Indulge Your Shelf

It took my many years, but I finally reached the milestone of 1,000 sales in my Etsy shop, Indulge Your Shelf .  I've had so much fun with the shop over the years!  In fact, I started this blog specifically as a way to help market the shop!  It felt so good to finally get to 1000! When I first opened the shop, I sold some of my handmade crafts fashioned from antique and vintage materials: pillows, journals, Christmas ornaments, etc. And I've found amazing treasures at thrift shops, garage sales, estate sales, etc. -- and listed them in the shop.  Wonderful things that I didn't need but that I knew someone would love.  And they did!  They went up in my shop and soon they were found by someone who'd been searching for JUST that thing and they would buy it and love it and gush about it!  It makes me so happy! Things that I loved myself but just had no use for -- like the barkcloth fabric draperies above, perfect for a child's room... And sometimes when so...

 Yesterday we had weather in the 80s before noon. Met my son for breakfast: pancakes on the patio! Drove down the highway listening to old Hall and Oates songs!  (You make my dreams come true...) Went to an antique market outdoors and found some fun trinkets: Hit an outlet center on the way home. Back in town, went to the gym we put our membership on hold at last year at the beginning of the pandemic and got signed back up again.  And all I could think was... I'm back!
