Vintage Treasures Around the World

Most people have had the superpower discussion. You know the one I’m talking about — “If you could have any superpower, what would you chose?” I always wanted to be able to teleport myself anywhere in the world. BOOM! I’m sitting on top of a pyramid. BAM! I’m eating fish and chips on the pier in Brighton.

Take it a step further: what if you could teleport through time? It would make shopping for your home or wardrobe a lot more fun. With Etsy vintage, you can combine teleportation with time travel to go in search of vintage items from around the world, from Iceland to Croatia to Australia. What tchotchkes were popular in Bulgaria in the 1970s? I want to find out! Join me as I explore Etsy vintage by country.
