In better news, this month there have been several really good estate sales - yay! So I've got some good stuff up at auction on eBay, with more to come. :)

Closing my antique mall booth + new goodness at auction on eBay this week...
Today I emptied out my booth at the mall - I actually made the decision a couple of weeks ago to close it down. :( I did the math for 2014, including factoring in what I paid for the items that sold, and came up with my average monthly profit - $45.00. If the mall was closer to where I live, I could have justified keeping it, but the hour total drive time to get there and back is what made me finally decide to give it up - I'll go into more details when I post my January booth report later this week...

New goodness at auction on eBay this week!
There have been estate sales the last couple of weekends - hooray! I love me some middle of winter sales, even if it means tromping around in 0 degree weather like I had to last weekend... ;) I survived though, and I put some of my finds up at auction, with more to come!
Side note - the Vintage Weekend show is happening again next weekend, hopefully in a few days I'll be able to put together a little sneak peek post of what I'm going to be offering - stay tuned!

New goodness at auction on eBay this week!
It's that time of year when there haven't been any estate sales for a month, and I'm digging out stuff I've had sitting around forever waiting to be listed - it's kind of fun unearthing stuff I have forgotten I even have... ;)

Antique Mall Booth Update - December 2014
I ran a 20% off sale in my booth all month - the first 2 weeks things sold like crazy, the last 2 weeks there were tumbleweeds rolling around in the small amount of empty floor space that I've got... Besides that, my bouncy horse didn't sell - and I thought for sure he would go at Christmas. :( Overall an OK month though, so I guess I can't complain too awful much...

New goodness at auction on eBay this week!
It's been a while since I posted - I hope you all had a great holiday season! I gave the blog a bit of a spruce up, and managed to list a few new things...
