So we had a *great* week this week getting stuff listed at auction - the last few weeks were rather lackluster on that front, but things are
looking good now! Here are a few of my favorites:
Three - yes, three! - vintage chenille bedspreads. It's funny how I wrote
a post about them not too long ago, saying I don't find them very often, and then I find three in just a few weeks time... Each of them has a couple of condition issues, they are still usable as spreads but I also listed them as "cutter" pieces - I know someone out there craftier than me could really make something great from them!
Pink Butterfly Chenille Bedspread
Aqua Blue & White Chenille Bedspread
Pink & Purple Floral Chenille BedspreadAnother thing I don't find very often and am having a *really* hard time parting with - an amazing vintage barkcloth pillow! I rescued it from the thrift store around the corner from my house - I couldn't believe someone else hadn't snatched it up!
Vintage Tropical Floral Barkcloth PillowI have a soft spot for old manual typewriters - I think it comes from when I was a kid and my typewriter was the only form of entertainment in my bedroom other than my books and stereo...
This one is especially cool because it is allegedly from a World War II Navy destroyer ship! It also has the cool keys that are all the rage with jewelry makers - but it is in such great working condition I would hate to see it taken apart!
Vintage WWII Royal TypewriterI found a really great old wood potty chair with enamel pot at a church sale a couple of weeks ago - it has the sweetest decal of a baby deer on it!
Vintage Wood Potty Chair with Enamel PotMy parents went to an auction a few weeks ago and filled up their car with stuff for me! (They get a kick out of their scores just like I do, it's so cute!) They brought me this amazing hand painted pitcher and glasses set:
Hand Painted Floral Pitcher & Glasses SetMy parents also brought me boxes and boxes full of
vintage Tupperware - I broke it out into lots, and it ended up being like 20 auctions! Most of them are ending here in the next few hours, but here is my favorite lot:

Hey everyone! Walt and I are super excited about the show this week - we are having Ina Steiner from AuctionBytes on as our guest! She has a couple of new projects in the works for sellers who are trying to expand onto multiple channels - I can't wait to get all the details!

It's show time again! This week we are going to be talking about finding inventory to sell online. Live auctions, flea markets, garage sales, estate sales, Craig's List, church sales, thrift stores, library sales... there is tons of great stuff out there waiting to be found, all you have to do is arm yourself with a little bit of knowledge, and get to hunting!
Lashes LaRue!
It's show time again, and this week is looking to be eBay, eBay, and more eBay! The blogosphere is buzzing with the latest rumor - Free Listings Coming To eBay?
Look at this groovy lady I found last weekend- according to her former owner, she came from a department store in the late 1960's! How often does something like this come around?
So, in her honor (yes, I'm selling her, I know, I'm heartless!), I am having a contest - Name That 60's Mannequin Head! Leave a comment with your suggestion, and on Monday I will use the Random Generator to pick her new name.
