Bunch of stuff to put on Etsy

Look for all my new items on Etsy.  I am bound and determined to get them all on by the end of this week.  It is so much more fun to make things and search for things to sell than it is to actually put them on the sites.  The former is a joy, the latter is work.  But I guess if I want to make any money it can't all be fun and games. As of now I have been making just about enough to turn around and spend it on more inventory and supplies.  If that is the most I ever do I will be content.  I just enjoy crocheting and making jewelry and searching for treasures that as long as I have enough money to keep doing just that I won't complain.  I hope all my family isn't getting too tired of all my handmade gifts.

Treasure Hunting in my own Neighborhood

I have gotten to be such a homebody.  I am close to Wichita which is where I usually go to estate sales and garage sales and only 5 miles from the Maize Goodwill but here recently I had very good luck right here in Colwich and St. Marks.  I went to an estate sale in St. Marks a couple of weeks ago and got all kinds of nice vintage costume jewelry for $1 a piece.  One set, necklace and earrings, has tons of little milk glass stones.  It is gorgeous and I only paid $1 for the whole set.  I won't take this one apart.  Last weekend Colwich had its citywide garage sales.  I went to look for old jewelry and found none but I hit one sale that was awesome.  I bought two vintage barkcloth sofa covers for $2 a piece and two vintage 100% cashmere mens overcoats in mint condition for $1 a piece.  I should put them on ebay but they fit me so I will probably keep them to wear. They are identical and one is brown and the other camel so maybe I will be able to part with one.  One of the couch covers is already on my loveseat. The other has a little more wear and I think I will use the good fabric for pillow shams for my bedroom.  It is a very pretty pink and green pattern.

Now I just need to get my rear in gear and get some of my stuff on ebay.
