Since I began to dream of making a living from vintage, I have been following the ‘Quit your day job’ posts on Etsy. These stories of ordinary people, who have been able to make a living following their dreams, have helped me believe that it might be possible for me to do something similar, and have influenced my decision to try and make a living through vintage.

I set out my stall on Etsy a few months ago (LadyBVintage if you’re interested) and today *dances round room in excitement* made my first sale!

I know that one sale doesn’t mean quitting my day job just yet. But, just for a few moments, I had a sense of what might be possible. And I like it!
