Big Canada Day Etsy shop sale, July's call for sponsors, and less than two weeks to my birthday!

Phew-y, now how's that for an action packed title for yah! :)

Only two more days beyond this one still linger in June. It's hard at times, even when the mercury bubbles up to near dizzying heights, to believe that we're really into summer. I yearned, nearly desperately at times, for this season to return all winter long and am elated that it is here at long last. I want to savour each minute, ray of sunshine, sip of ice cold lemonade, and walk on the toasty sand covered beach like there's no tomorrow.

As we gear up for the seventh month of the year, I cordially invite one and all who happen to have a relevant shop, blog, or other type of website and would like to sponsor Chronically Vintage to do just that. I love welcoming new sponsors, shinning the spotlight on your offerings (or writing, DIY creations, outfit posts, etc), and introducing you to the tens of thousands of readers from around the world who visit my blog every month.

If sponsoring Chronically Vintage is something you're keen on doing, please check out my sponsor page for further information and by all means feel free to email me any ol' time your heart desires. I look forward to working with you this summer!

And speaking of time flying by faster than Annie when she's rushing after a tennis ball, in less than two weeks, on July 10th to be exact, I'll be hitting the big 3-0, a point which excited and delights me, as much as aging objectively can. It's not, at this point in my life, that I really want to get older, but as the old expression goes, it sure beats the alternative! And as I truly like the changes that have been happening both in my personal and professional life, as well as some of the ways I've grown and evolved in recent months and years, I'm eager and excited to see what the next decade - one that is often totted to be the best in person's life - has in store for me.





In celebration of both Canada's birthday on July 1st and my own a few days later, starting today and running until two weeks from now (the last day will be Saturday July 12th), all items in my Etsy shop are on sale at 25% off their regular price (there's no coupon code involved with this sale, all the prices that you see now reflect this discount).

In the past couple of weeks I've added over three dozen new vintage jewelry and accessory listings to the shop, so there's even more to fall in love with and add to your own vintage collection there these days.

This will be the only sale of the summer, so if there's something you've been eyeing in my shop, be sure to snap it up now before for at a wonderfully discounted price before someone else beats you to it!

Have an awesome last weekend of June and start of summer, everyone! I'm off to hit the garage sale scene, take one of those aforementioned walks on the beach, and load up on groceries for Monday's festive Canada Day bbq celebration!

    1. No way!!! That is all kinds of awesome!!! I've not known many people over the years who shared our special day. I love that it's something else we have in common, sweet dear.

      Happy b-day countdown!

  3. Too tempting Jessica, I'm on a shopping ban right now because of how naughty I've been over the past few months!! Hope you have some fun birthday plans lined up? x

    1. Thank you, dear gal. I hear you there - I go on one of those myself sometimes, too, especially times get extra lean.

      No huge plans - I'm not much of a partier myself. I like a nice, lowkey celebration anytime! Just turning 30 (sooo excited for the next decade of my life!), spending time with family, and eating something extra sweet will be fabulous for me.

      Have a fabulous first weekend of summer!

    1. Thank you very much, sweet Kelsey!!! I'm so psyched about this milestone age and the next chapter of my life. I have a very positive feeling about my 30s in a way that I never have about past decades (okay, granted I haven't had that many yet, but still... :)).

      Have an awesome Canada Day long weekend!
      ♥ Jessica

  6. Thirty is one of the milestone birthdays you still get to enjoy rather than dread if you're the sort that dreads birthdays (which you don't seem to be). I hope your special day is indeed special, and that your thirtieth year will be filled with wonderful happiness, good health, and great memory-making events.

    I was at the party store with my son last week, and the place was festooned with 4 July decorations. He collects flags, so he bought a small maple leaf on a stick, and as we stood in line amid all the red, white, and blue the woman ahead of us looked at Danny and mumbled, "He doesn't get it, does he?"
    He promised to lend it to me for our annual," Canada Day bowl of poutine" for a photo-op. We love our neighbors (neighbours) ;) Happy Canada Day.

    1. It never ceases to amaze me what some people will say, let alone to a complete stranger. I love that your son wanted to purchase a wee little Canada flag and that you guys will be celebrating my country's birthday with a celebration all of your own - and one involving poutine to boot. That's awesome! I like to celebrate both the 4th of July and US Thanksgiving (our own Canadian one taking place in October, not November) as well, so it's a cross border party for both us! :)

      You bet! I adore birthdays, be they mine or someone else's and always feel a deep twinge of sadness when I hear someone say something like "I hate birthdays" or "I'm not even going to acknowledge that it's my birthday this year". Why ever not? This is the day that you entered the world and which marks your rightful entry into the history of the human race. That is an astonishing thing and worth celebrating and rejoicing in at any age if you ask me.

      Big hugs & tons of happy Canada Day wishes!

  8. Oooh, a sale! I might just have to take advantage of this (although I, too, am trying desperately to keep myself from shopping so much)!

    Happy early birthday to you, too! No matter how you celebrate, I hope it's the greatest. :)

    Cheers,
    Jenny

    1. Thank you very much across the board, lovely dear! Hard to believe today marks exactly one week until I hit the giant 3-0! Not since I turned 18 have I felt like a birthday was such a pivotal milestone in my life.
