Why I Sell on Etsy~ It's all about De-stash!

This is my second reason for selling on Etsy.

I had never heard the term Destash until I started selling on Etsy.

Destash refers to the process of liquidating your stashes.

A detox for hoarders.

What I have are lots of stashes.

Things I bought, mostly at Estate Sales, thinking that I might make something with them

 or

thought they were interesting/intriguing/fun/different/appealing.

More than 150 old I Ching Coins

My tastes run in two directions.  First, simple, ordinary things AND, second

things I've never seen before.

90 or so old Package Handles

But, whatever it is I always buy in volume, if possible.

A hundred old Pin Nibs

All that adds up to many stashes now being destashed on Etsy.

Around 50 Bulldog Clips

These are photos of things I have destashed in my first 6 months on Etsy.

Two dozen old Souvenir Spoons

Maybe over time all of these things could/would have sold at shows, but think of the packing, unpacking, 

hauling, displaying, and hoping for the right person to stop by my booth to buy them.

Hundreds of Matching Empty Sewing Spools

Now,  all of these things, some of which I had hundreds of, are gone and happily

living all around the world.

Hundreds more Matching Sewing Spools with Thread 

I like to say that they are again "Seeing the Light of Day" instead of hanging

around my basement languishing.

Gobs and Gobs and Gobs of Keys

As these collections are destashed... other collections are peaking out of their

previously hidden locations.
