I always take staples like the Scrabble words. Each year I sell a lot, but last Spring I sold SO many, it was nuts. So, I have made a ton of word packets. I expanded my "line" into Oklahoma and Oklahoma sports teams. I have no pride when it comes to taking money from people. :)
Over 50 Scrabble tile racks - each one painted a variety or colors, sanded, tack clothed and priced.
About twenty vintage inspired prize/award ribbons.
Fifteen or more banners for birthdays and Razorback football. There's one in the center of this photo from the flea market.
Over 200 Domino pendants - each one made with a scan of a package or vintage greeting card from my collection. Each one displayed in a printers drawer.
About 50 PROBE letter card packets - words picked out, sorted, packed into a cellophane sleeve, topper attached, labeled and priced.
Over 100 packets of flash cards - each packet is 12 flash cards. That is over 1200 flash cards that I typed, printed, cut, rounded, sorted, bundled and labeled.
Ten Jello Mold glittered pumpkins and a handful of crows dressed for Halloween.
Twenty-five packets of paper straws all in cellophane sleeves, tied with grosgrain ribbon with a Halloween pick added for fun.
About 200 packages of vintage cake toppers, sorted out by holiday or event, stuffed into cellophane bags, topped with a paper topper, stapled, hole punched, labeled, priced and hung on a display rack.
Over 200 different grab bags full of vintage Christmas ornaments and small Christmas items. Placed in cellophane bags, paper topper stapled on, labeled and priced.
Now I see why I am so tired! And I've only just begun the vintage sorting and pricing!
**I love cellophane sleeves. Everything just looks better in a cellophane sleeve. :)
Good golly, girl, you are rocking it!
ReplyDeleteSuch great stuff!!! Wish I could visit your booth at the junk ranch! Hope you sell out! :)
ReplyDeleteYou crazy gal! Try and take a breather once Junk Ranch is over. You totally will have worked for it by then!
ReplyDeleteI love my cowboy domino pendant I got from you. I opened the package in the car and promptly hung it from my rearview mirror. Its so damn cute!

Wow...that's all. Just wow.
ReplyDeleteI'm exhausted just reading that! You have been working your hiney off!
ReplyDeleteYou will do very well. I love my domino pendant. I totally agree about cellophane sleeves. Smile.
ReplyDeleteIt looks so so good. I wish I could take a road trip to Junk Ranch!!
ReplyDeleteYou need to get some of those elves that come in at night and do a bunch of work for you. Call up an elf temp service and ask for some. But do it quickly, because Santa is going to start hiring his temps any day now.
ReplyDeleteI have to go take a nap. Reading all that wore me out.
I tired Elves R Us but they are all booked up. DANGIT. I could use a mess of those little guys. And I would send some your way too!
DeleteGoodness! I would be tired too. Hope you sell it ALL!
ReplyDeleteOH, you have me beat when it comes to making and creating! But, I have made an awful lot and it is tiring. I won't sell it all, but I hope I sell SOME!!!!
DeleteYour little dominoes are adorable! You have a reason to be tired. I was tired just reading through everything you have been doing :)
ReplyDeleteI love your pendants especially the Gemlites and Santa Snow one. It looks like you have been a busy girl. I wish I could be going to junk ranch with you! I can't wait to see all your pictures.
ReplyDeleteI wish I lived closer!!! Good luck!!
ReplyDeleteYou forgot the "over 10,000 minutes for you to come up with all these creative lovelies." I wish I was closer so I could buy it all! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteIf you don't have the busiest booth there I'll be surprised. I wish I could see it in person.
ReplyDeleteSo my plans are to come to Junk Ranch to shop. I'm going to walk fast, no, run, to your booth and buy me that Snowflake pendant, so maybe just sort of hide it toward the bottom???? You have been working soo hard and I can't wait to hit up your booth!!
ReplyDeleteYou are silly! I made way too much of everything. There will be plenty, TRUST ME. I am either going to flop or hit it big this time - I am bringing some different things this time. I am nervous and ready to DO THIS! See ya at the Ranch!
