This kid came free with the chandy...just kidding, it's just my little camera hog. That's his "fancy" smile. The brassy chandelier was $5. I was wanting more details and a little more gaudy, but for my first one, this will do.
This tray is so chippingly awesome, I don't even think I need to do anything at all to it. It was $2!
This is my favorite though...a dinner bell. Right? That's what I'm going to call it anyway. It's a little on the small size, I would love a HUGE one, but for $2, it's adorable. I think I may paint this....maybe not.
So, I worked on some more signs and gathered other projects that I had finished and wanted to sell, BUT I don't think I'm going to try to sell at a yard sale. Not sure it's the right place....may check out etsy...I have to figure out a way to sell my stuff though (otherwise I think my husband will flip over all my projects cluttering up the house). Any ideas????? Bueller? Bueller?? Bueller??? Here's the stash:

Awesome finds! And great signs and picture holders. Etsy is a great place to get started with selling. But...go cautiously because shipping a sign can cost more then the sign itself. :( And that's not Etsy's fault. But definitely check it out! =)
ReplyDeleteGreat finds. I'm with you - I love that dinner bell!! I never seem to find anything at garage sales. Boo. But, so cool that others do! Thanks so much for stopping by my blog and leaving a sweet comment!! The freehanding aspect of the art probably made it take a lot longer. I could have taped it off or created a stencil from poster board after freehanding it on there... or something... but this worked for me. However, if you chose something angular, you could definitely just tape it off...
ReplyDeleteP.S. I would respond directly back to the comment email alert with an email, but your comments come in as no-reply. That can be changed in your blogger profile. Just click show email address. (Just in case that is helpful.)
ReplyDeleteWOW! Lots of great finds!! I agree with Carri...I have a shop on etsy & love it. But if items are heavy the cost to ship doesn't really work out. Give it a try though!
ReplyDeleteNew follower & looking forward to reading more :)

I have an etsy shop and LOVE it! Since I do crafts as a hobby (and not a real job), it's a great way for me to recoup some of my costs so I can keep on crafting :)
ReplyDeleteOn another note, if you're seriously interested in selling some of your stuff, I LOVE the green board with the white bird and....it looks like a string that the bird is standing on, I think?
I'll send you an email now so we can discuss.
Thanks!

Hi there! We are so thrilled that you came by and linked up to Inspiration Friday this week! I agree with Alison that you have some great items with which to start an Etsy shop. Everything is really lovely. :-) You scored some great treasures at the yard sales and I cracked up about your "camera hog" and his "fancy smile"! Hope we will get to see much more of you in the future,

Thanks for all the encouragement about starting an etsy shop! I think I'm going to go for it! I'm trying to become more comfortable taking chances, so all your comments are really helping me get the nerve to do it! Thank you!
