it has been a long while since I have wrote anything in my blog

I am finally feeling somewhat normal. I had a huge operation in Jan of this year and it took quite some time to re-coop but I am up and going at 80% of my old self. There was so much to get caught up on and now my days are so full I have to make list of what to do first.

So recently I have been selling a lot of the stuff that I have collected over the years of garage sailing. So far I have been selling at least 2 to 3 items a week. With the summer here and lots of garage sales happening, people seem to buy less on line. I am saving the money to re do my studio, maybe buy myself a new desk. There are a couple that I have looked at but nothing has called to me and said this is the one yet. I have only been to 2 garage sales myself but have found a wonderful little second hand store not far from my daughters new home which has amazing prices.

So my post to today is to put the pictures of the items that I have bought and sold.

These excellent Fournier suitcases were in mint condition and I sold the pair for $40.00 on VarageSale.

This purse I sold too cheap, only $10.00 and I am kicking myself in the but for this still.

these are patent leather purses that I bought at an estate sale. All these purses were in mint condition and very well maintained. They were probably from the 60's into the 70's.

This is a Dooney and Bourke from my sister in law. I love it but the handle is a bit awkward for me.

My daughter Sam took this blue purse. It is coming back in style and very sturdy for her needs

This is a Danier leather purse from another source.

Sewing machine drawers

I found these sewing machine drawers at the curb last summer and have been debating what to do with them. I may try to sell on and keep the other for a project....hum so many projects....what shall I do? I love the detail on each of the little drawer pulls and one of them has this little detailed corner which is so cute. the bottom of this one lost it's veneer After some research on some of my blogs that I visit I found some great ideas like this one by Mamie Jane's Here is another idea to use the drawers for from http://www.etsy.com/listing/65855791/salvaged-vintage-sewing-machine-drawer?ref=sr_list_1&ga_search_query=sewing+machine+drawers&ga_page=2&ga_search_type=all&ga_facet = Or this one from http://www.etsy.com/listing/63700962/vintage-oak-sewing-machine-drawer-with?ref=sr_list_19&ga_search_query=sewing+machine+drawers&ga_page=2&ga_search_type=all&ga_facet = another real cute design for candle holders f

End of a collection #Breweriana

For years my hubby and I collected Breweriana items. It started with beer glasses and within a year or two without realizing it, we had over 100 displayed in our A frame window ledge. Then it was coasters from every bar or restaurant we visited. The next level was Beer trays which we eventually sold off. This all started when we were making our own beer even managed to find the old quart size bottles and the cases. As with most collections it grows without even noticing. You know it's out of control when you need to clean over 100 glasses, twice a year. We still pick up glasses, coasters and trays here and there but more for reselling. This is the last bit of the collection that we no longer display and all the coasters have a pin hole as they were mounted in our basement on our barn wood walls. They are in relatively good condition for the next collector to come along and purchase them. Poshmark.ca/closet/bpagani Thank you for checking them out. update this batch which had lots
