Crap ton of Candelabras
There is more but I'll spare you. So yeah, that's a major time suck. I am downsizing my Christmas stash as you can see, but don't fret, I've got 14 tubs left, I think I can spare some stuff.
In eBay news things have been hopping! People are getting in the moooood to spend money. I hit a garage sale the other day that was an eBayer's dream. Everything this women owned was HIGH END designer labels and everything was $4.00! I got a huge pile of clothes, half still had tags on it. Tags from places I will never get to shop at in my lifetime, like Barneys New York, Tory Burch in Florida, TopShop in London! (I know they have a TopShop section at my local Nordstroms but this was actually from the original store in London) Plus I bought Chanel sunglasses for $25 (already listed for ($175 on eBay) I asked the lady if they were real (I really should have known better based on her clothing selection) and she just looked at me and smiled and said "I don't do fake" haha! Made me laugh. I was wondering how the hell more people weren't at her sale so I asked her if she put her sale on Craigslist. She said no, she never heard of doing that, she only PUT IT IN THE PAPER! For real? Does anyone even read the paper anymore? Oh well, I was glad she did.
I also hit 5 thrifts that day so I have a mountain of stuff to list. As I was driving to my first and favorite thrift store I was stopped dead in my tracks when I saw this
So that's the news around here. I did go to an auction the other day that was great fun but that's a post for another day. Till next time!
Dang, but that's a lot of blow molds. I see a couple I've never seen before. Goodwill closing? Ouch! I remember how frustrated I was when the really good thrift that was seriously right down the street from me closed. It was such a bummer.
ReplyDeleteWe seem to be losing our thrift shops every week in the UK , why have a shop when you can sell donations at so much a pound to be sent abroad ? They cream off the high end stuff and just have shops in the wealthy areas of big cities . All that remains is the shops for the middle classes so they can say they bought at a thrift shop to make themselves feel good , we have a few good church based shops and independent animal charities that realise people shop there because they cant afford retail prices and that all their customers arent pickers but they are getting few and far between.
ReplyDeleteSo. Many. Blow Molds!! I would've loved to hit the designer sale!
ReplyDeleteThat designer sale sounds awesome. For the record, I read the paper everyday. I also look at the classifieds there for sales.
ReplyDeleteMy GOSH you have so much fantastic Christmas! I have a ton of good stuff - but it is MINE. I keep all the good stuff! People love the things I sell and I keep thinking - you should see what I have at HOME! Love all the blowmolds and the light boxes. i still have NEVER found a vintage light box. WTH? That's terrible about your thrift. One of my favorites changed hands and moved and it just isn't that great anymore. But at least it;s still there. I'm sorry!
ReplyDeleteoh my.. the blowmolds! are you selling all of those? Wish I could visit your booth! I see a couple I would love to have! I cant think about putting Christmas out yet.. Its going to be a huge job to put Halloween away! lol!
ReplyDeletehappy Wednesday!
