Open for business

Today I am 33. In 1976 my mother went into labour on Labour day, and I was born. So I thought it fitting for today to open for business my new Etsy shop Ticvaah's Trunk ! Most of the items will be vintage, but now and again I will post handmade items as well. Although there are only 4 today, I hope in the days and weeks to come to gradually add more and more pretties to the shop. My dear friend Coralee asked if I would share the how-abouts to the name Ticvaah's Trunk. Ticvaah has been my email address for about as long as I have used email. I loved the Hebrew name that I found in a Zion Chronicles novel (I think) years ago. It means "precious treasure". My dear husband was not too excited about naming one of our children after my long time email address. So there it stays as my online user name in many places! It is also not the correct Hebrew spelling, I just chose letters I liked ;) I have always had a "tickle trunk" of costumes and vintage things. And so it seemed fitting to name the store Ticvaah's Trunk, with a mix of vintage and a splash of handmade, we'll see where this adventure can lead.

  4. My daughter shares your birthday. And I also went into labor on Labour day. Very fitting. Except she was born in the early hours of the next morning. :)
