  • Monday's Listings

    11:39 AM PST, 3/24/2008

    Hello faithful buyers.... Today's listings are complete, for the most part. I have two Dean Koontz Hardback books that Ebay didn't have pictures of so I'm going to have to photograph them and then upload them. They are Brother Odd (a large print hardback) and Dark Rivers of the Heart. These two did not get listed today, so I'm thinking it'll be tomorrow. Today's titles, all from Dean Koontz, are Hideaway, Mr. Murder,Intensity,The Husband, From the Corner of His Eye, Velocity,Tick Tock, Night Chills, The Funhouse, Whispers,Phantoms, The Bad Place, Darkfall, Servants of Twilight,False Memory, Midnight and a hardback copy of Forever Odd. All of them are in good condition and reasonably priced. I am still in the process of weeding out the clothes in my closet. I have lots of plus sized clothing that still needs to be listed and more to add to that....sheesh, where do all the clothes come from? I am convinced that clothes reproduce in the back of your closet, when the door is closed. I had a hard lesson to learn, last week. A buyer bought something from me and paid me via Paypal and then had the payment reversed....so from now on, I will have delivery confirmation made with each transaction, no matter how large or small. The only reason I lost that $60.00 is because I didn't have delivery confirmation placed on the shipment....If I had, even though the buyer reversed the payment, Paypal would have covered it, through the seller protection policy. Like I said, it was a hard lesson and a costly mistake, but I have learned and that's what counts....chalk it up to experience. Anyhoo, have an excellent day and hopefully I'll have more listings up for tomorrow. Blessings, hiliftwife
  • Today's Shopping Foray!!

    10:30 PM PST, 3/22/2008

    Hi Friends... Today Mark and I went out shopping....We love to go out second handing, visiting our favorite thrift and used bookstores. Hitting yard and garage sales, all along the way!! Today, though the focus seemed to be books. One of our favorite thrift stores, in Jackson Ca., was having a book clearance sale...So I cleaned them out of Dean Koontz novels...On Monday (my regular listing day) I will have over twenty new novels to list. Most of them are in pretty good condition. There are only a couple with cosmetic issues...I will also be listing a few more VHS Videos and some flat lace pieces (yardage)and I have some more Plus Sized clothing to list. Right now, I have a cute Betty Boop Handbag, up for bids...It's so pink and girly and though I've just started making handbags, it's made quite well. The buyer of my first handbag just loved it and thought I needed to make more. Check out Betty and buy her now. I guarantee she'll make you smile. I am currently using two of my own creations and I love them both. My next design will be a Doggie Lover's Handbag with a furry top and a dog bone key chain and coin purse. Also coming soon, Little Girl's Vintage-Look Aprons. I just unearthed a pattern, in my pattern trove, for an adorable little girl's apron. They look very 40's/50's in design and are just too cute for words. Well, it's getting late and I have to sing in church tomorrow...so I'm going to shove off....Look for those Koontz novels, on Monday afternoon and buy lots....
