Tuesday Inventory

It's been a busy week!  Not only was it Valentine's Day, but we celebrated this sweet girls 4th birthday with a mermaid party...

I keep trying to get my inventory UP and it keeps selling!  I'm not complaining at all though.  I'm excited that garage sale season is just around the corner so I know I will be listing a lot then!

I am super excited about my first 2 finds...

 Pottery Barn Peter Rabbit Crib Bumper - this is no longer made.  Hoping to see this gone for a decent price and quickly.  I think it will but in the meantime it's taking up some serious space!

 I found these boots for $6.  Listed them and they sold within an hour.  OUCH!  It's good that they sold but I might have listed them too low at $85.  But they were a size 5.5 and I know the smaller sizes sit forever.  So better a decent profit than have them sitting around till fall!

 Black Banana Republic Skirt

 Black Gap Hutton Skirt - long skirts do so well!

 H&M Divided dress

 City Triangles cocktail dress

 Travelsmith dress and Chico's new denim jacket

AGB Black cocktail dress - I was SO mad I picked this up thinking it was less than the $7.50 I paid for it.  I was too busy with Lauren when I was paying and didn't pay attention.  Hoping I can at least double my money on it.

 New without tags Ann Taylor silk navy skirt - it is so gorgeous!

Thank goodness things are picking up around here!  It's been a decent week of sales and the vacation fund is building back up!  I managed to pick up a few cute things this week and I'm trying to get my store back up to 300 items.  Whenever I get to that mark it seems to drop quickly after that (a good thing!)

My favorite finds were:

 Gap White Embroidered Shirt/Cover up

 Super cute J. Crew Khaki Cargo pants

 Brown Ann Taylor Dress pants

 Gorgeous Banana Republic Wool Dress Pants

Wool Silk Blend Banana Republic Dress Pants

Ralph Lauren blue nautical jacket

And I have yet to put this in the store, it was a cloudy overcast day here so I think I want to take a better picture.  But I found this 2 pc Ann Taylor Loft suit BRAND NEW with tags!  Love that.  Except I got home and realized that the jacket is size 2 and the pants are a size 4.  Darn it.  The jacket retailed for $139.00 and the pants for $89.00.  I haven't had much luck pairing mix/match sizes like this, so I might have to break this couple up and list them separately.   

Would you do the same?

Vacation Fund - ZERO!

So I am pretty excited!  I drained the vacation fund and booked our Disneyland trip last week.   I am now back to zero and everything made from here on out will cover the hotel stay on the trip (we drive there) and for meals and odds/ends in the park.  It's so nice to know that this is being done with cash!

 This is pretty much how every picture of our trip went last time.  My little guy Greg can't but help make goofy faces.  He is really thrilled to be tall enough to ride Indiana Jones this year.  He missed it last time by an inch!

Lauren is tall enough to ride almost everything, with a few exceptions.  So glad she can go on Soarin over California with us - that and California Screamin are my favorite rides!

Speaking of which, I am totally bribing Graham to ride on it with me.  Last time I had to single ride it with some random.  I think he needs to man it up at 9 years old and take the roller coaster plunge!  

  (Or not, we'll see.  I certainly won't make him if he gets nervous and says no.)

The best part is that I won't have to cry for 2 hours in the car after dropping off Lauren at her grandparents house.  It will be her first time going!  I booked a lunch at Ariel's Grotto so we could meet all the princesses at once and not have to search the park for them.  She LOVES the princesses!

This has been a busy year with going to garage sales every Saturday, collecting inventory for my ebay store, etc.  but knowing this was the reason is the BEST feeling ever.

I really needed to have some good sales this week and that didn't happen.  I have been saving all year to book our Disneyland trip (My daughter's first time!  I am SO excited!) and the minute I paid the sales came to a screeching halt!    

I have been listing like crazy trying to get in inventory up over the 300 mark and with hardly any sales it gets a bit discouraging.  Hoping things will turn around soon!  Come on people - I've got Dole Whips and Mickey Ears to buy! 

Here is what I have listed and what I found on my scouting trips this week!

 Vintage Wilton Train Cake Mold Pan - how fun this would have been for my boys birthdays when they were younger.  They LOVED trains!

 Gymboree Greek Isle Style Outfit

 Gymboree Freshly Picked Outfit

 Gymboree Burst of Spring Outfit

 Gymboree Lot of t-shirts

 Gap Camel Leather Skirt

 I love this Nautica denim skirt - cute!

And it's heading into prom season soon so I wanted to pick up a dress or two.  This one is from David's Bridal.  

I sold this one last week for $29.99

What did you find this week?  Any new treasures?

This has NOT been my week! Sales have been okay but honestly, I think I got a bit sloppy and had to make a return that was TOTALLY my fault.  Now I am on pins and needles waiting for the world's ugliest shoes to arrive in California.  When they should have been there Friday since I mailed them Priority.

 And who is the rock star seller who was too busy getting her 3 year old to stop climbing on the card display at the post office and declined tracking?  OH YES...moi.  Crap.  Total rookie mistake and *I* am NOT a rookie!  

Lets a  cross a few fingers and pray that they arrive to this woman tomorrow.  

Did I mention I am the first ebay purchase for her ever?  

Ugh.

I did manage to find a few goodies this week.  I went shopping Saturday and dove into the world of selling Pyrex!  I'm hoping to get those listed this week.

                   Clothing wise - this is what I picked up!

 Gap Denim Western Shirt

 Eddie Bauer Striped Shirt

 Chico's Navy Blue Long Jacket

 GNW Black & White Wrap Dress

 Clarks Artisian Black Loafers

                 RWP Wilton Armetale "Loaf of Bread" plate

And I can't believe I found THESE!  Frye two tone vintage cowboy boots! Aren't they adorable?!  If I wore a size 6 they'd be staying in my closet for sure!

Beer Rebate Forms

No, no no...it's NOT what you think!  I don't even drink alcohol - EVER!  But that does not stop me from looking for a hot little money maker called a Beer Rebate in the grocery stores!

These are SO easy to use!  There are tear off pads often located on beer displays.  The company offers you $10 toward the purchase of something like, beef, chicken, paper goods, BBQ items, etc.  
YOU DON'T HAVE TO BUY THE BEER! (at least not in Utah!)

I picked up this one a few weeks ago.  I purchased a roast for $14.00.  

The rebate was for $10.00.  All I had to do was fill out a few quick lines of info and mail the rebate slip along with my receipt for proof of purchase and I will get a rebate check for $10.00 in 4-6 weeks.
 

Bringing the cost of my roast down to $4.00! 

Keep your eye out for these!  They come out most often around holidays and three day weekends!
