Hustling…

Once a hustler, always a hustler. I’m back to selling….at a much smaller & slower pace.

*These lovelies are available*

Since I closed my shopito almost a year ago, my product has been taking up room and growing dust in my work shed.

*Sweet Cutie Patooties Available*

We moved to Puerto Rico and I needed stuff for our apartment and learned there are not a lot of places to buy vintage here. A light bulb went off and I decided to bring some of my product here to sell to the vintage shops!

*Love these fun pieces I did find here in San Juan*

The first round of vintage I brought here with me was clothing. I already sold half of it to a store I love, Johnny & June. She asked me to bring more in November for Christmas Shopping!

*1970s Maxi Dresses are Available*

I tried another shop but they only give store credit. The store doesn’t have much in my size and I really just want money, so I passed on it.

*These yummy under garments sold… sorry*

I have one other place to try to sell my clothes/products, but it will be on consignment. I like money now as opposed to maybe money later, but if I don’t try it won’t sell at all.

*These are a sample of the glass sets I have…sets of 4-6 of all of the above”

What should I bring next? Sets of Cocktail Glasses?

“Sampling…and so much more*

Should I bring jewelry?

*I have trays*

Maybe Mid Century Decor pieces?

*So much kitchen ware*

Or maybe MCM kitchenware or ceramics?

I will be flying with my product, so it can’t be too big, too heavy or too breakable. Wish me luck…getting it here and selling it!

PS…Contact me if you are interested in any of the above items…if they are still available they are for sale. And I ship!

Picking.    Picking as in finding things for a way low price.

My super power is Second Hand Picking.

Got this on a cross country trip where everything I could fit in a good size box was $1.00. Not one dollar for each piece, but $1.00 for the entire box of stuff!

My #1 Back Up Super Power is Making Things/Art/Decor out of old stuff.

Like my belt art above.

My #2 Back up Super Power is the ability to fix things up.

I buy low, fix it up, and then eventually sell it for a handful more.

This the Vintage Homecrest set was all just my Super Picking Power. The price was so low, I got it even though at the time I did not have room for it.  I made room for it!

Until I had to sell that too.

We move a lot. I use my Picking Powers to furnish yet another new place.  Shine it Up, Fix It, Use it and then Sell it.  I could make a living off of it, but we move too much.

Ok, Some things I just pick because I think they are cool. I usually sell sooner or later before a move like at a yard sale, or the sometime Antique Fairs, or I have even been known to rent a booth in Antique Malls.

We do have a home, so some stuff does get to live there, but this nice leather suitcase did not because we have enough vintage suitcases there.

This would be one of my projects that I did not get to do.  I also do projects to sell.  Take a look see at a previous blog post about my Upcylced Bars:  https://ourownbigworld.com/2018/11/28/a-bit-bar-cart-crazy/

All this one needed was paint. I even already paid my nieces to sand them!

This was part of my set up at an Antique Market.  I love stuff and glad I am not attached it all.  All above sold, even those funky Clown Shoes!

These two I saved from selling and they now have a FURever home in our Gnomad Pad.

In our last place, this was my work room, a game room and where most of the stuff for sale lived. It has all moved on now, living a 3rd, 4th or 5th life.

The only Picking I do now is from the beach.

20190301_191149Where we live, doesn’t have much for my Super 2nd Hand Picking Powers…so I am Relying on My Other Back Up Super Powers to Turn things like these into other stuff.

If I figure it out, I will share with you.

Until then, thanks for visiting.

And just so you know, I get to pick a lot back where my Gnomade Pad is when we visit.  So if you are looking for that something special, ask me and I will keep an eye out for it for you!
