Christmas Cash

I had to take a little blogger break.  With the surgery done (and a fantastic recovery I might add!) we as a family decided to finally purchase a new little friend.

Meet Miss Darcy, Duchess of Knightsbridge
She is a King Charles Cavalier Spaniel and we have been saving and looking for her for over a year now.  
We weren't planning on getting a dog until the spring, but the timing was great now since we are replacing all our flooring in the spring.  Smart, right? 
Let the puppy training begin!  
She is just the sweetest dog and we all just love her so much already.  

Now that Halloween and my sons birthday have passed, it's back to business and earning some extra Christmas cash!
I think I mentioned awhile back that my regular shopping place changed their pricing.  I am now having to go elsewhere and be WAY more particular about what I buy.  It's meant listing fewer items (from about 40 per week to 20) but my sales average has gone from $12 per item to $22. So really, less work for the same amount of money coming in. 

I'm selling some of my daughter's Gymboree outfits that she has outgrown...
 Gymboree Cozy Cutie 4T Gingerbread Shirt, Jeans and Striped Sweater 
(I'm sad about this outfit, it was a favorite of mine on her!)
 Gymboree Kitty Glamour 4T Jumper Dress
Gymboree Sweeter Than Chocolate Cardigan Sweater 3 

Here are some other things I picked up this week...

I'll decide on gifts once I see how much I can make selling in the next 3 weeks!  
Wish me luck!

  1. Oh my gosh! She is the cutest puppy ever! Makes me puppy hungry...
    I just left a long winded message on your MFP wall and then realized it would have been just as easy to email you or leave a blog comment. I'm glad you are recovering well. And I'm so glad they finally figured out what was wrong! Here's to no more trips to the ER!!

    1. Kari - there is an awesome site called Gymbohaven where you can look up past clothing lines. I usually already know since my daughter is just wearing hers for 1 season, but it's really helpful when selling items I come across at yard sales! Hope this helps!

  3. Kari - check out the Gymbohaven website. All the line names are there with photos. Sorted by year and big girl, baby girl, newborn, ect. I've been using it for years.

  5. Congrats on the puppy.

    I'm with Kari in that I'm curious as to how you know what collections the Gymboree items are in? I see them all the time at the thrift store but have no children so wasn't sure how to go about listing them. Thanks!
