BSA Church Rummage Sale

And this, my friends, is what I call a Yarnalicious haul from a Boy Scouts rummage sale. 

For a grand total of $12, I gained these two bags of yarn, a 1950s Bible, and a kit shown below, all to sell on eBay. 

Will you look at that vista of items? It is enough to make a seller tear up. 😿There was an entire circular table filled with yarn. I snagged all of the banded ones, even if they were singles. 

The piece de resistance is this kit. You know I have a penchant for completing another crafter's unfinished work. Only problem with this kit, I do not know how to crochet.

For some reason, I like to list yarn. Of all the items I list for sale, yarn is the first to be listed. Easy to photograph, easy to describe. The quickest category to sell items. At this last listing session, I bought the yarn at hospice thrift in the morning, listed it that afternoon, and the lot of 3 skeins New England Shetland wool sold the next day. 

For my investment, these recent yarn listings total $360 on eBay. This will help fund the last of the wedding expenses. 💒 

Books and Beautiful Bibles

My eBay listing hiatus has ended with a book session. The Bibles I picked up at an estate sale. I love that they are leather-bound. I make a B-line for the Bibles. If I remember right, these were residing in a basement undiscovered by other sellers.

I was motivated to get these listed so they were not "death piling" in my converted remote office to art studio. 

While cookbooks aren't quite they movers they were during lockdown, the unique ones still sell. I had gathered approx. 50 books and ended up listing about half of them. After I run them through Terapeak research, those books that are priced low and/or have numerous listings, I send back to the Great Thrift Shop Beyond. 

This 1968 publication I utilized during my Countdown to Christmas posts.

This 2008 publication was the most unusual of the bunch.

Listing sessions that are queued up are Barbie clothes and Girl/Boy Scout items. 

Gardening update: I am combining plants into planters to transport to our North Coast location. Here I have combined a jade plant, Monstera philodendron, and freesia starts.

I would like to locate an old wooden ladder to train the philodendron upright.
