ROFL! I was just thinking that Sharyn hadn’t put up a reminder, but it turns out that I didn’t get the reminder notification!
Wow, JB, that’s a fabulous number! Too bad you’re an Honorable Mention this year, that would have been a landslide for this week. Instead, Sharyn takes the win with a very respectable second.
VL, that video on how you set up Brookhaven is fantastic! “Magic” is the word, for sure! That Halloween house though… it kind of creeped me out! I’m not good with Halloween, I prefer Christmas. I’m a weenie, I know! LOL
Sharyn and VL – ha! Well, we danced. It turned into just a display rather than a Flash Mob, but it was very well received. And Lacy, “video” or it didn’t happen? Isn’t it usually “photo” or it didn’t happen? 😛 Unfortunately I didn’t get a video, but one of the audience members did a Livestream on Facebook, which you can access here https://www.facebook.com/MelissaMuseArt/videos/492344129494934
Good morning! Apologies for posting late, I was out the whole day yesterday.
Congrats to Sharyn for winning the week, narrowly pipping JB to the winner’s enclosure!
I’ve been so busy I don’t know whether to check my ass or scratch my watch. Hoping things calm down by the first week of November. Our local quilt show goes up on Friday and I’ve downgraded my original 5 projects to only 3 – and I’m struggling to even get those ready with all the interruptions. My new longarm machine retrofit FINALLY arrived and the machine has been rebuilt. Only problem is that it keeps breaking threads, so Himself is doing a lot of troubleshooting and cussing. This year is also the first year that I’ve taken over the quilt registration program for the show, moving our aged quilting group into the age of technology. (I learned last week that I’m the youngest member of the group – by a decade!) Ye Olde Biddies are a little daunted by the new system (snap a photo with your phone, text it to me with your info – didn’t think I could make it easier!) and so it has been quite a battle to get all the registrations in. So between handling registrations, cussing husbands, longarm test sequences, my own quilting for the show, and normal business operations, it’s been a little cray-cray.
Oh, and I have a Witches Dance Flash Mob coming up this weekend, and a full lighted parade to arrange for November 19, with a possible second round on December 3rd.
Also, my booth in the Antique Mall moved – again. 3rd move in 6 months, but this one is a good one. Himself said I’ve been “moving up” and it’s true. I’m finally making sales. Which has the other problem of constantly needing to add new stock. Honestly, I have no idea how VL does it. She must be Superwoman or something! She even runs huge shows, as well as her eBay/Etsy and booth work!
Wishing you all a wonderful, productive, and less hectic, week!
Hello all! Congrats on your win this week, Christine.
VL is busy with her Show, so I guess we’ll hear back from her in a few days. Photos, VL! We want photos! LOL
Nice, JB. I got a box of movie posters at a thrift store. I bought the whole box and they gave me a discounted price so that it worked out to less than $1 each, but they were generic movies, not cult faves – unfortunately. Of course, the 2 that I looked at were popular and they sold right away. Guess I shoulda looked at more than 2! 😀
Sorry you’re not feeling well, VT. Sending wishes you feel better soon.
It’s really great that you’re taking on such a big task, Sharyn. I cleared out one hoarder’s space about a decade ago and overwhelm was a good way to describe it. It got to the point where my heart was breaking because of the stuff going into the dumpster, but I just knew there was no way I could clear it. Good luck!
Had to actually check the calendar this morning to find out what day it is! Working 7 days a week make sit hard to keep track sometimes!
Sharyn takes the win this week, congratulations!
Did you notice we are on week 40? Yep. Getting down to the wire now!
Sorry about your ear infection, VT, but at least you didn’t get COVID. That would have been awful to have at the same time.
Wishing you all a great week ahead!
Wow, Christine, that is a convincing win for this week! Well done! Spreadsheet updated.
You are the best at doing the Challenges, Sharyn! I look forward to hearing how you did at the auctions.
Are you okay, VL? Sending hugs!
I know VT is still away, but hello everyone else? Nobody here?
Have a great week, everyone!
Can’t believe we’re in the final quarter already! Last quarter was pretty much a bust for me for challenges.
However, my #5 is an Inventory Check of S Category and I SOOOOO need to do this! This one is definitely going on the TDL as I am beyond past due getting it done.
What’s your #5 and how did you do last month?
Hey everyone, I’m glad to see you’re all getting back on track!
ChristineR takes the win this week with a good number of listings up, just pipping Sharyn by a nose! LOL. Well done, ladies!
Sorry about your root canal, Julie! And I’m thrilled for your dad, Lacy. How wonderful, after months and months of unpleasantness!
Wishing all of you a magic week. May listing become easier, sales become higher, and pickings become more exciting!
Well, that was a quickie update, seeing as only 3 people posted numbers this week! I’m sorry that it’s so rough for everyone. :'(
Sharyn wins the week, well done!
Hoping everyone feels better this week.
VT trounces us all for the win this week! Well done!
JB, so sorry you’re suffering with COVID. Hope you and Christine feel better soon!
VT, that’s rough! I thought I was the only person who managed stuff like that! LOL. It’s brilliant that you found an upside, though. Good for you!
VL, wow, so now you actually have it on video? That’s brilliant! Let’s hope you never need to use it. I pray that your dad is safe and happy for the rest of his life now. Big hugs, my friend!
Sharyn, how frustrating for you! eBay has been handling some strange glitches just lately, it seems a lot more than they used to. Whatever changes they have made to their software appears to have not been particularly helpful to sellers over the past couple years!
Well, folks, wishing you all a fantastic week. May those who feel subpar feel much better very quickly, and may the rest of you have a productive week.
It seems that everyone is crazy at the moment! Agree with VL, let’s hope that September is better on eBay for everyone!
VL, I’m glad your dad is getting out of his abuse situation. You’ve posted many times about it and it is horrible. I hope that he is happy and safe now. And congrats on your huge sale!
Spreadsheet updated and Sharyn got the win with more than double the combined total of all the other listings! LOL.
Final third of the year. Only 15 weeks until Christmas. Leaves are turning and falling, cooler weather is settling in, so folks are going to be in front of computers and scrolling on handhelds. List your coats, your Christmas items, and, of course, Fall, Thanksgiving, and Halloween stuff!
