What's on your mind?

Did you know eBay is having free listing until Sept. 7th? You can have up to 100 listings for free! I'm sure they are just as slow as Etsy this time of the year, but I'll give it a shot.

I'm putting a bunch of Pez items on and will put some items I can't sell on Etsy because they aren't old enough.

I have to admit, I've been somewhat disappointed with Etsy lately. Sales are down and I'm annoyed at their priorities. Change the top bar around, now that's important. Let those cronic non-payment folks just keep on going on, let the ones listing items that have nothing to do with vintage, supplies or handmade keep on going on. Yep, I'm annoyed. And does anyone read the Etsy finds newsletters? Same shops over and over again and I've even seen the same shop in the same finds newsletters time and time again. One shop was in the newsletter twice and right beside itself. Wackos don't even notice it? Yep, I'm annoyed.

What's on your mind these days?

Thrifting!

On the thrifting road again! Some cute pieces of jewelry I found. I just love those big enameled flower pins!
If I didn't all ready have a cabinet full of mugs, I'd keep these! They are very heavy glass of the world globe from Nestle.

This is so cute. I think I'll use this as a sponge holder by my sink.

This is an early version of a lint brush! Use it on fabrics and it works like a charm!

I've seen a lot of collector's plates in my times but never found a Dennis the Menace one before! See something you want? Let me know, I'd be happy to set something up for you. That applies to any of the thrift posts you see.

More on Paper Tape

Some of these I like better than others! Like this one, the quilt series, I think would be better in a darker ink color. I'll use it to seal up the small jewelry boxes I use to ship out buttons to customers.
These (above) are just fun. The moons look better in person and who doesn't love Cooties?
Think I'll use the Cootie one to seal up an envelope!

I love the birthday rubber stamp!

I punched out some handmade paper I had laying around and then glued them onto the paper tape. The first one I did using Elmer's Glue and don't care for it, you can see some of the glue even after it dried. So, I switched to my trusty glue stick and am happier with that. The last two, I used a toothpick and applied a very small dab of the glue stick to just the center, then turned the toothpick around and poked the center down. The result are small flowers that are cupped! It gives some dimension to the look.

For these, I punched other colors of the paper tape and applied them to more paper tape. The Mickey Mouse ones are definitely my favorite ones!

So many uses for paper tape! Here's the Diva Dog with the tape I made earlier.

The paper tape can be found in my Etsy shop: www.RunsWithScissors4.etsy.com

Paper Tape Report!

As you know, I'm so hooked on this paper tape! I just didn't know what to do with the plain colored tapes, I really do like the patterned paper best.
So, I thought I'd give this a try and pulled out just two of my small rubber stamps, just to see if it works and it does!

What do you think? The possibilities are endless! Now I can't wait to try more.
