I had recently won an auction lot of antique postcards. They ranged from Real Photo Postcards Of people, places or events that were big news at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries. I was so fascinated by this lot. The quick notes scribbled on the back gave you just enough…

Selling Excess Stock Needle Craft
Have you ever thought of selling needle craft items? Not the easy to find basic yarn that can be found at any big box or craft store but out of stock, vintage or hard to find needlework kits with interesting art or identifiable graphics that promote nostalgic memories. The appeal can vary based on themes…
Excess Fabric Remnants
If you’re an avid estate or garage sale picker, you probably have come across some people selling their excess material and fabric remnants. A lot of the fabric might be the run of the mill, easily attainable and inexpensive material that can be found at your average fabric store, but if you look close enough,…
A Niche Within a Niche
I recently added a blog about selling high end linens and textiles but did you know you can go further to find a niche within a niche? You can source vintage collectible linens.

Belt It Out
Belts are a fun accessory. They can add color or sparkle to your look. They’re great at the illusion of adding length or a flattering shape to your silhouette. Experiment with different widths. Wide belts can cinch in your waist and emphasize a sexier shape. Have a shorter upper torso? Try a thinner belt to…
Wear It With Flair
Pins are great. They can be affordable. They can dress up or dress down whatever you are wearing. They can be big and showy or small and understated. There are pins for hats, for scarves, for lapels, there is no limit to what a pin can say for you and where you want to say…
Nightwear With Flair
I have to confess, my new obsession is selling vintage and designer lingerie. The reseller market is flooded with so many people selling outerwear.
