Thrift Share Monday - January 9

Vintage Park Lane Necklace featuring a Mod Fox

It's a little strange to go from work overload (aka before Christmas) to slow down (aka Dec 26th) and now back to work today as the children head back to school. I have a mountain of work to do and am sitting here pondering where to start. Is anyone else feeling something similar?

Here's my to-do-list

1. make sure eBay store has all listings current
2. list a box of books on Amazon
3. clean off shipping table
4. ship all orders
5. clean office
6. work on back log of emails
7. prepare for Cerys's 12th birthday tomorrow

Do you have an up and running to do list?

Remember that typically lots of people still continue to shop in January. Buyers are looking for deals, others are looking to spend gift cards and certificates while other people are running on the shopping high they've had since before Christmas. It's a good idea to begin to refill your Etsy and eBay stores from all your holiday sales and take advantage of January buyers.

Thrifting wise I didn't do very well this last week. The best sale was miles away by the sea. I'm not very keen on driving on icy roads at 5 a.m. in the morning so I gave it a miss. I can't even think of one thing that I thrifted this weekend.

The fox necklace photos are from a sale that I hit last year. The estate sale was from a woman who used to be a representive of Park Lane Jewelry. There was so much NOS (new old stock). I now wished that I had purchased more but I do love the pieces that I found. Thanks Amy for sending me to the sale. There's nothing better than friends who call or email you telling you to go to a fab sale. Right?

Did you go thrifting this weekend?

Really glad you are having Thrift Share Monday today. I had to use thrifted earlier stuff as there are NO sales of any kind around at this time of year in my area.

That is a pretty awesome list of ToDo that you have. Adding a birthday party for the 12th - whew.

Happy New Year to you.

Love the necklace- and wow, that's quite a list. I'm feeling the same, tons to do without knowing where to start. Good luck accomplishing your goals this week!

I hope you're getting lots crossed off your list today. I'm feeling the same pressure to list and organize but somehow the days just slip away. I need to enforce boundaries with family members and that's so hard. Thanks for hosting!
