorporate this item into somebody's home decor and I came up with the pictures below.

I will be posting the stag/deer head in my Etsy store in the next few days. I will be pricing it for $68.00 + shipping....Let me know if you would like me to place it on reserve for you or if you have any questions by sending me an e-mail (GallowayMarket@gmail.com) ....Happy Shopping!

Welcome and thank you for visiting....

I have finally decided to stop the excuses and set up my own Etsy store. I had been contemplating doing this for way too long! However, I believe things happen when it's time for them to happen and I am excited to finally be sharing with others some of the fantastic discoveries I've made at estate sales, antique stores, thrift stores, garage sales, craigslist and auctions. I hope to win you over as a customer with the quality items in my store and have you become a friend over time.


You may be asking--Why have you decided to set up an Etsy store? And the answer is simple, I have been a lifelong admirer of antique and vintage objects. I was one of those kids who would watch Antiques Roadshow instead of cartoons. I appreciate and enjoy objects from times past because I truly believe there used to be a greater focus placed on quality and good design when creating things back then. I hope you like the items in my store as much as I do. 


Finally, As you can tell this is my first post so I ask that you please bear with me. I hope that by actively updating this blog I will also become a better writer along the way. Anyway, I am looking forward to sharing part of my life with the world.
