25 listings for me too. Jinx VT!
I accomplished a skittle last week that was long overdue….cleaning up part of my shipping station that has been messy since last Christmas. It feels great!
My best find last weekend was a vintage formica kitchen table for 20 bucks…..very exciting.
Hope everyone is having a great summer!
47 listings for me last week….the most I have been able to accomplish this year so far. I really made it a focus and tried to get some done every day before I started other things.
I haven’t done anything with the pop-up challenge, but I did get five large boxes of books processed from my death pile that have been in it for YEARS, longer than I would like to admit. So there’s that.
Hope everyone has a good week ahead. I can’t believe Saturday is July 1st! Ack!
So sorry to hear about your kitty woes Julie. Hopefully he’ll get well very soon.
Zero listings for me. Had a lot going on and also spent a long weekend taking my dad to our family beach house for Father’s Day weekend. He loves to go to garage sales so we went out Saturday and had a grand time. One little coastal town was having a city wide garage sale and that was a lot of fun.
This is a much quieter week ahead (fingers crossed so I don’t jinx it!) so the plan is to get a LOT of listings accomplished, plus the pop up challenge.
Okay…I’m in. For the pop-up challenge I am going to list items in my highly neglected vintage items Etsy shop. I will aim for 15 new listings this month. That particular shop always goes on the back burner and is never a priority, so it’s a good thing to finally push past my neglectful ways.
8 listings for me this week, less than I anticipated but y’all, we hit the most amazing hoarder sale on Saturday. They were selling BINS of stuff for $5-10 each, no cherry picking allowed, plus all kinds of extra stuff. We literally filled the minivan up and spent the rest of the weekend going through everything and separating treasures from donations. It was about 30% great stuff and 70% junk, but oh the good stuff was very very good! We got two typewriters…a cool Royal we’ll sell for $85 and a really rare one we’ll sell for $195, easily. That’s just TWO of the items. A lot of work, but SO much fun. I live for these kind of hauls.
It was a very productive week, but just not in a listing way. This week might be the same, but next week looks more promising, listing-wise.
Julie and Christine….you guys are rocking it! Great job! Amatino, what a great organizer you are….I should fly you up here to help me get on top of my carport once and for all. (grin) Sharyn, your vacation sounds awesome!
Hope everyone has a great week ahead.
Congrats on high listing numbers Christine!
20 listings for me, and a fantastic road trip to the Farm Chick show in Spokane. 6 hours of driving each direction, but man it was fun. So much vintage inspiration! And I only brought back 2 little things, that I want to recreate to sell, so they were business purchases in my mind. There were many tempting things so I really behaved.
Hope everyone has a great week ahead.
25 listings for me last week. Amatino, can you please record 10 listings for week #19? thanks in advance.
And…… a 10 ft by 30 ft storage unit EMPTY. Woohoo! $540 a month GONE.
Happy Memorial Day everyone!
15 listings for me…I finally made my goal…which is especially good since I spent several days at the family beach house. I’ll be focusing on finishing emptying out our most expensive storage unit this week, so not sure how much I will get done otherwise, but it will be great once it’s gone.
Geesh Amatino, that’s quite a challenge…glad it’s almost done and you can enjoy the results! We missed our Amatino-boo. Can you tell? (grin)
Julie…that’s quite a win and I get how big that is….my shipping station is about half way covered with things that don’t belong there and I long for it to be completely clear. It’s high on my skittles list, so hopefully I get to it soon.
Ten listings for me last week. I spent a great deal of time helping my dad navigate his divorce, which, thankfully should be drawing to a close in the next month. Fingers crossed.
6 listings for me last week, but I was slammed most of the week getting my booth set up. It was a unique challenge because this particular antique mall requires your tag to have a vendor word on it, instead of a vendor number. I use numbers everywhere else, so each item had to have the vendor word put on it…at least 200 items. But we finished the booth yesterday, finally and it looks good, so bring on the sales!
I did have a unique opportunity for picking….my 90-year-old dad has a friend at his assisted living and after she moved into assisted living a year ago she left behind a house full of things she didn’t have room to take, and both her daughters aren’t interested. She offered for Charlie and I to go to her house and pick out whatever we wanted and her daughter would negotiate a good deal with us. It was basically like getting to shop an estate sale, with no other pesky dealers around! The house was a mess, but we found some great things and it was a lot of fun.
Congrats Julie on such a good listing week! Sounds like you found a method that works great for you!
Christine, I agree with Sharyn. There are so many kids and young adults struggling these days. My niece who teaches middle school Spanish and my brother who teaches high school Math, see it every day. As teachers they struggle too. Hang in there, one day at a time.
VT…I got the shingles vaccine (second dose) a week ago and it certainly made me exhausted for a couple of days. But I am sure glad I got it!
Hope everyone has a great week ahead….we are expecting our first heat wave coming through!
17 listings for me, which is pretty good considering the huge amount of errands I had to run after the show.
Julie, I am also looking forward to the garage sale season! We went out Saturday and found some great things.
We’re moving into our “permanent” larger antique mall space today and I am pretty excited about having my own little booth vignettes there. It’s going to be so much fun. First two vignettes: Bee Spring, and Mermaid Beach.
Zero listings for the past couple of weeks because I was busy with my show. The good news is that set up and tear down went fantastic and the show itself was lovely and we received lots of raves. The bad news is that there was torrential rain and 35-40 degree weather for most of the show, so our customer count was WAY down. It didn’t feel like spring! UGH.
Onward and Upward. I’m already planning the fall show, because of course I am.
I need to start listing again.
Hope everyone has a good week ahead.
