We're having a fun food day today. I made some beef stock yesterday & decided to can it up using our fairly new NESCO canner. It holds 4 quarts which is what appealed to me instead of using our All American. Unfortunately 2 broke 😢

@mozzwald is smoking a Chuck Roast & threw in some eggs as a test. The eggs didn't take long at all so we enjoyed a couple & threw a few more on. They're adorable on our little Corelle plates I got at an auction 😉

What good stuff are you enjoying today?

This gorgeous fixture is being installed in a Connecticut home built in 1900. I've said it numerous times before; I love what I do & I love those who freely share with me little tidbits of their lives & their reasons for purchasing something from my store. They don't have to share a thing with this complete stranger but, they do.

They had messaged me first & then followed up with some wonderful feedback 💙

What's the last thing a buyer told you? Hopefully it was nice 😂

I wonder how this is gonna turn out 🤔

I'm not happy with my response but, I received it as I was going to bed & my blood, while not boiling, may have simmered a bit 😆

Any ideas as to what might happen next because I don't 🔮

I do know I won't worry about it until I have to 🤷‍♀️

I'm loving the nicer temps sticking around a bit longer.
I welcome fall but, winter renders me useless.
I also tend to sleep harder as the year goes on which has begun & I'm already in hibernation mode 😴

We bring our Wandering Jew in every year & I can't believe how massive it is.
Last year we brought in tons of bugs along with it so we gave it a gentle soapy bath this time.
I love this plant 💙

Are you experiencing warmer than usual temps where you are?

Here's the ol' TIMEX watch display in motion. I recently reached out to a local auction place to see if they'd take just this one piece to add into one of their upcoming auctions.

I find it pretty amazing but, I've had it for far too long! While we do have a lot of watches, we don't have enough to fill it plus, we don't have enough room to actually display it appropriately.

I say I want a bigger house but, that just means I'll fill it to the brim & want an even bigger house right? 😆

I love how my last 2 posts are about awesome things going on in the night sky.

We'd been looking for the once in a lifetime comet over the last few days, never finding it. Until tonight, right before we were giving up for a 3rd time did I see what I "thought" might be it.

We took a thousand photos & got this single one which looks halfway decent.

Interesting to think it won't come around for another 80,000 years ⏱

Have you seen it?

I got this macrame piece at an auction a couple of weeks ago with a load of other items. As soon as it was placed in my hands, I see 1 of the little bears broken in half. Doh!

So, I get home, unpack everything & place this off to the side to deal with later. After a few days, I went back to it & decided to look up how to repair pottery pieces. I figure, I love being creative so why not weave it into my reselling? Remember my puzzle piece project? I'm still working on those! 😂

So, I found a couple of videos on YouTube & now I've decided I really want to become a pottery repair person, lol. While the repair kit I purchased is in no way super professional, it worked for my needs & was a fairly quick fix.

I matched the little bear head up with its body & coated it in the epoxy. I wrapped some painters tape over the head & under the feet basically pinching them together to hold in place. When dry, I sanded down the built up epoxy being careful not to put too much pressure just to knock the head off again.

I cleaned up all the dust & repainted it a slightly darker blue. Luckily the other bear paint jobs aren't that great either 😉

Who's getting creative today?

I know some people show their hands or faces or legs or other body parts (we've all seen THOSE reflections, no?) in their listing pictures but, I'm not usually one of them.

I don't like when my hands are in the image & sometimes I can't avoid it but, I'm just not a fan. So, this is @mozzwald holding up a light fixture for me & I used Inkscape to remove his hands. It's not perfect but, it'll do.

I don't have an Apple phone but, I remember someone showing me how you can click & hold on a portion of a photograph you take & it basically copies & separates it from the original. I would love that capability but, I will probably never be an Apple person 😉

If you have an Apple, am I remembering that option correctly?

Would you look at this? This is the package my buy

Would you look at this? This is the package my buyer said they didn't receive forever ago, which is obviously true because it showed up back at my house.

