Sunday Already?

Apparently I now only blog on Sundays.  Ya'll, I am so ready for spring break it's not even funny, but there have been some amazing things happening in our lives.  First, my son had an evaluation Monday and tested completely within normal ranges on all developmental areas other than articulation.  This is HUGE news.  I hope to share his story soon.  Also, my husband got a REAL job.  A job with salary and benefits and an office.  I am so proud of him.  Also, I got my check from that children's consignment sale I sent stuff to and guess how much it was?  $590 dollars!  So...I have been taking my mirror selfies of my outfits but haven't had time to upload and I have been sourcing things but who has time to blog when you are celebrating the awesome-ness and trying to keep the house in halfway presentable shape?

Anyway...I'll show you some things that sold and then MAYBE I can get caught up with the blog this week. (I know ya'll are dying to see those mirror selfies.)

 I love Loft clothes.  I love them for myself and I love them to sell.  I especially love them when they are new with tags and purchased for $1 during a 10 for $10 sell at Goodwill.  These were my highest profit margin item of the month making me $27.70 after fees.

 This Bucilla kit only brought in $7.51 after shipping and fees but I always pick up any of these vintage craft kits I can find.  They are often cheap and they are super easy to store.  I've had this particular kit for a while but over the last year I've made a good deal of money on crewel kits, ornament kits, etc.  

This was a unique item that my husband spotted last summer.  We paid more than I like to pay for clothes ($5.49) but he was sure this would make us money.  It would have made quite a bit more had it not had a few stains.  Keep a look out for Clothier to the King items.  This was apparently a brand worn by Elvis and Johnny Cash and it has that vintage "Rock-a-billy" look.  After reducing the price on this a few times I finally sold it making a profit of $24.99

What unique items have you sold?

What Sold Sunday?

I know I have been MIA for the last week.  Work has been AWFUL and stressful.  My students have been the only thing to keep me at my current job...that and..well we like to eat.  I've been juggling so many things and getting ready for that consignment sale. Today was the drop off and I took 2 carloads to sell.  I wasn't sad at all when I was sorting, tagging, and loading all of Nick's baby stuff but after I dropped it off, my heart hurt a little.  I wanted it all back.  It's ridiculous though because I don't WANT another baby and the stuff was in the way but it was still incredibly hard to let it go.  Here's hoping I get a big fat check next Sunday.

Ebay sales had been very slow because I wasn't listing.  When you don't list often enough, your listings aren't as prevalent on eBay.  I don't remember why, but I've seen that on other blogs.  I'd barely been sourcing, but my finds had been piling up until I finally got time to do something about it yesterday.  This weekend has been listing-palooza.  AND, wouldn't you know it, I made FIVE sales today.

 Our Fred's is going out of business.  Yesterday, my husband and I decided to go see what was left and we he found these Amibos.  I had never heard of them which is why I love taking him sourcing with me.  We bought the last 3 Ganondorf's at $3.90 a piece.  I listed them all today and they have ALL sold.  I based my price off of previously sold items.  The current listings are a few dollars more than I sold mine for, so I COULD have made a few more bucks BUT there is something pretty amazing about a quick sell.  After fees and shipping I made $56 on all 3.

I picked up this Disney plush several weeks ago for $1.89  Disney plush can be hit or miss.  John Darling was a hit because he is not that popular of a character and he is harder to find.  He sold to someone in the UK.  After taxes and shipping I made $16.05

I am going back to Fred's later this week hoping that they will mark items down more.  Fingers crossed.

What I Wore Wednesday

I have to blog quickly tonight.  Hubby wants the computer and I almost couldn't convince him to let me use it.  I told him that all 19 of the people who look at this blog NEED to see my thrifty fashions but he wasn't impressed.  Anyway, here goes:

 This was what I wore to church on Sunday.  The dress is Old Navy from the fill a bag sale at Uptown Cheapskate.  Technically I already sold something from that bag making the rest free so we are going to say it's a free dress.  The sweater is Maurice's from Goodwill.  I bought it during a 10 for $10 sale so I paid $1. *I don't think I like the sweater with this dress.  Next time I will probably pair it with a longer sweater.*

Sunday afternoon we went to a Mardi Gras parade.  I bought my Mardi Gras shirt from Goodwill for $1.25.  I wore it on Fat Tuesday for Mardi Gras day at school as well. 

 (I don't hide my crazy.  I parade it down the street.) 

This was my outfit today.  The shirt is boutique brand from a yard sale.  I paid $2.  The pants are Ann Taylor Loft curvy skinny jeans (My FAVORITE!) from Goodwill for around $4.50  

Tomorrow is Dr. Seuss's birthday and I will be throwing together a costume from thrifted items.  How will you be celebrating?
