Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

In the last week, I have been listing trying to get the playhouse under control.  Is it working? Um..no. Did I at least stay out of the thrift store? Um..no. I know (slapping myself on the hand)-Bad Marla,bad girl.I did buy some canisters to help me organize, so not too bad.Of course,a leather director chair, a pile of Barbie clothes,some vintage Christmas stuff,an old carry on bag,and some Polly Pocket Disney princess clothes also came home with me.Bad Marla, bad.
Other than listing, we're all sick. Again. My one and only daughter has strep, my little one has bronchitis, I have a sinus infection, and my husband and oldest son are saying they don't feel well either.I will be so glad to get everyone well around here.Didn't I just get over a cold??Blech.
Today I sold this sweater..
Isn't it lovely (insert eyeroll here)? Why yes, those are sequins all over the front of the sweater.I had read on another blog that ugly unique stuff will sell on Ebay.So I bought this from Bargain Barn for about $2.00 ($1.45 per lb.) to test the theory.It's a Storybook Knit sweater from HSN.
I listed it starting at $18.99 since that was about what other sweaters with that label get. It sold for $51.00!!! I'm a believer-ugly sells!

  2. I keep getting accused by family of selling ugly stuff. But the key word is selling! Great sale.
