Update on Junk Jewelry Acquisition!

Okay, the total weight is closer to about 150 pounds! Wowzer! My back hurts. My neck hurts! I have 4 auctions set up right now. I'll straggle some more out. Some will probably he held out until mid summer.

Finders Keepers!

Okay, I hit the motherload this weekend at an estate sale! I picked up (and earned a sore back) about 120 lbs (maybe more) of junk jewelry! Yes, NO LIE! 120 lbs! I'm listing on EBay as we speak! Now if you know me you know that I love junk jewelry, amongst many other things. So, heres how it works. I bring it all in the kitchen. Then I have to pull out my big empty plastic containers and then the sorting is on. The biggest container is sell, next are the containers for what I want. Beaded, charms, danglies, themes, glass, pieces that look like heads, vintage, wood, loose beads and I'm sure that I missed a few. One of my favorite thing in life is sorting. I could sort for days, and I do sometimes. It took me about 8 hours to sort, divide and conquer. This is what it looked like when I got home.

When I got done dividing it all up, the next step is to seperate up into flat rate boxes.

Of course there will be at least 2 more boxes to list on Ebay. A total of 9, maybe 10. After I get done preparing for Ebay, I'll start to put my goodies away and I'll end up taking out more to get rid of.

Now, I know you are wondering, what did she pay? Can't tell. But, you would die! You would cry! What I saved for myself was more than worth what I paid for the entire lot. I also got some craft supplies, cool jewelry findings, sequin trims, a box of magnets, appliques, drill bits and 6 packages of gold foil! And yes all of that was included in that one great price.

I wish these sales came around every weekend.
