Incoming! Franciscan Starburst alert, misc collectibles, Barbie and some great furniture on the way.

I have taken on a large amount of consignment items from dear friends who are downsizing into their dream condo.  Of course my goal is to help them get as much as they can for their awesome collections, but there is much work ahead in going through and listing.  That said, you will want to stay tuned to my Instagram or Facebook pages for hot off the press listings.  At any time I welcome you to contact me and if I can sell it to you before I list or even off Etsy, it will save you!  Local and regional peeps who can drive to pick up can save too.  I am bundling things so make me a list let’s negotiate!  I am currently adding Franciscan Starburst China to my Etsy.  Some have issues and I am noting all of that.  Read carefully and reach out if you need more info or pics.  This will take me some time to get through and we will be out of town this weekend.  I am trying to take little steps.  If by chance you know of a hardcore Barbie collector or dealer, please send them my info.  There are some fabulous collectible editions in this lot.  I would love to have someone hand pick so I can get it more manageable.  Most are new in original boxes and if removed were display only.  There are accessories as well.  So much! 

Wednesday I am returning for some furniture items.  Hoping my car can fit it all!  Here’s an idea of what is coming.

There are 3 of these awesome Bertoia barstools.  They were special ordered and shipped from Italy with seat cushions.   Would like to keep the set together.

Stay tuned to my social media as I work my way through these awesome collections. I am always willing to ascertain bulk deals. There are some really cool Barbies in this lot!  Limited runs, collectors editions, designers and so much more.  Generally speaking they were never removed from the boxes, a few may have been displayed.  Wait until I start digging in! Seriously good stuff.  

Joan is here waiting for you!  Is there more from this series?  I have no clue! When I start on the Barbies I will be posting in social media.  I would say that these are probably headed to eBay.

Enough temptation for now.  Can’t wait to show you more!  

Help me re-home this great stuff!  My consignment endeavor will help my friends empty their home of valuable items that just won’t fit their new space. They have deliberated on what stays and what needs to go and now here I am, handling the details.   Collectors helping collectors, keeping this stuff in your own community of enthusiasts.  It’s a win for everyone!  I hope to get involved in helping others do the same as time goes on. I can use my expertise to help you get more money for your stuff than an auction house, yard sale or other quick unload option.  

Stay tuned! XO Malissa 

these are all live on Etsy plus a coffee pot.  Much more to come!

Dr Jekyll and Mrs Hyde.

Had the opportunity to purchase a bunch of inventory the last few days.  If you have been watching my social media, you know it’s not my typical stuff.  First off, the former owner is still alive at 97 and a retired Doctor and finally moving out of his home.  It was jam packed with fine furnishings and collectibles. I knabbed some great furniture in a Victorian or French Provincial Reproduction style.  Most items were purchased new in the late 60s/early 70s as I can tell.  That said, things are clean and well taken care of.  I already have been processing and listing things so stay tuned to my shops.  I have been adding shipping/delivery into my pricing on Etsy as they are pushing for that. Most furniture sellers do not list shipping but they we get tossed into the Etsy free shipping stuff and it causes some confusion.  I am hedging for shipping in items that need a shipper or greyhound.  Please reach out at any point and I can adjust that number as we research it based on your location.  Want to see what I have?  💕🤗

Italian fencing foils. You never know when you will want to challenge someone to a duel. That Chinese rug is in my freezer at the moment. Freezing destroys any moth activity including eggs. I do not want them in my home. A few days in the freezer and no chance of them hitching a ride. No visual sign of moth activity!

The last part of my buy is medical stuff.  Lots of weird stuff.  Yea for that!  I have tool kits, bottles, a scale, vintage sun lamp and so many cool things.  Thinking i will hammer through them and put in my eBay shop. Stay tuned as I will get to that stuff after I get all the furniture listed.  As always, reach out if you need help.  I have adjusted some of my Etsy furniture to include shipping costs as they are pushing everyone to free shipping. If price looks high, read the fine print and this is probably why. I will follow with some preview pics.  I will be working through this stuff in the coming weeks. ✌️ Have a great week!  Malissa

Next up!  I added another video to my YouTube library! Come check it out and subscribe to my channel!  I am trying to keep my videos pretty short yet still informative.  Give me a few minutes of your time and let me know what you think!  This week’s episode is about Robert P Karoff of Karoff Originals and features a very cool foldable coffee table he invented that is currently in my inventory.  

 

I suggest if you are keen on something in my inventory but waiting for an income tax refund you reach out now.  I will hold items short term or with a deposit if for a week or more.  I just sold a pair of ladder back chairs and the dining chairs I am working on recovering plus I have given many shipping quotes in the last week.  I expect things will be moving quickly in the coming weeks and that is a good thing as post holidays has been slower.  Reach out if I can assist you and I will do my best.  I still have weekday hours doing taxes until April 15th and have been pretty busy.  Thanks for following along!  XO Malissa
