My name is Pat Labella, but I’ve been selling crafts and collectibles online for about 10 years as VintageIntent. I was born in Buffalo, NY, lived there for 50 plus years, then moved to the Las Vegas suburbs. Since I was a child, I always loved crafting and always made birthday and Christmas gifts instead of purchasing them. Later on, I became interested in antiques and collectibles. Now my two passions are merged into creating vintage inspired and recycled art. I enjoy gardening, but I miss the perfect gardening weather in Western New York. It’s too hot in Nevada to grow everything I want.I enjoy learning and cooking new vegetarian recipes. My favorite network is the Food Network.I’m an animal lover with huskies, tropical fish, a rabbit and a guinea pig.
I love shopping the thrift stores.I think it’s important to save the artifacts of past generations. I collect and sell vintage, but when an item is broken or incomplete and ready to be discarded, I try to repurposed them into useful and unique pieces.Strong women. My mother and grandmother were strong individuals. In this life inner strength will give you the power to do or cope with anything.
Family. They always come first.Health. Respect your body . Eat right. Lower stress.It’s an easy, friendly venue. I love the fact that I can list without worrying about fees and spending too much.I’d like to see individual blogs.
I write a blog Past, Present and Future, a personal website and I use Pinterest.List as much as you can. Don’t get discouraged. Try to promote on at least one other site.Retired, with a small business for fun and a little profit!Tags: Featured Zibbeters, Vintage Intent
