Buy more, save more Chronically Vintage Etsy shop holiday season sale

It's the most festive time of the year again and I couldn't be happier!!! As it is for so many of us, Christmas is immensely near and dear to my heart and I love to celebrate it in as many ways as possible (from baking enough holiday treats to feed an army to donating toys, clothes, and food to local families who are in need). I also adore taking advantage of December shopping deals and know that I'm definitely not alone on that front either, so in the spirit of helping you all do so, starting today I'm having a mammoth sale in my Etsy shop.

This sale will run for three weeks (with January 5, 2015 being the last day), so as to encompass Christmas, Hanukkah, Yule, Kwanzaa, Boxing Day, New Years, and all the other fabulous holidays that fall during this festive time of the year. Whether you're shopping for yourself or giving gifts to your friends, family, coworkers, or anyone else in your life, now is the time to save big!!!



{This holiday season, the more you buy, the more you save in Chronically Vintage's Etsy shop. Treat yourself or someone special to the perfect vintage gift this December and save plenty in the process. It's a total win-win for everyone! Image source.}



Unlike the other sales that I've had so far, this one operates on the basis of, the more you buy, the more you save. Please see the following list and use the appropriate coupon code when purchasing anything from my Etsy shop during this three week period.

Spend $1 to $75, save 15% with coupon code Christmas15

Spend $75 to $150, save 25% with coupon code Christmas25

Spend $150 to $300, save 35% with coupon code Christmas35

Spend $300 or more, save 45% with coupon code Christmas45

Coupon codes cannot be combined and do not apply to shipping or taxes (taxes are only applicable to Canadian customers), but you can make multiple purchases of different sizes, say one for $100 today and another for $200 later in the year (or start of January) and take advantage of any and all of these coupon codes on more than occasion.




{Some festively themed and hued items from my Etsy shop, which along with everything else there, you can use the coupon codes in today's post to save 15, 25, 35, or even 45 percent off, depending on your order's total. From top left to bottom right: Kitschy 1950s red and pink plastic poinsettia brooch | 1950s green floral print wiggle dress | Vintage signed Sarah Coventry pink silver flower brooch and earrings set | 1930s dark pine green Bakelite bangle bracelet | Big red and gold vintage disk dangle cha-cha earrings | Beautiful 1950s blue snowflake and flower glass brooch | Vintage red, green, and beige floral and striped Jakymar print scarf | 1950s light blue and emerald green rhinestone crown brooch | Set of three vintage brass and green malachite bangle bracelets | 1940s red plastic bead and brass cha-cha earrings | Vintage Avon Christmas tree and holly berry brooch | Big vintage red lucite and etched silver tone metal belt buckle bangle bracelet (center square item) | Stunning 1950s black and red lace party dress}


The two highest discounts (35% and 45%, respectively) are the largest I've ever offered and I won't likely be having such deep savings again until next December, a full year from now! So if there's an item - or ten! :) - that you've been eyeing from my shop, now is definitely the time to pounce on it!

I truly appreciate all of your business and support of my Etsy shop this year. It's been a little over seven months since it opened now and things have been going great, thanks in no small part to business, encouragement, and sharing (about it) that many of you have blessed me with in 2014. I offer these holiday season savings to all of you (new and returning customers/supporters alike) today as a truly heartfelt token of just how much you and your business all matter to me.

Happy shopping, saving, and holiday season wishes, my dear friends!!!

Five more days, just five more magical, snowflake and sugar cookie filled days until Christmas arrives! Isn't it amazing how, no matter how long the year up until this point may have seemed, December 25th always seems to get here faster than Santa's sleigh zooming across the frosty night sky?

What still seemed so far off to most as we tucked away the Halloween decor less than two months ago, is now barreling down on us at the speed of light and all the world is aglow with its beauty and excitement.

I love dressing up all year round, but few times suit it better or call for it more fittingly than during the holiday season. There's parties, dinners, functions, plays, pageants, services, photo shoots, and of course the big day itself all in need of our most festive finery.

This is a time of the year when glitz isn't just good, it's grand! When more is often better, sparkle no knows bounds, lux is the name of the game, and everyone suddenly seems to remember just how much red and green they really do have in their closet.

Our stylish gal today is named Noel, the French word for Christmas itself, and she comes sporting the sartorial spirit of the season in full force. Much like myself, she rarely goes for an understated approach this time of year, preferring instead to take a cue from the nearest Christmas tree and deck herself out in holiday loveliness from head to stylish toe.

Follow her lead as you continue to dress up during these last few wonderful days of 2013. Before we know it, the twinkling lights, bubbly music piped over loudspeakers near and far, and the season of sequins will be behind us again. Revel in the chance to go big or go home, as they say, whether you interpret that literally, or just see it as a way of giving yourself permission to sport those kinds of special garments and accessories you rarely, if ever, bring out of your closet during the other eleven months of the year. 

This season is one of profound and meaningful beauty, just as your outfit choices should be. Celebrate December 24th and 25th, Boxing Day and New Years with what you wear, and it will be next to impossible not to have a holly, jolly Christmas. It is after all, as the classic song says, the best time of the year!
