Fresh Picks: Accent on Accessories
To jazz up your wardrobe for fall, think vintage accessories for a look that’s all your own. Adding a hat, scarf, belt or necktie gives stylish flair and new life to those classics already in your closet!

FOODIE FRIDAY -- Q is for QUESADILLAS
Around here, when time is scarce, we still like to have a healthy meal. I rarely use any "convenience" foods, so QUESADILLAS make for a health lunch or dinner in a hurry! (just in case you aren't familiar with quesadillas, think "grilled cheese" sandwich, Mexican style)
We keep whole wheat flour tortillas, and good quality pre-shredded cheese on hand, which means we can have healthy quesadillas. I use our grill pan, as it's non-stick so no added fats are needed. Get the pan fairly hot, warm the tortilla on both sides so it's softened, sprinkle cheese on half, fold over, cover and grill on each side until the cheese melts and the tortilla is a bit crisp. You can add chiles, cooked meat or shrimp, etc.... (in the lead photo, taken last Saturday, I served the quesadilla with a side of refried beans and a mango-avocado salad)
Here are a couple of vintage treasures that would add some real Mexican style to any table setting:

Welcome New Members: Bantam House Antiques, BlackRain4 and Rescued Pages Vintage
Bantam House Antiques is something to crow about! (Sorry, I couldn't resist.) It's the Etsy shop of Sarah from Georgia, and features primitive, industrial and midcentury goods for your home. This 1930s New Haven travel clock with red leather case is just one of several old travel clocks Sarah is currently offering. 
BlackRain4 Antiques & Vintage hails from Texas and has stunning quilts and kitchen goods, plus jewelry, clothing and home decor. But you must see the vintage linens--I'm partial to this Leacock Prints Pink Dogwood set that includes tablecloth and napkins in unused condition!
Rescued Pages Vintage features a wonderful variety of vintage sewing and crochet patterns, books and more. Margarette from Vermont has been sharing these treasures online for ten years. I just love the colors and graphics on this swell 1949 avocado recipes booklet.
With diverse interests but a common love of vintage and antiques, we're pleased to have these shops join the Etsy Vintage Team. Welcome!
