Lead-off image is a peacock jewelry picture that was offered for sale at hospice thrift.
I see so many things at thrift that are interesting, but rather than buy everything I see, I capture the image.
I was going to jettison my eBay listings of CDs and books but decided to keep them on the boards. Fifty CDs just joined the active listings. I only concentrate on a few categories so there is no need to limit myself. Other than books and crocheted blankets, the items I list are easily stored. The next six months will be good ones for sales.

Queued up listing sessions include Boy Scout memorabilia, a Lot of lanyards, and a Lot of holey cashmere sweaters. A certain type of crafter loves those types of sweaters. I sell my worn-out ones and buy new retail ones.
There are few things I have discovered since my retirement 5 months ago. What I have done is continued working for myself on eBay (2,600 active listings). I have taken up tap dancing (which is a blast). I have spent more time gardening, a delight being outside.
What I haven't done is read a book, work on puzzles, or travel extensively (on my bucket list). Quilting, an activity meant to keep me home and inside, has fallen by the wayside. I have been giving away the fabric I have accumulated. There will be sewing projects, just a select few.
Countdown to Christmas is one month away. I have spent a lot of time preparing those posts. Including completed crafts from holiday magazines adds to the time commitment. Ending the post with a Christmas tree picture offered at thrift.
