A third local
site I use is a sort of very simplified Etsy, without any restrictions on
products. It doesn’t do much for me, but it’s cost free and above all
maintenance free. Once listed I can leave the items forever without having to
look at them. So I put my unsold handmades on it and forget about them. About
twice a year someone finds me. It sounds poor but it’s no work at all. Pictures
taken already and I never have to discount anything because the few buyers I
get are specifically looking for what I have. Somehow the listings also show up
better in Google search results than the auction site, especially in the
picture overviews.
So I was
pretty pleased Thursday it brought me a buyer for one of my crochet heart key
chains. They never did anything on Etsy, I sold a few on handmade markets, but
that was that. Curb found yarn, some old beads, ring and clip from free handout cart coins.
If you’re
in the Netherlands or Belgium and got curious, the place is called Marktplaza.
Also on
Thursday I sold another pair of shoes. These are Golddiggas, found a month ago
around the corner.
In the
evening this simple shelf was picked up. Found equally in February, on my favourite
stretch of curb.
Shelves are
good! I found this rack in December and sold it within two days. To the lady
who bought the poster frame.
She also
took a trash can. IKEA Knodd.
Friday,
after over five months I had a buyer for this set of wineglasses. Pretty cool! I’ve
had wineglasses on markets and nobody ever looked, so I had low hopes for this
set. Brought home by the Man.
If I include the books, in two days I made a 'stunning' EUR 27,65, which puts me right on schedule after a fairly slow start of the month.

I love finding treasures that I can use around the house. One of my favorite things to do in the spring is garage sale. I get a lot of great stuff.
