I'm In Love With Lia Sophia

I've been finding a lot of Lia Sophia jewelry for sale on my Facebook group. I haven't done much research but I figure if I can get some pieces between $6 - $8, I should be able to double my money. Some pieces may get me more. Here are some pieces I bought.





Some of the pieces still have the paper tag and the gold/silver chain in the first collage came in the box. I don't think the heart necklace with the key hole is Lia Sophia. I have to check into that.

More Lia Sophia

Most of the Lia Sophia jewelry found on my Facebook page is a little too pricey for reselling but I did manage to find two more pieces. I got these from the same seller I bought the Day Dreamer necklace from. (which already sold)

VTG Christmas Pom Pom Tree

I have been searching the thrifts and Goodwill for a vintage pom pom tree with no luck. I read how Sir Thrift A Lot scored a cheap one on Ebay so I decided to try my luck. The first one I bid on started at .99 cents. The seller had a crappy title so his item wasn't appearing in search results for Christmas tree. I believed it read Sparkler Pom Pom Tree. With one day left to go, he cancelled my bid and ended his listing. He relisted it at auction with a reserve price. Two days into that auction, he ended the listing and relisted it as a BIN of $125 plus $12.70 shipping. He now has changed his price to $150 with free shipping. I hope karma pays him a visit for cancelling my bid and his tree never sells.

Disappointed, I kept searching Ebay and came across another cheap auction. This was her picture and here is her title and description:

Pom Pom Brand new in all original packaging 25 branch 3 ft tall tree

Brand new in the original box with the branches still in the original paper tubes

Her photo

Is it any wonder she only got my bid of $24.99? With shipping, I paid a total of $36.16. It arrived today in the mail. Here are my pictures.

Facebook Finds

I really need to stay off Facebook. All the money I made from my yard sale group, I spent on there. I only found one item I am reselling and the rest is for Ryker.

Race track rug: keeping


Bunch of cars and trucks: keeping There were more but I didn't feel like digging through the toy box.


Veggie Tales Pirate Ship: selling on Ebay


Fall and Winter coat: keeping These should fit Ryker in the fall.

One Woman's Junk...

is another woman's treasure. My husband won a huge box of craft items at auction for $4. The box contained fabric, pine cones, beans, pipe cleaners and other assorted junk.


I listed it on my Facebook yard sale site but had no interest. Last week, I was on another yard sale site and saw a post where the seller was accepting trades for craft items. I messaged her and she was willing to look at what I had. She wanted the box. And what did I get in return? Three, yes I said three, vintage baby blankets.


Aren't they the cutest?

A New Girl In My Life

Ever have seller's remorse? I was missing my Mandy. Although she was impractical to use, she was a good display. I started looking at mannequins on Ebay and came across this listing: LOT 1 FEMALE WOMEN NUDE FLESH MANNEQUINS BODY FORM HOLLOW HANGING Bonus: Panties Ok so who can resist free panties? Kind of an odd bonus. I sent the seller a best offer. She counter offered $2 higher. I accepted, paid and today I got her.

and yes, true to the listing she came with bonus panties. She also came with some damaged clothes.


I am going to try to sell the damaged clothing on my Facebook page. The black shirt and brown capris in the front have one small hole. The pants in back need to be thrown out, they are ripped. I got the stain out of the sweat shirt but the white t-shirt is still stained. 

I listed the thongs on Ebay but feel creepy about it. I don't know why. They are new but the tag is torn. Some of the care tags on them are written in some weird language and none of them have a brand. I wish they were all one size to make them easier to sell.
