Will have to make the time for it next time. Wanted to go see “Lion” there. There’s just so much to do and so little time. I spent most of Saturday while my husband was in seminars taking his newest medical student to see the seals at LaJolla–he was thrilled!
Just look on ebay solds. I suspect only the name brand items are worth the effort.

We have 3 friends who have chickens and ducks, so have no shortage of free range eggs here. I couldn’t stand to put a chicken down–they become like personal pets. Even after they stop laying our friends let them live for that reason. Old Chickens Assisted Living Home.

What a testament of your dedication and discipline that is, as well as kindhearted sharing. No wonder you are so successful in all you do. You are a great team!
We got to bed at 3:30 am yesterday after a long trip from Coronado, California for my husband’s business meeting. (I just relaxed and enjoyed not scavenging; I had no expenses worth deducting with free air miles and a free room. Only visited the thrifts on the island but just picked up a few things.) I got up to pack my 20 sales only to find that our computer had died (for real this time.) fortunately my husband was home and somehow we managed to get the labels printed out but it literally took all day with all the glitches. I ran it all down to the Post Office before they closed.
However it was nice to come home to over $550 in sales while I was away. And last night my husband ran to the Microsoft store and bought me a new basic “Surface Studio” for my office–the only one they had left in stock. I’m feeling ready to get back to some serious Ebay work as soon as I finish the laundry, ironing and unpacking today. But I’m missing that gorgeous Coronado weather–especially after having to sit in the basement til midnight last night due to tornadic weather blowing through.
Exactly what I like to sell minus the nylons and purses. I just sold a quilt. Yesterday I sold a finished piece of needlepoint. Dolls are dead. I only buy plush when I can get a box lot at the end of a garage sale for $4.00 like I did last summer. That stuff eventually all sells but it takes a while.

So funny! Now I know what to call my style. LOL. Seriously, I have two bins crammed full off handmade embroidered and crocheted doilies and dresser scarves that I collected for myself. I really need to list them but dread spending the time on them because they sell slowly and for not a lot of money. I collected them for myself, thinking I would use many of them to make other things. I have made some adorable totes, etc., but can’t really do much more of that. It seems like the best ones will be worth listing and the rest can go into lots. I do have some antique linens in my store and they do sell now and then. Part of the pipeline.

You can see them on their website. Very low cost and easy to use while protecting art perfectly. You can just buy one and pack it yourself. It’s so easy!
02/25/2017 at 1:16 am in reply to: Scavenger Life Episode 298: The Scavengers and The Collectors, A Love Story #13282Thanks Mike! I finally saw something I think Ryanne wrote to someone about this being a wordpress website, so we were able to figure it out after that. I really don’t like checkboard; it’s more fun to be me! I enjo seeing everyone’s cute photos and icons, all so different.
I’m in awe. Feeling like maybe I should up my game and stop making Ebay my hobby. But then…maybe not! ?
You have to hold a silk scarf up to the light to see snags. Did you do that? I would just accept the return.
If you don’t just say NO you will dig yourself into a hole. Say I can’t do it anymore but I will show you how. Then stick to it. They never want to learn how.
I love possums! You can find a LOT of this kind of art in the magazine for digital artists in the arts and crafts section at Barnes & Noble. It’s awesome but slightly disturbing.
02/24/2017 at 10:07 am in reply to: What Sells On eBay: Projection screens, HeathKit clock & Voltmeter, 8 Track Quadraphonic recorder, Patagonia jacket #13234Yes. We have tons of antiques here in the midwest but theybare not the colonial type that you see in the northwest. I would be surprised if there are any antiques at all on the western coast. I would hate trying to scavenge there. What do you find?