It was being delivered to a complex of some sort that they live in & apparently their front/main door was locked at 10:30am. I dunno but, I went ahead & refunded them for the item itself not including the express shipping they paid to get it by 8/6. It was going to be a prop for something. It's too bad because it did arrive in time.

I reached out to the buyer after I refunded stating I'd gotten it back with a note stating the door was locked but, I never did hear back, which I'm fine with 😏

Here's a handful of dishes I picked up the other day from my boss' house who's in the midst of paring down in preparation for moving. I don't plan on keeping any but, I do love the pottery plate with the blue streak & of course, I absolutely adore the UG plate.

Imagine my boss' surprise when I ran to get my UV flashlight as I said "Pretty sure that's Uranium glass." She had no idea what I meant & was shocked when it glowed. She then asked, "You just carry that (flashlight) around with you?" 😏

I confirmed she was sure she didn't want it after seeing how cool it was & she said we were helping her out & I should just take it 💙

When's the last time someone gave you something knowing you'll most likely sell it?

The flip clock is back up & fully functional. The color of the new bulb even matches the color of the beautiful sky this morning.

Today, I plan on going through a bunch of stuff I picked up from my boss' house yesterday as she prepares to move.

Got a couple things I'll keep & the rest will be for resale. Thankfully she knows I do this. Why else would I only work 8 hours a week? 😏

What's on the docket for you today?

When it rains, it pours. I've never had so many upset customers all just within days of each other.

1.) The buyer, requesting a refund, stating the item was not delivered even though tracking shows it was to the front desk. I didn't really just tell them to "look around" which sounds like I didn't care. I asked if they'd checked with the front desk, their neighbors, and even their local PO 📪

2.) It's hard for me to see what the buyer saw since it was in my hands however, I'm sure it was the reflection of the light which made it look white. We both admitted fault & at least they thought it was cute 👍

3.) This is a clear sign of someone not reading the description before purchasing. My description explained practically all of the things they had a problem with. Most of which I do believe can be fixed. I reached out to the buyer prior to me replying to their feedback in my store but, when I didn't get a reply I decided to defend my honor for all to see 🤺

I hope the positivity is strong with you today 💙

Here's something non-fragile I created a package f

Here's something non-fragile I created a package for.
I picked up lots of old bumper stickers a while ago & I have multiple quantities of most.
This was a small batch of 5.

- What I've been doing when these sell is cutting up 2 pieces of an old box.
- Each piece is longer & wider than the bumper stickers.
- I shorten 1 piece & cut out a "dip", similar to an envelope.
- The longer piece, I make a fold a couple of inches longer still then the stickers.
- I tape the bottom & sides together & slide the stickers in to make sure it's not too tight.
- The flap is folded over so when opened, the stickers are seen & can easily slide right out.
- I also typed up little pieces of paper a while ago that state "make shallow cuts".

Anywho, these were delivered just yesterday. I've sold a variety of stickers so far & haven't heard of any casualties when opening 🤞

Would you feel comfortable shipping these this way? 🫣

We met up with some friends earlier this year & they said they'd wanted to find a flip clock.

Well, of course, I'm treasure hunting often & this was the first flip clock I came across so I scooped it up & heard some rattling. Hmm, I wonder what that is? Oh well, I'm sure hubby can fix it 😂

He took one look at it & immediately got to work. I'm so happy he lives for some of this stuff too 💪

- In taking off the front casing, one piece, integral to holding it on, had broken off & was causing the rattling sound. He fixed this part by fusing it back on with a UV resin.
- The casing's frame was cracked in the top center which he glued back together.
- He cleaned up the glass front.
- The alarm, while it made a sound, wasn't very alarm-y so he continued to clean it up thinking he'd look at it later.
- He found a tiny bulb inside that barely glowed & found the exact type online.
- The silver colored trim just outside the glass was worn away throughout so he used a silver enamel marker I had & touched it up.

We set up the clock on a little table in our dining room & as we were eating dinner, the alarm went off.

