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.
Come by anythinggoeshere.etsy and see what I am destashing today.
