FINDINGS: Ginormous white wicker bird cage

Gotta LOVE finding items that don’t need any work done to them!

 Check out this huge white wicker bird cage I just picked up.

Measures 14″ x 14″ x 30″ tall!  All it needed was a good hosing down to remove the dust.

The bottom slides all the way out, as do what I originally thought were 2 ‘shelves’; since they were placed at different heights in the cage when I bought it.

When putting it back together after it dried, I realized that BOTH of these were ‘floor grates’ and meant to be placed side by side at the bottom of the cage; and NOT 2 shelves, as they had been displayed in the thrift store.  DOH!

Took this cage to Stars just in time for the BIG SALE, which runs through Monday, March 7th.  EVERYTHING in my booth is HALF OFF during the sale!

 

What ARE these?

Mystery of the day.

Bought a bag full of string, yarn and thread at the thrift store the other day and these wood things were in the bag too:

Anyone of you know what these are and it they are worth trying to SELL in my etsy shop.  They are beautiful solid wood.

This little plastic doo-dad was in there too.

And these three wood things.

I’m really just curious as to what they are.  Assuming they have something to do with knitting, so I will never need them.  If these are something that one of you could use, or know someone who needs them; I’d be happy to sell all of them in one lot for $5.00 and the cost of shipping.

*****EDITED TO ADD*****

For some reason the word ‘shuttle’ kept coming to mind when I saw these, but I’ve never SEEN one before, so how would I know what it was?!?!?  But after the first few comments, I decided to do a search and found this information:

http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=weaving+shuttle&qpvt=weaving+shuttle&FORM=IGRE

So, the ARE shuttles!  Weaving shuttles though; nothing to do with knitting.   The offer to sell them CHEAP is still good for a while.  If no one snaps them up, (and now that I know what to call them!) I’ll just sell them in my etsy shop as supplies.

UPDATE:  These WEAVING SHUTTLES have gone to a good home.  Thank you all for your input!

Announcing Sophie’s “Deal du Jour”

Well, the weather was NOT very cooperative for our big sidewalk sale last Saturday. Friday was a GORGEOUS day, sunny and almost warm even. Saturday was FREEZING and windy, getting ready to snow on Sunday.

SO, I’ve got LOTS of stuff leftover from the sale. I’ve set it up on tables in the store and will continue the clearance sale there. AND, I will be offering some of the goodies for sale via the blog!

I get asked if I sell via the blog quite often and I just haven’t until now because it’s just TOO complicated with figuring postage and all. So, to simplify the process I will be shipping in the flat rate priority boxes only. And basically I will just FILL THE BOX with as much stuff as it will hold.

All offerings will be ONE OF A KIND, and sold on a first come basis.

I will post the offering in the blog under the ‘Deal du Jour’ category. To purchase the package, FIRST:  leave a comment that you want it. (whomever comments first, gets it) Then send your payment via PayPal to folkartoriginals@yahoo.com (be sure to say what package you are purchasing in your payment comments)

Once I receive payment, I will delete the package listing from the blog, and ship it off to the purchaser.

To get things started, I’ve got THREE to list. Listing to follow in three separate posts.

I canNOT combine shipping on offers as they are already packaged FULL in flat rate priority boxes. But I will always do my best to give you a great value for your shipping $$,