I said, "Oh, you got the alarm to work?!"
Looking confused, he said "I guess so." 😅

So, don't know what finally woke the alarm up but, we're waiting on the bulb to arrive & we should be good to go! Can't wait to see what it looks like💡

Do you wake up to an alarm? I don't usually have to but, I have it set just in case.

Look at me getting all weird with how I'm shipping

Look at me getting all weird with how I'm shipping the pieces of these 2 puzzles.

They're from 1968 & due to age, use, and/or storage, some pieces are a bit bowed/warped. Each box has a number of smaller puzzles so I decided to stack each little puzzle in between some cardboard pieces. Then, I put the whole stack in a baggie & into its appropriate puzzle box.

It won't fix the warped-ness, it'll do nothing really. I just wanted to do it this way 😜 These haven't sold yet but, they're ready for when they do.

Oh man, did I have a roller coaster ride with this

Oh man, did I have a roller coaster ride with this sale. Buckle in it's a long one...Also, it's out of order & there's so much more I'm not even mentioning 😂

- Someone reached out asking if I'd take $125 for 1 of these shades & I said - YES
- I let him know I had 2 more & would he be interested? Yep, he wants them all. - SWEET
- Then he says, will you ship to India? -- YES, I WILL
- Can I get a picture of all 3? -- YEP, HERE YOU GO (I also relisted to include all 3)
- What are the dimensions from the top of the glass down not including the metal? -- ABOUT 9 3/4".
- Are you sure these are legit Baccarat? -- NO, I'M NOT AS THERE ARE NO MARKINGS
- Well, that's promising b/c pre-1930 they didn't have any marks -- AWESOME!
- Will you go lower on the price? -- NOPE
- Due to the chip, will you go lower for that? -- NOPE
- Please be sure to pack it well - I'VE ALREADY PACKAGED THEM SECURELY
- Can you send me an image of how they are packed? - SURE CAN, I DO HOPE THIS PUTS YOUR MIND AT EASE.

He was very happy with the help he received & followed up with he cannot purchase as India is not on the list of countries I ship to.

Dang, I added India & let him know & unfortunately, he still couldn't purchase.

OK, I'll just have you send them to my home in the states 🥴 -- EXCELLENT

I truly don't mind these types of conversations & I'd rather it go this way before anything is purchased but, there's an underlying sense of dread waiting for something bad to happen. Do you get this way when it comes to customer questions?

Now, this sale isn't complete until my customer either lets me know they're happy or 30 business days have passed without a peep 😂

I purchased & shared this lamp a few weeks ago & while it worked, I went ahead & rewired it. Based on my searches it appeared it was Royal Haeger but, most of what I saw showed authentic stickers proving it. I mean, how could it not be though? It's pretty distinctive.

I ended up finding it in a 1953 Spring Lamp Catalog shared in a FB group I'm in & it's so exciting to see it. I noticed it does not have the finial mine has. I don't know if it was added later by the company or by the person who bought it. I don't want to remove it mainly because I think it works, even it wasn't originally there. Plus it can easily be swapped out if someone chooses 🤔

The catalog states SMALL TREE OF LIFE. Green agate with chartreuse Synskyn shade (fiberglass). Height 21". RETAIL PRICE $13.50....WHAAAAA???? Can you believe it??

I find Haeger ALL the time probably because it was made in Macomb, IL which is only an hour & a half drive or so away. Sadly, back in 2020 they discussed demolishing the Haeger Pottery buildings. Here's the article discussing a little bit about it if you're interested: https://bit.ly/4f7ZE57

It's a friggin' mess here 😬

@mozzwald bought a @dewalttough chainsaw today & can you believe I found a wood chipper at the thrift store today? 😲

I ran in before an appointment I had, saw the chipper, took a photo & sent it to mozz. I had to leave though & when I got to my appt. we connected & decided it would work for our needs. I ended up calling the store & purchasing over the phone 😀

Both new tools have been working perfectly so far. We also have the help we need & it's just gonna be a long few days 💙
