Tuesday night in California, pushin' 11 p.m. Tuesday is an office day for me, and I'm still at work, finishing up a day of packaging eBay sales and listing some of my newest finds.
Unlike many eBay sellers, I don't work out of my home ... I rent an "office house," right around the corner from where I live. 2000 square feet of mixed use space ... command central for the process of sorting, cleaning, photographing, listing, selling, and shipping my junkin' finds.
Can you say messy?
Things get picked up, looked at, and put back down -- sometimes without a lot of conscious thought. The end result is bizarre little vignettes that seem to create themselves.
When I finished taking today's eBay pics, I decided to wander through the office and snap a few shots of the current state of my working world.
In the "Dish Room" In Transit On The Kitchen Counters
Part of last summer's bounty, waiting to be listed.
Pyrex and dinnerware from Oregon thrift stores.
Aren't these fishing bears adorable? I found them at a high school yard sale in Camas, Washington, last August.
More dinnerware, plus one very cool guy with a ukelele.
Unpacked this evening ... vintage tins, trays, covered Pyrex bowls, and a cool green cardboard suitcase with bright daisies.
Another daisy, ready to list ... these are size 7.
Check out the faceted lucite heel!
A flock of angels, and some antique postcards.
A collection of spoons, from Savers in Vancouver, B.C.
Garage sale find ... Garfield mugs from McDonald's, circa 1979
This one's a little scary! Dorothy, Glinda, and the Cowardly Lion, next to a milk bottle and in front of a cigar box purse. I really wonder who stood up these Happy Meal toys.
This is NOT decorating, honest ... but there sure is a lot of work to do after taking two months off to work on my own house. If you see anything you can't live without, be sure to let me know! How about this next little gem that followed me home?
Yes, someone will buy this ... isn't life amazing?
