Making Money Thrifting

I told you about a few week ago about how thrifting can be profitable. Well my two items sold on Ebay and the total was $91 after fees and taxes I made $88. Not bad for a $13 investment. I have been looking for more things to sell but haven't had much time or luck when I have had time. 

I did however go through my closet and found a few thing that I am now selling if you are interested

Coldwater Creek Cocktail Dress

Michael Kors Pink Sun Dress

Ann Taylor LOFT Hot Pink Skirt

Ann Taylor Brown Linen Skirt

Do you sell on Ebay? 

Thrifting can be profitable

Last week my cousin and I had a ton of fun thrifting some outfits for her. She is a single mom and has to stretch her dollar. I love shopping so any excuse to thrift I am all in. I will be showing some of her outfits in the near future because they are just too cute to keep to ourselves. Since I was on a thrifting high I went by myself a couple of days later with no plan in mind. 

While shopping I happened upon these...

BRAND NEW TOMS for $9.99!!! 

I was pretty excited. I love it when thrift stores haven't a clue about brands Ever since seeing Mandy's the $10 business I have been thinking about finding a $10 item and making money off it. Well these lovely men Highlands Brown Botas are on Ebay if you are interested! 

But that's not all I found...

A Tory Burch tunic for $2.98!!!!

Unbelievable, if it wasn't a size 2 I would have keep it for myself. 

But instead I am selling it on Ebay too!

Do you sell on Ebay? Does it work for you?

My Pottery Barn Finds!

I am super excited about my Goodwill trip today!!! I found two awesome deals.  

First is a Pottery Barn Kids My First Clock. Each of the hours spins on a dowel rod and tells the time numerically, in dots, the written word and in seconds. I love it, especially since it is wooden I am sick of all the plastic stuff these days. It is in such great condition. I am not sure how much is retails for, looks like PBKids stopped making it. But I got it for ...drumroll please... $2.99!!! I know that's crazy! The totally didn't know what they had. 

My second treasure was a boys blue and red PBKids Fairfax small backpack! As you can see it is monogramed with Danny, but I am just going to rip that out and either have it re-monogramed or get some sports appliques and cover it up!  This backpack retails for $29.50. I got it for a mere $1.99! The appliques are going to cost me more then the backpack! I can't wait to show you guys the before and after on this one!

Love me some thrifty finds!

Garage Sale

So I am participating in  my first Garage Sale this weekend with my MIL . I have to say for not having any big items it has been a real hit. I had a TON of clothes probably 150 peices of clothes that I will "one day fit into"! Well I decided that if one day I can fit into them I want a new wardrobe! Plus storing the clothes was taking up valuable closet space in my 3 closet apartment! Yes only 3 closets. Anyway, between Thur and Fri, Fri produced more customers. We shall see what tomorrow holds. I can tell you this much I don't like running a garage sale 8 months pregnant! Even though I got the best complement ever, a lady asked me how many months and when I said 8 she had a shocked look then said " You are so SMALL!" I am thinking YES!!! Because I am measuring bigger than with number one! But anyway we will see how tomorrow goes. I am SO ready for it to be over thought. 

On a side not at my church we have a ministry called Building Blocks (its like MOPS) and the talked about the Truth about Women's insecurity I can't wait to share the great things I learned. I will tell you now that is laced with scripture so if you don't believe in the Lord Jesus Christ you may not get much out of it. I do hope you still read thought and maybe you will have some questions for me. That is tomorrow post ( I hope) 

Night, night!
