Parts & Pieces for Lamp Makers & Other Creatives

I love when I find things in pieces. I also love the creativity it takes to put pieces together to make a whole. Whether it’s refurbishing them to make them what they once were or, creating something entirely new and different.

A variety of items in my stores but, I'm partial to vintage & lighting. When original stories fade away, create new ones this very day
I found this lamp in a store on a shelf waaaay up I found this lamp in a store on a shelf waaaay up high. I asked if the lamp was for sale & was told, that's not a lamp, it's a bowl. OK, is the bowl for sale? When the store owner brought the ladder out I knew I should probably just buy it because he had to maneuver around a mess of fragile things. Up close, we saw it was indeed a lamp that had been made into a bowl. It was very crudely put together so I decided to take it apart, clean it up as best I could, and sell the glass parts. I love finding parts of things that can be used to either rebuild something or to create other things. Just like how this was turned into a bowl. I love that they thought outside of the box.
I sell online as well as work outside of the home. I sell online as well as work outside of the home. I love it because it means I'm not alone all the time. I say that but, I really am totally fine being on my own πŸ˜‰ The plus side of working a job outside of my reselling business? Shipping supplies. Most, if not all online sellers know what I'm talking about. I'm able to take all of the shipping supplies my heart desires. This little batch of black plastic things were corner protectors for some gazebos my boss purchased due to the pandemic. They protected the roofing which was not glass but, they had incredibly sharp corners. So, now any artwork or anything with dangerous corners will have a bit more protection when shipped.

I think these would make a great gift for those welcoming little ones into the world or you could start researching with your children or grandchildren making them a part of learning a bit of your family history.

You know how I like to take cool pics while photog You know how I like to take cool pics while photographing my listings? When I was organizing all of my pictures recently, I did a double take at this one. For a split second I saw the moon. Well, it's obviously 𝘯𝘰𝘡 the moon. It's actually my Lazy Susan I use to make videos of my products going round and round. It's funny to think I could see something so very different than what is, albeit impossible.
Ever wonder how things 𝘳𝘦𝘒𝘭𝘭𝘺 lo Ever wonder how things 𝘳𝘦𝘒𝘭𝘭𝘺 look when you purchase something from someone you don't know and for whom you'll never meet? This is what it looks like for me in my wee little attic. It's my photography station, my shipping station, my listing station...ya know my business station. This is yet another vintage glass shade with a small fitter around 1 5/8" which is currently listed in both my Etsy & Ebay stores. Direct links in profile. I also have a short little YouTube video just to give another perspective. #vintagelampshade #milkglass #glassshade #replacementshade #smallbusiness #shopsmall #etsy #etsyseller #homedecor #decor #etsyfinds #ebayfinds #behindthescenes #hobnailshade
I love mirrors & yes, this is a mirror I'm getting I love mirrors & yes, this is a mirror I'm getting ready to list.. Our house is a small, 1 bedroom & we have, lemme see, 1, 2...7 mirrors. The pictures, I'll use for my listing, look nothing like this but, I like to have fun while taking pictures from different angles offering no helpful information whatsoever but, to me, just look cool 😁

I have multiple passions and trying to do them all I have multiple passions and trying to do them all just doesn't cut it and isn't sustainable. I focus on doing 3 things a day pertaining to my business and one could be as simple as "list one thing on Ebay". I'm looking for progression not perfection.β € β € Having said that, earlier this year I purchased a Cricut Maker. The ladies at my day job each have one and talked me into it. The machine can do much much more than I'll ever know but, sticker making was what attracted me. A few months later and after watching every YouTube video on the matter, I feel pretty confident. Slowly but steadily I gained a skill. This group of lamps and shades are all items I've either sold, have listed or have yet to list. I thought it would be fun to stick one in a package that sells if it's a lamp related item.β € β € Would you enjoy getting a sticker in a package you've received?β € β € #havingfun #multiplegoals #goals #stickermaking #ilovelamps #yayornay
