That’s really interesting, especially the Pinterest. I sometimes post my vintage fabric on Pinterest but hadn’t considered other items. Definitely an avenue to explore.
30 listings for me last week. We had a great day yesterday at the Oregon City Antique Faire and sold some fantastic higher ticket items, including a WWII brass mortar shell lamp, a 1950s baby buggy, several taxidermy framed creatures (the bat was the best!) and several big ticket books. It was 95 degrees when packing up, but it was worth the suffering and a good day all around.
VT I am so so sorry to hear about your husband and his health problems. Please know that I am sending you and your family many good healing thoughts.
40 listings for the week. I’ve been concentrating on the fabric from that enormous haul and have over half of it listed already. It’s paid off because I sold over 30 pieces just last week…19 to one buyer!
Hope everyone has a great week ahead.
Vt…thrilled to hear the great news about your husband. That’s wonderful! Sending healing thoughts to kitty.
Just got back this afternoon from a road trip to Sacramento, where we visited with great friends and went to the Antique Faire yesterday. I was actually a cautious buyer this time around because I already have had such amazing picking luck this Summer, but it was still really fun, up until it got really hot at 10am and we escaped to air conditioning. Good thing it opens at 6am!
16 listings for the week.
26 listings for the week, all fabric from that enormous stash I bought a week ago. I’ve listed over 60 pieces from it already and it’s starting to sell.
Hope y’all have a good week. Sending you good thoughts VT for your husband’s health treatments to go well.
Thanks VT! It was a woman selling her grandmother’s quilting stash. It was mostly really good quality quilt shop fabric, with a few great vintage pieces too. I paid $150 and it’s easily two thousand dollars worth of fabric. Very very motivating, and I actually like to list fabric, It’s soothing to me, for some reason.
I was a wee bit naughty last week and bought 240 pieces of fabric. Gulp. But I will say that it motivated me into a listing banshee.
83 listings for the week.
Hope everyone has a great week ahead!
35 listings for last week. Had an amazing time picking on Friday. More to list! Woooohooo!
Here’s our Youtube video of our picking adventure:
Hope everyone has a great week!
44 listings for last week. Sales have picked up too. Funny how that works.
Hope everyone is having a good summer.
3 listings for last week. We spent almost the whole week visiting relatives in Michigan. And yes, we did some picking and brought home a big suitcase full of vintage goodness!
It’s going to be really warm here this coming week so it’ll be a good time to stay inside and get some serious listing done.
39 listings for last week. I have been out to sales but trying to find mostly larger statement items for our Oregon City show next month…found a 1940s baby buggy, an old orange ladder, and a large wood vintage birdhouse. We also scored a bunch of free stuff at the end of an estate sale for a friend and her husband. They sold everything for their move to a little village in France. They’ve assured us they’ll have a guest bedroom! Oh, the picking possibilities there…….
Hey y’all can relax about the size of your DPs. Confession here…I have about 60 DP boxes in storage. Some are from the move, some are from my old brick and mortar store, but most are from me simply buying way faster than I can process and list. Have I learned from this? Probably not. But I am slowly, ever so slowly working my way through, a box at a time. My hope is to have it half gone by this time next year.
We got this.
Amatino…always great to hear from you!
Had the big flea market Saturday and was thrilled by the turn out. Sold a lot too! We’re planning another one in September, but in the meantime, gearing up for our huge event in August, a couple of trips, and just the usual stuff. 36 listings last week.
26 listings for the week. Feels good to be back on the listing track. Been out sourcing quite a bit but keeping up on things as they come in. Have our big flea market event this weekend and prepping for that.
Zero listings for me last week. Had lots of relatives coming to help celebrate my mom’s 90th birthday this past week, and some of them can be quite, shall we say, judgey, so we made sure everything was extra spic and span and beautiful.
My sales have been sluggish because of the zero listing, so it’s back to putting in the effort this week.
Thanks everyone for your nice comments. Hope y’all have a great week. Hopefully everyone is feeling well now.
