Teddy Bear Bella Happy Horse

I thought I blogged about this before, because I clearly remember the sale. But it was still unmarked in my sales list. Anyway a young man came to my door and told me he was straight on his way to a little girl's birthday party. Turning three or four I'm sure she didn't mind not getting it in a box from a shop.

The stuffed animal comes in sizes from 22 to 150 centimeters. Mine was 70 (deducting now from the size of my table). I let it go very cheaply at €5, but I'm sure I did my research at the time and the prices in 2016/17 were different. But otherwise I think I was just happy to make anything out of it. But Bella new this size today is around €64, but I see discounters selling the 1 meter at €36, where other sites ask up to €200!. Weird how that can vary that much! Looking back I'm not unhappy about the deal.

Leg Shaped Plank

I can't remeber what happened to this object, but it came together with the fish planks that I wrote about in this old post. Perhaps sold at a market, but not sure. Who wants a stocking or tights display at a car boot sale?

Retro Kitsch Plastic Picture Frames

My dog walking neighbour brought me this frame, to sell not for the picture of course. Or maybe not. Because though a horrible thing in my point of view and it's all plastic (most likely made in China or so) it was pretty intact and where I had hoped for a bid of €5, within days someone offered €15 and payed quickly. I had to pack it up and ship it but no problem, costs covered. It sure made my day 2017-01-21!

A bit confused with this one. Also from my neighbour. In admin it says kitsch mirror from Xenos. But I find only this frame. No mirror in it.

Smaller, but with glass, and somewhat more tasteful. Found and sold €5 more or less same period.

Vintage Enamel Jug

Some people collect vintage enamel kitchen products, but then preferably with the mark of a factory, like Brabantia. This jug was of unspecified origin. But many people just love the stuff wether it's valuable or not, or even just retro (it flies out at the thrift shop). I belong to the latter. I would have kept this lovely green jug if I had place to store it. Because it wasn't decorating my kitchen, like my two really old jars and not serving any daily use. For me it took five months to sell because I guess it's more of a shop at sight product, but then finally I made someone happy in exchange of €2,50.

Diva Donna Plastic Shoes

Weird pair of shoes, all in plastic and rubber, unknown brand. Yet sold after two months, April 2017 €5. I did believe in them though. They were different. Some people just look for that!

Outdoor Lanterns For Pillar Candles

I thought these were cute.  Including rust giving a ready made shabby chic look, but otherwise complete and intact. And in better condition than the one in this old post. Just not a product I would ever use. I think buyer also just took them as they were. Found February 2017, sold four weeks after €6.

Hackman Cast Iron Pan

My Man loves to cook in cast iron, but we never had it until we found this one in... forgot when, but maybe somewhere 2010 or before when we still walked around on trash nights. Meant to be a keeper, but he wanted bigger! We finally bought one at IKEA with two liters more of content. Used that for years but then, one lucky day there was a real Creuset at the thrift shop. Looking up later the model could have been worth around €300 new. But second hand I thought €25 would be okay. Only coming home I asked did he actually want it. Never heard a bigger yes! He was in front of the door at opening time the next morning to be sure to get it! Difference is mainly the enamel inside which the others didn't have. But otherwise it's mainly the name. I then put the Hackman from Finland for sale. It turned out to be a product people could buy with discount from a Dutch supermarket with collected points. Listed 2017-02-19, sold the next day. At €15 I still had about half of that. 

Hemand Backseat Bicycle Basket

This is a plastic basket designed by or for a Dutch shop, Hema, that looks like the basket you use in a supermarket or grocery shop, but adapted for fitting on the luggage carrier of a bike. They even won a prize for it. Combining shops's name Hema and Dutch for basket, mand, the called it Hemand. As you can see it hangs part over for extra stability and is easily attached and detached with the bungy cords, so you can quickly take it in a shop and put it back on with your groceries. I tried it out but there was not enough storage space in it for me.

Despite the award the thing is not for sale anymore. I was happy to get rid of it at €3, to someone who did love it, but who's old one was broken.
