Good Monday morning everyone!
In the words of Will Rogers:
“Even if you are on the right track, you’ll get run over if you just sit there.”
How were your weekend sales? What are you planning to accomplish today?

Good morning beautiful sellers!
I've been peeking in here periodically but haven't had time to post. It was a long and busy week, but have gotten some shopping in.
I have to buy a new suitcase. Or 2. No major jump up and down screaming WOO HOOs, but decent.
My plan today is SHOP! Yesterday I was starting to feel sick around 3pm so I got some theraflu and retired to my room--falling asleep at 6. Of course, that means I woke up at 5 this morning. Got some coffee and measured some items (yes, I traveled with my measuring tape).
Hopefully it will be a great day and I will still be energized enough to spend an hour or 2 at the casino tonight :-)
Have a great day everyone!

Liz, I'm glad you've managed to get in some good shopping. When I visit one of my sisters I sometimes have to send inventory home by USPS FR boxes or by UPS. Have fun at the casino.

I need to do some ironing. I have some mens' long sleeve casual shirts that need to get up now. I can sell LS mens' dress shirts all year, but anything else with LS slows down for me in spring/summer. I wish I could get away with just folding them nicely for pics like some sellers do, but that's never seemed to work for me.

Beautiful day here-sunshine and in the 80's.
Going out to the post office and run other errands.
Just can't stay inside on a day like this.
Have some sandals to take pics of later.
Glad you checked in, Liz. Hope you feel better soon.

I've only sold 1 thing in the past 5 days. It's snowing here right now. Ebay is glitchy so I can't list anything. I'm in a shirty mood.
So I am doing measurements and photos today.

I was going to hit a thrift this morning but blew it off and slept in a bit. But now I have to go deposit a check, so since I'm out, I'm thinking I should hit a thrift. You know, that whole save time/gas combine stops on a trip thing.  |

Ooooo sunset, good to know eBay is glitchy this morning! That means I should definitely hit a thrift while out, to give eBay time to work right  |

Glad you checked in, Liz. Hope you feel better soon. Yep, the bugs are back so I think winter is over. lol I had a good weekend, 19 going out today. Not listing today, but I'm going to go out to a TS I haven't been to yet and see if I can find any treasures there.  |

Only had two packages to take to the PO this morning on my way to meet a friend for a three-hour breakfast. LOL. Stopped at Savers on the way home, but all I picked up was a shirt for DS. Got five things listed yesterday. Didn't sleep well last night, so I think I'll take an afternoon siesta and, hopefully, catch a second wind and get a few things listed.
Liz, I hope you have a lucky day all the way around, health, shopping and casino.

It's a balmy 34 degrees here today but I just can't wait to get my hands dirty any longer. I've been out since 9 this morning clearing a good portion of the back yard that's overgrown with thistle. The birds love it so I let it take over the back acre. But now the grandkids are old enough for a playset and I split that area 50/50 so the kids and birds will have a place of their own.

Hope you are feeling better Liz. It sucks to be sick when you are away from home.  I finally finished organizing my storeroom yesterday so I am vacuuming and dusting it today. And cleaning out the light fixture. How do those bugs and dust get inside the globe covers? Drives me nuts, but then that is a short trip.  I have a load of tops in the washer that I will get around to listing eventually. At least now I have an organized place to put them when I'm done washing them. I even sorted out the hangers and have a big bag of them to donate. I swear those things multiple if you just stick them in a box, I don't know how I ended up with so many. It's a gorgeous 79 here today, with a bit of a breeze so the windchimes are all chiming. I have a few plants to get planted and I want to put some stepping stones in the garden, but most of my chores are inside today. |

Shirley, I wish I could get my hangers to breed. I think I have hanger gremlins that make off with them. I always have to get more!

Hi everyone. Hope you feel better too, Liz.
Our gs Saturday was great. We made almost $500 - but we had some big ticket items. Twice a year we have a sale, so we see some of our regulars.
No advertising, just put up signs.
Then, usually the early shoppers, follow my husband back home.
In AZ, it is more of a driveway sale. What's really great, is adult clothing sells. Other places I have lived, it doesn't.
I even learned some Spanish - like, Everything is 1/2 off or it's Cheap.
Didn't have much left over. Either off to Savers / GW. Only have 1 box of items, and a few hanging clothes for the next sale.
No one tried to write a check, and no one tried to pay for a $1 item with a fifty.
Not only made good money, but I did not have to pay any Ebay / Paypal fees, no Neg FB, and no Defects. Can't beat that!
Jean

Got back from our trip last night, as soon as I got home I started shipping. Sales this weekend weren't too bad and it was nice not have to put my store on vacation since we were only gone fri-sun. I need to work on my taxes and was going to put everything on the back burner but I ended up doing some laundry and taking some pic's. Made some okay progress with tax carp so far today though.

Great job on the garage sale.
It's still cold here - damp cold even though the sun was out. I went thrifting and found some good stuff, gorgeous tory burch dress, milly dress. Then I had doctor and bloodwork at 1:30. Never got home until 3. Listed five and now I'm done. Playing around and then making mini chicken pot pies for dinner. DH never gets home until at least 10. I hate it!
