While my county hasn't closed to indoor dining, surrounding counties are closing. I kind of figured it would be headed this way. Another reason why I have been sourcing like there is no tomorrow. There could possibly be no tomorrow if it goes so far as to close down thrift shops again.
Now that I have jumped into the reselling game with both feet, I spot other resellers all the time. They shop differently, with a critical eye toward a possible profit margin, and phone in hand. The only thing I check online is CDs even though I am buying them for $1.
There are times I buy and then wonder what was I thinking? Why did I buy a bug zapper at the bin-diving event? It took up a lot of room and I lost the purple octopus plush while hauling my 3 bins to checkout.
As I list needlekits for sale, I pull the ones I just can't part with. The few I have chosen from 40 or so going up for sale are a 1989 Charles Wysocki Nantucket Breeze needlepoint. I have a Charles Wysocki tapestry I have in reserve for me. Saved from excommunication from the collection were a 1981 Creative Circle dark brown Fishermen's knit pillow, a sampler kit on brown linen, a 1984 Something Special Front Porch needlepoint. I have to hold back in my overzealousness to list everything for sale.
On the college front, I intend to take Introduction to Art History, 8 week session, in the spring. Those who have followed me over the years know my love of art. I also think I have a wicked sense of humor. The calendar that will entertain me throughout the year will be the MOBA (Museum of Bad Art) 2021 calendar. Can be ordered here (not a paid promotion).
As I suspected, the state of California will no longer issue printed calendars to all of its employees. The remote work mandate has also been extended to June 2021. They might as well say Forever, I know I have accepted that reality (as I compose this post wearing my bathrobe and slippers).Coming up - All of the Countdown to Christmas posts have been queued up for the full 25 days! I've got lots to share.
