Antique to Vintage Sales New idea The Red Tag Sale

Here's a neat idea that I think many sites will follow.

Ruby Lane is having their first Red Tag Sale.

Ruby Lane is a site that has thousands of shop owners.

Many of the items in those shops will have a red tag logo on them.

For one day only, the red tag items will be 30 to 60% off !

It depends on what the seller decides as far as the discount price.

And the Red Tag Sale will only be for one day. 

As you all know, I have a shop on Ruby Lane, so, naturally, I am excited

about this new idea.

I will be there that day shopping for bargains, and my shop will have red tag bargains too.

This is not a paid ad and I was not asked to blog this.

I am just excited over this new idea.

Sat Sept 24th, check the Ruby Lane site for the hours and details.

The Mystery of Cherished Antiques

Wild things on Ruby Lane Wild Jewelry Style Board

The Wild and... by treasure_seeker

The latest vintage is the new hot trend

Trends come and go in both fashion and life styles.
From what I have seen on the web and in the magazines, antique items are still wonderful treasures to have and cherish, but, vintage is in, because you can use it and wear it.
Recycling is smart.
It saves you money and also prevents over loaded land fills.
So, I reccomend you visit Ruby Plaza....the shop owner son that site, offer new to vintage...it's fabulous place to browse and shop, especially the prices..some are hard to beleive low prices.
This is not an ad...you see my styleboards on this blog page are most times Ruby Lane and Ruby Plaza ...not only do I have a shop on each site, but, I browse both sites everyday.
You never know what you will see there.
Here's some links...go on, take a break and enjoy yourself
Best wishes,
Linda

Antiques on Ruby Lane Luxury to Behold

Antiques Luxury... by treasure_seeker

Can teach an old dog new tricks

I have been absent from my favorite on line haunts lately.

I usually visit the ning or social sites every day.

But, so many things have been changing on line, that I decided to try to learn some of these new things.

It all started with the new Face Book changes.

I am very protective of the RC Antiques name, so, I had several Face Books under that name such as RC Antiques on Ruby Lane. I created these face books several years back, and honestly forgot I had the extra accounts till I read about some FB accounts were going to be achieved if there is no activity on them.

Well, Ruby Lane is very important to me.

I think Ruby Lane is a site that has such wonderful ideas as to what shops that sell antique to vintage should be, so, naturally, I had to at least save that one FB account. I needed 25 members...or , " likes ".

I immediately posted my dilemma on my Linda Caricofe FaceBook and within a day, my RC Antiques on Ruby Lane FB was saved, thanks to my many on line friends.

Then, somehow, I happened upon a new type of networking and shopping. I found 2 sites that are really cool.

Polyvore is a beautiful site that is basically fashion. I am still learning the tools of that site. Notice the New York graphics below this blog. I created that using Polyvore's tools.

But the site that really captured my attention is Kaboodle.

It's a site that is for shoppers, and for people to showcase some of the items they sell.

I will caution sellers though, that Kaboodle is very sensitive to spam, so, you must be careful if you join that site just to promote your items...be sure you read the rules before posting.

I joined it as a get away retreat. I do create style boards with some of my items on them, but, I create many style boards just for the fun of creating something beautiful or something fun.

The link to the style board below is one you will enjoy...although it looks like you have to cut and paste the link, you should be able to just click on it and you will see my mermaid style board, I promise your eyes will smile, and your mouth will say, wow

I will tell you this, once you learn how to create a style board, you will be hooked..it is so much fun.

You can also blog on this site.
And it's all free, that's right, have fun for free and make wonderful friends too.

From me to you, this old dog is learning new tricks, so can you

The face behind the networking RC Antiques revealed

I have been on the Internet since 1997.

In those days, I listed items on ebay that were from our collections and the estates we would buy.

I was simply, rcantiques. It was only natural to have my email under that name and so forth.

Eventually , I also used RC Linda when signing some emails etc.

I am not college educated, just the average Joe..or, should I just refer to myself as the average person since I am a lady, not a Joe.

I've come a long ways.

Not due to survival in these hard economic times, but, due to

my unquenchable thirst to surf the net.

And therefore , as the years went by, and as I became more comfortable with the net, I began to use my face as my trademark.

It was a bold move.

But, I wanted be become human, instead of a name or market or commercial.

This move has worked well for my on line shops, RC Antiques on Ruby Lane and RC Antiques Too on Ruby Plaza, because it's nice to see who one is buying from.

I also think it has helped my blog and my videos.

My most hit videos are the ones that have myself as host, instead of the ones I enjoy creating with OneTrueMedia.

Now, let's look at today's world on the net, compared to let's say, 2 years ago.

My hard work has actually created a barrier when I want to just enjoy myself on the net.

When I join a site, due to my name, RC Antiques, or Linda Caricofe, some sites either wonder why I joined, or , some think perhaps I am lurking, trying to learn things from the site...and if I am not extremely careful, and I should underline the word careful, my name can sound like spam.

Sites that are not vintage or antiques related, are fabulous if one such as myself can fit in...even FaceBook has become sensitive to net workers or business names.

Remember the old saying, " darned if I do, darned if I don't ", yep, that seems to be my predicament.

I have come up with the idea of creating different avatars using my image, to fit whatever site I want to join.

So, when you are surfing the net, and see various different images of ole RC, believe me, it's not for vanity's sake...it's ole RC trying to remind the public, this RC is just the average person, not a company.

The Internet, fascinating how something so advanced, can actually be so difficult to get around.

So, time to get downstairs and stand in front of that mean camera and take some more photos. The older one gets, the meaner the camera is , and at this point, I am about ready to name one of my mannequins, RC :-)
