New goodness on Etsy - vintage school posters!
So, I dug out a box of paper that I apparently stashed away on a shelf back in 2012. Yes, 2012. When I say my stockpile of paper is never ending, I'm not exaggerating! ;) Anyway, I would say the box was about 80% school posters, which I started to list on Etsy this week. I haven't decided yet what to do with the rest of them, if I will list them individually on Etsy like I did these, or if I will lot them up and put them on eBay. I'm going to get that box emptied out one way or the other though!

New goodness on eBay - vintage purses and more!
I've been on a kick of listing my items straight to fixed price lately - I don't know how long this whim will last. I have a feeling once sale season kicks into high gear - which is soon, yay!! - I'll probably start listing auctions again. Right now I'm just wanting to get the stuff up there so people can buy it, no waiting!
I tackled my stash of vintage purses, plus a few other fun things I've picked up at estate sales lately...

New goodness at auction on eBay this week!
So who else is chomping at the bit for garage sale season to get here? Here in Ohio we've got about another month until the weather is (usually) nice enough for the sales to start up in earnest. There have been a few estate sales this winter, but not a ton, so my waiting to be listed on eBay pile is woefully small... I did get some auctions up this week though!
At an estate sale last weekend I scooped up a bunch of Syroco - if you've followed the blog for any length of time at all, you know my love for Syroco knows no bounds. I have a few larger pieces that I am going to be trying in the booth first - some flowers, a 3 candle wall sconce, and a key, to be specific. The rest I threw up at auction:
(I almost kept this - it makes me giggle like I'm in junior high.)

Antique Mall Booth Update - February 2014
February was a bit better than January, hooray! Here's the latest photos I have of the booth, I took these the first weekend in March:
The orange La-Z-Boy rocking recliner from 1978 sold like 3 days after I put it in the booth - I'm not 100% sure, but I think the Craig's List ad that I created for it probably brought the sale. It isn't included on this February report though since it sold the first week of March... I wish I had more of them! ;)

New goodness on Etsy - posters, prints, and shooting targets!
Lately I've been working on tackling the backlog of paper items I have to list on Etsy. I've made a bit of a dent, but there is much more to come. Much more. As always. ;)
I found a whole set of these fun vintage cheese posters!
I found a set of these not very politically correct County Cousins prints, I can't help but love them...
I found a nice set of these gorgeous "American Beauties" prints!
I found a set of these Audubon prints, they are big - 14" x 18"!
These Erte illustrations are AMAZING.
