| Bloom Madly, Shop Gladly: The Citizen Rosebud Etsy SHOP is officially open for 2013. |
My 2013 #SHOPSECONDHANDFIRST pledge has officially begun. This year, I am committed in making smart, sustainable shopping decisions and have pledge to "Shop Secondhand First." For those who care to join me, you can take the pledge HERE.
You may or may not know, but I'm trying to earn my keep by selling sustainable goods, aka vintage and pre-loved items, in various venues. While I hope to eventually establish my own real life shop/e-commerce website, but until then, you can find my choicest vintage in my Etsy shop, and the best of my pre-loved goodies on Ebay. You may also be aware that many of your friends, family and neighbors are also selling on online (yay small business!), and I'd like to invite those who are part of the Rosebud community to share their shops here. My intent is to publish a list of all of our shops, so we all can support each other throughout the year.
Here's a very short list of fellow Rosebuds who sell vintage and secondhand items online. Please bookmark their pages, and when you feel like shopping, step into their virtual boutiques and have a looksie.

Do me a favor love and email your info to me. I need an easy way to list and keep track - a folder of emails is how I'm doing that. Thanks!
DeleteI try Bella I really do try but I have been buying some Mod cloth lately but I do usually try second hand or handmade first!! It's just good when you stop consuming and start thinking a bit more about where is this coming from and who is really benefiting from it.
ReplyDeleteLove that leopard hat in your shop!
XXOO
Your shop looks great, I need to buy less of everything this year though - house purchase coming up! Great idea to support other small sellers xx
ReplyDeleteLove this feature, Bella. Your floral jacket on eBay is sooooo gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteAlways great to have more places to buy cool secondhand stuff - congrats! I go through periods of time where I only buy secondhand, and not even go into stores that sell new, but then in the last few months I've fallen prey to some of the post-Christmas sales....
ReplyDeleteGreat list! I'm favoriting these ladies' shops right now!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful items, Bella...if I had some money I would snatch that camel coat with the Leopard collar...gorgeous! I wish you great success with this Etsy shop!
ReplyDeleteyOU KNOW HOW i FEEL ABOUT SECONDHAND. I buy no other.
ReplyDeleteMuch love and admiration, my dear sister in Seattle.

This is marvellous..you have kicked me in the backside to shop second hand more & I'm even thinking of having my own shop to use my ebay account to sell rather than shop ;) It's a great idea & I have stuff in my closet that I don't often wear, so someone should love it & then I can buy something second hand that I love too :)) Super!! xx
ReplyDeleteI pretty much buy all but underthings and some shoes (i'm hard to fit) secondhand. I'll definitely be shopping more as i lose weight. My goal is once my weight stabilizes where it wants--i'm gonna start rocking' the vintage!!
ReplyDeleteThis list will be a great start!
I'm more of a giver of good things to second hand shops or charitable organizations than a buyer.
ReplyDeleteBest of luck to you and your new shop :-)
