Yardsale Season Begins!

Woo hoo! Yardsale season is officially here. Went out this morning to about five sales. Found a bunch of kids clothes for $17 including: a Lilly Pulitzer sundress, an LL Bean winter jacket, and LL Bean snowsuit, and a pair of Lelli Kelly's (all for resale, of course).

I'm all about the Lelli Kelly's these days. I bought a pair at a thrift store the other day thinking my daughter would wear them. I paid $3.99 for them. My daughter didn't want them so up they went on eBay. Sold for $31.11. I paid $1 for the pair I bought this a.m. Will post what they go for after they're sold.

Also got these two vintage paint-by-number horse pictures ($5) for my daughters room. She's got a wall of vintage animal prints and paintings.

The Parts Are Sometimes Worth More Than the Whole

Look for an intro. to me and what I do on a future post. Right now, I just wanted to trill about a recent sale.

I had two well-worn (listed as "well-loved" on eBay) Burberry trench coats that belonged to my dad. One was too threadbare to sell, so I put it in the bag to donate to the Salvation Army. But then as I prepared the other one to list on eBay and researched pricing, I noticed that some trench coats were selling with their belts missing. So I dug out the belt from the damaged coat and put it up for sale. It went for $25.99. Not too shabby.
