I am really excited about some of the finds I have been making over the last few weeks. But now my “Finds” closet is full to bursting and I have to do something about that.

I have been slowly putting some of my more fascinating vintage things up for sale on Etsy. Like a great vintage childrens growth chart. Like the old Japanese Kimekomi doll kit which I could never make up in 100 million years and have it look like it is supposed to. But I know for certain that here are people out there who could do it - because I have run into them and their intricate wares on Etsy. Possibly people with delicate fingers? (I am very jealous of people with delicate fingers, did you guess?)...

I have just put up this great little japanese souvenir ashtray too.

I wanted to keep it but the Daddy said “that’s enough! You don’t have the space to keep it! At least not until we buy some more furniture or something!” Then in the next breath he said “No more furniture! At least not until you make your fortune selling some of your finds!”

So here we are.

I am going to try and get another listing up tonight or tomorrow, a set of 4 pictures I would have rather kept all greedily for myself if I had known where to put them. That will have to be a surprise for later.

In the meantime my children are running around with any old old clothes on because I haven’t taken the time to do the laundry all week. And we’ve had salads and tins for dinner every night, except for the evening I let my fingers do the walking and ordered a pizza.  Well, something had to give :-)
