Colored Capri's: Hot item!

 

One thing I have found to keep my eye open for is brightly colored Capri's. They sell very well! Here are a few of my sells.

I just listed this one and already have watchers on it.

Women's New York & Co Teal size 8 Capri's.= $6.99

 Chico's Orange Slack Capri's size 1 (Small) =$4.99

 

People went crazy over these next one’s the original bidder wrote asking for more pictures. I was concerned about getting the write color to show up and she was super thrilled with the extra pictures. She ended up winning it and was so excited she left me feedback before I even had a chance to ship it (Later that day!) She was a great buyer!

Women's Jones New York Signature size 14 Capri's = $10.01

These are not a bright color but they still did alright. Capri's are definitely in right now and cheap to ship!

Chico's pale yellow cropped pants. Size 3 (Large)= $7.50

Easy indoor “hobo” meal

This is what we always called a hobo meal. we do it when we are camping but it is just as fun to make inside too! The kids love it and it is rather easy clean up too!

Start out by peeling, dicing and boiling potatoes. you can do this on the stove but I use the microwave and my handy micro cooker. I always underestimate how many taters I will need so make a lot! I think for 3 servings I used about 5 potatoes.


After potatoes are slightly soft then put them on sheets of Aluminum foil. If you by non-stick this might be a great time to use them…I always by the plain foil and it works ok but sticks.

 
Add salt & pepper, you can add some crushed red pepper…I just go through my seasoning drawer and dump stuff on.

 
Then you have the choice of what meat you add. I had cooked beef so that is what I used. Chicken is very good as well. Just shred it or cube it and dump it in.

Then I add cream of chicken to it. This adds some flavor. Other things you can add are:
Honey, Cream cheese, veggies (frozen or canned) butter, pineapple, sour cream, cheese, just raid your fridge!

Then fold it up and cook it at 350 or 400. I usually give it about 30 minutes to cook thru.


Yummm! Ok, so it doesn’t look like much but trust me! This is my fabulous go-to meal when I can’t think of anything else to cook. And it is always a hit! Adding Sweet potatoes is a great addition as well!

On these pants I had them for sell for $8 plus $6.95 shipping with buy it now of $12.99. A lady asked if she could pay the buy it now and get free shipping. I was tempted but realized I would make less then if she got them for the $8. I thanked her for asking and told her that is one thing I love about ebay! I said I would lower the shipping fee and I lowered the buy it now price to $12.50. I knew it wasn’t much but I hoped it was just enough to entice her. It was and she bought them a short time later!

Women's long Blue Jean's American Eagle Outfitters $12.50

Not only that but she already left me fabulous feed back. She is a true ebay buyer! She commented that she loved they were already “broken in for her!” Love that after people complain!

It was a fabulous week!
Total: $121.27
 
EBay is starting to pick up a little for me. Unfortunately last week was a terrible week -all week and weekend long- to stock up on new items to post. Thankfully I took the time to post just about everything in the house that I needed to resell. So I’m all caught up! I’m hoping for a great shopping trip on Tuesday (.99 cent clothing day at the thrift store!)

Sweet deal on flowers!

I ran to Lowes to price some items for a kid project that I want to do, well, I didn’t get anything I needed for the project but I did find a killer deal on flowers!

I guess they are getting rid of some of the poorer looking annuals and so they are all marked 1/2 off or more! I was in flower Heaven!

Now the mulch wasn’t on sell and enjoy seeing this back in the back of my van. It is the only time you will ever see it there. I am NEVER buying mulch again! Way too expensive and I can get it from the city for free so never again. Even if it does take a bunch of time and effort and travel to get it. That’s what is happening next time!

See my pretty flowers! So nice and lively!

Check out the prices! Yes!

40 Pennies! Some were 38 Cents and some were $1.75

This one cost me $1.75. I think it is usually  around $8. I have never bought this one before.

Anyway, I know this is a rather boring post but I wanted to share my excitement with you all. I planted a bunch tonight but have a few to plant tomorrow. By the way. If you know what the above flowers are called please tell me. They didn’t have a tag and I need to know where I can plant them!

Laundry room Touch up- Stain remover list

I saw this posting from i heart organizing and got inspired by the her stain chart that she got from Martha Stewart and framed to add to her laundry room.

I have a very small laundry room but I thought turning a stain chart into a wall hanging would be a nice touch!
I got rid of all our frames lately so I only had one to use for this. I thought about waiting until garage selling tomorrow and seeing what I could find but, well, the kids were down for a nap and it was good timing. Sometimes waiting means not getting it done.
I first had to find the right background for my frame. I plan on repainting the laundry room in either a orange or yellow or maybe green…not sure yet. But I figured I can change the color of the background paper there. These were some of my options. It is a whole pile of 12x12 paper I found in someone’s trash. Yes. Can you believe it?

I made my selection and printed off the stain chart (which I adapted for my use by removing some cleaning stains that I never deal with). I also used a fun font.


I glued it to the deco paper and then decided that since my frame is rather thin and delicate I should add something. I opened up my ribbons and found a modest yellow.

I just used stick glue to glue the paper as well as the ribbon on to the background.

It needed a touch more so I pulled out my buttons. I got the little jar of these from the above pictures at Michael’s store for $1. Every size green button imaginable!

I used glue spots that I had on hand and added the buttons to the corners.

Ta-da! It actually fit in the frame with the glass, Which I wanted to remain due to the humidity pressures in that room. Maybe someday I will make this and laminate it before adding the buttons.

One last thing. I added a ribbon to the back by sewing it on.


I added a knot to keep the frame from tilting. I liked the outcome.





It is a little squished in there, as you can see with this picture below.

I also would like to have found a way to cut the glue dots down since they oozed over the smaller buttons.

Hope this inspires someone else! And thank you I Heart Organizing for the great idea!

Good seller! Lands End Clothing

 

  Lands End is one of those item’s I wasn’t sure would sell well.  I grew up with Lands End being a super swimsuit store to buy from because of all their options. I guess they still are!

If you ever see any swim wear from them and it is a good price snatch it up! Here are some of my summer sells from Lands End. I purchased each for $1: 

-------------------------------------------------

 Women Lands End Size 10 Peach/pink one piece Swimsuit. Buy it now $14

I searched before I posted this swim suit and didn’t find any amazing swim suit prices so I put it for $6.99 with $14 buy it now price, then went to bed. By the next morning it had sold for $14 with $5 shipping. Lands End can cost from $50-100 per suit and so I’m hoping someone was a tickled to get this for $20 as I was to sell it for that! I made about $9 on it total after fees and all. Happy with that!

----------------------------------------

Lands End size 15 Swim skirt Pink with design- $8

I got this one because the tennis skirts go so well. This was my first Lands End to ever sell. I think the size 15 helped it sell as well.

------------------------------------------------

Lands End clothing hasn’t sold too well for me. Even linen stuff. But I got this Lands End dress on sell for 99 cents and decided to risk it since I know a few ladies that wear dresses like this all the time. I listed it for $4.99 and it bid up to $10.51! I made $9.92 off this dress (happy with that!) after fees and shipping. I will be buying these dresses from now on!

Woman's blue T-shirt Dress Lands End size M/P (10-12) $10.51
