It has been a LONG time since I have posted on this account. I thought it would be fun to start sharing some of my auction buys and eBay listings again. Let's start with this vintage retro beauty - a Sony digital camera that records on floppy disks! I have no clue who buys these but they usually sell for about $100 just about as fast as I can list them.

This Sony digital camera has been tested for photo capture, zoom, and focus. IT DOES NOT INCLUDE A CHARGER. The package does include the camera, lens cap, strap, Sony F330 battery, and a box of new disks. I did use one of the disks to shoot a few test images. Camera is retired from a school and stil...

A friendly reminder to be careful when you’re decluttering... Some folks at church were clearing out some items in the kitchen. I asked them to save anything vintage looking so I could take a look at it and sell it for the church. These vintage Fire King mugs sell for $40-50 each on eBay and there were about 40 mugs. Easy to miss since it’s just a mug. Also, think of donating to your local thrift stores if you have some unique and/or quality items. They always appreciate the extra merchandise. If you’re in the Hurst area some good choices would be: Thrift For Good, Ltd., JNJ'S Vintage, and Mission Central Thrift Store. Happy de-cluttering!

Ramping up for the holiday season! These boxes were dropped off at FedEx yesterday. Our postman picked up another pile at the house. Still amazed how quickly these boxes can travel across the country and around the world!

It's a band hat kind of morning! Packing up 20 hats. Some for Libby the costumer in LA and the rest for as they fulfill last minute orders for Burning Man. These hats go around the world... (Thanks to the dynamic duo at The Glitter Project for the fun photo of one of their festival hats!)

Getting towards the last few pike poles (or fire sticks) from the Dallas Fire Department. These have been really fun to sell. There won't be anymore like them as the FDs are all switching to fiberglass poles. Started with 200 and I'm into my last 20 now...

This pike pole with hand wound rope grips was bought in an auction from the DFD. Pole is 96" and has markings for engine 41 stenciled and carved on it as pictured. Can provide a copy of the auction listing showing the pallets of pike poles purchased from DFD if desired. These make great display piec...

Looking for a weekend adventure? Antique Alley is going on Friday-Sunday from Cleburne to Grandview. My parents are setup at Whipp Farm just inside the main gate. Always tons of stuff to look at!

Packing up this old Pyrex bell jar to head up to NY. Originally cost ~$800 and a college instructor friend found 2 of them in a pile of lab equipment stacked out and marked "trash" at her school. Yikes! Off to another life up north. Be gentle FedEx :)
