Dining room.

 

getting organized.

i know that january is the traditional "get organized" month,

but i am a little slow this year.

i started reorganizing my studio.. aka "the basement"

a couple of days ago.  

it is going to be a long process.

i hope to be done by june.

my computer is going to be leaving the dining room

table and going to be set up down there

where all the "stuff" is.

after all my etsy shop is all about

destashing.

maybe i'll share some work-in-progress posts

along the way.

what do you think?

if you are in the organizing mood

here is a vintage "destashed" wood office tray i found down there.

available at

anythinggoeshere.etsy.

notice the copy of pottery barn's workspaces in the box.  very inspiring!!!

yes, i have vintage clothespins.

yes, lots and lots of vintage clothespins

in different styles, combinations, and quantities.

JUST in case you forgot.

they are one of my best selling items.

i have sent clothespins all over the world.

other people love them as much as i do.

available at

spring inspiration board.

continuing our spring theme this week...

here is another vintage folding skirt hanger

to display all your "spring" inspirations.

available at

anythinggoeshere.etsy.

is it too soon to "think spring"?

pastel looks prettier as spring gets closer.

all available at

anythinggoeshere.etsy.

roll 'em.

i am working fast to list all the fun things

that i got last thursday at a fun, local sale.

everything was older, and in very nice condition.

a winning combination in my book.

these great 1970's movie film cans and reels

would make a wonderful

magnetic "memo board."

available at anythinggoeshere.etsy

ah, the lovely smell of burlap.

a total destash of my vintage

jute upholstery webbing.

now available at anythinggoeshere.etsy.

nice variety of colors and quantities.

and they smell good, too.

1940's revised.

i've had this 1940's tray for awhile.

it's design reminds me of the living room draperies

from my childhood home.

but it needed something to make it really special.

a recent private sale yielded just the thing.

a great selection of buttons from the same decade.

i had fun going through them stacking them up.

adding some magnets.

i love the soft gold, brown, cream, and black together.

the first estate sale of the year.

 

the cold january weather has kept me inside and

the local estate sales just haven't sounded that interesting...

 until last thurday when a sale caught my eye...

and off i went.  and i was happy i did.

 

see two new listings of my finds.

a neat old galvanized tote 

and

a fun instant collection of vintage gardening tools.

available at anythinggoeshere.etsy.

note~  if i didn't answer your specific question from last week

about etsy it is because i didn't have an email address.

 check the last post to see if this is you.

what do you want to know?

i can't do a post without a photo

so i had to include this one.

it is one of my all time favorites.

now with that out of the way

it has been a while since i asked you, my readers,

if you have any questions about starting an etsy shop,

or selling on etsy, or about my experiences 

selling on etsy for the last 1 1/2 years,

or anything else etsy related for that matter.

you can email me directly or put your questions in the comments

and i will answer your questions as best i can.

it has been a wild and fun ride and i am excited

to start another year.

i just had my 2300th sale so i have some experience at this thing called etsy,

so ask away.

note~  and some of you have your blog comments set up so i can't reply

by email so if you aren't sure please leave your email address

in your comment.  thanks.
