Welcome to Second Time Treasures Blog and Ebay too

Hello everyone, and Welcome to Second Time Treasures! So sorry to have nothing to show...yet. I have projects around me that need to be finished. Just having a hard time with finding the time to complete some things when I am dealing with this house, priming rooms to be painted, contractors, and a landlord that might not like me soon. Sorry to say, but some days I am by myself doing it all....no pitty please. Just an explanation as to why things do take me a bit longer sometimes:)

Weather is getting beautiful out!! Horrid wind past couple of days, but I guess that is better than having snow too, right?:) Sorry to say I have not had much time with the wonderful weather changes to get out, and do some thrifting. But, have worked with customers on a sale here and there with different venues I sell with. That is always fun:) And...I did open another account with Ebay naming that one Second Time Treasures as well. LilacsNDreams will be my main account since I have had that since 2004, I have other venues I sell at with that same name, but thought maybe another account would help me a bit with working on some things with my inventory too. 

I am still trying to work on getting things ready to move to another state. I have gone through boxes, and donated, added some things for sale, and in the community either given some things away, or selling a few of our bigger things too. I have been going through boxes again...slowly....for the second time, changing my mind, and donating more things too. Heck, when I get to where we're going it will be a new area, new thrift stores, new flea markets, and more fun in getting things back into my collections. Some things I can replace, and have fun with it too...right?:)

Sorry, not really much news to add to this page of my blog, but sure do appreciate you visiting with Second Time Treasures today! Thanks for stopping by everyone, and see you again soon!:) Take care.....

Above you will notice pictures for some items I have done so far. Clicking the titles will take you directly to the pages they are on with more pictures, and details. These along with others can be viewed in my Artfire Store. I have more pieces at home to be working on like a wooden box I painted that has 3 small drawers, and some other items I will be painting as well. I have done quite a bit with different glass pieces, and some plates and saucers. I have more ideas, things sitting here to be worked with, some papers to sort through to use, need to get some more hodge podge, and all of that fun stuff.

I started selling online in 2004, and my start was with Ebay. Since then I have moved onto other venues, have learned some things along the way, enjoy selling my vintage collectibles as they are a passion of mine. But, I felt as though something was missing. Like I needed more, or there was more I was suppose to do. 

I would spend time reading things on the internet, looking at all the wonderful creations of others, thinking, imagining, smiling, and thoughts of  "I can do that, or....I use to do that....or I did something like that once". Memories of being on grandparents' farm, playing in the empty hen houses, painting, putting pictures on the glass of windows, sewing with grandmother, and creating things then. The thoughts of childhood, the creations then, thought I grew out of it, and who would have guessed there would be a market for it today. So, this brings out "The Kid in Me", and I am enjoying it. 

Thanks for visiting LilacsNDreams Second Time Treasures page, and hope you enjoyed your first visit. You are welcome to comment, and share with everyone here. Till the next time my blogging friends.
