Hello & Welcome!

I decided to create a blog for sharing my current vintage 1980's sticker collection. I started collecting (I should say recollecting) in May of 2008. I had a few smaller collections as a kid but never kept them on their backings so when I wanted to move stickers around I ended up ruining them instead. The biggest heartbreak for me though was when my prized unicorn and other favorites collection was stolen one recess afternoon on the playground. I was SO heartbroken. I spent allowances, birthday money, and whatever other money I had building it and even taking several years to do it too. I remember having dreams about my favorite stickers and hoping one day I'd see them again. But I never did find that precious collection sadly.

So last Spring I had a wonderful idea to try and see if I could still buy 80's stickers on the internet...mostly eBay of course. To my grand amazement there was SSOOOO many of them on there...and not cheap either. I wasn't the only one I guess that had the idea to recollect or continue where I left off so many years ago.

I have to admit I went a little overboard with the buying and collecting for a while. I used my artwork sales to help support the new found fun and gained quite a huge collection in a very short time. Any extra stickers that I came across I got my grade school daughter into collecting with me. She has a pretty large collection herself now and is having just as much fun as me. lol She even started a sticker club in her class because she would bring her collection to school and her friends wanted to start a collection as well.

I finally decided to resell stickers and opened shop on eBay to help pay for my collecting as sales slowed way down for my art and sticker sales were still going pretty strong for others. I am now having so much fun collecting and selling and meeting a lot of awesome folks who share the same passion. I even opened another sticker shop on Etsy due to the great success of sales and how appreciative collectors were for me offering these little gems from our childhood. I have links to my shops on the righthand side if you want to stop in and take a peek. :o)
