Friday Finds

 I have not been out sourcing much, I did however stop into a local thrift/antique store.  I don't go in to often because it is jammed pack with stuff, I get overwhelmed.  I did run in to check out the silverware, I don't know if you have silverware that goes missing in your house, I suddenly had very few spoons left.  I figured I's grab a bag of spoons and wander the store.

To my surprise I stumbled upon two Norwegian tea cups and saucers by two different companies.  I couldn't leave them behind.  

 

1.  Turi-desgin Lotte Figgo Flintz Norway hand painted silkscreen cup and saucer (blue and white).  I paid $8 for it.  I need to research it further.

2. Porsgrund Norway cup and saucer (white with a rosemaling design), I paid 6 for it.  I have another one I received years ago.  I need to research these further.

Poshmark Changed Shipping.

 In September Poshmark made a cost saving move on shipping for the platform.  Change will save buyers some money on shipping cost, by switch from USPS Priority Mail to USPS Ground Advantage.  Shipping went from $8.79 down to $6.49, this is up to 5 pounds.   The ground advantage does come with the same insurance coverage as before.  If you chose to ship an item priority mail there will be a $5 additional fee charged by the USPS.  

If you still have Priority mail boxes unopened packs of 10-25 can be returned to your local post office.  With the change you can use your Amazon boxes. or other boxes.  Be sure to remove all the old labels/stickers.  Make sure the boxes are still sturdy with out any damage.  You can pick up some boxes and poly padded envelopes at your local big box retail stores, though the prices vary.  This cost will eat into your profits. 

No Market Trend Monday Today.

 Instead of focusing on the market trends in sales on Etsy or Poshmark, I want to encourage getting any all Holiday themed items listed, especially Thanksgiving and Christmas.  Last week I heard a report on the radio, retailers have reduced the amount of new decor for Christmas due to the tariffs.  Home Depot announced they ordered a limited number of lights, artificial trees and other Christmas decor items for this season.  If you have Christmas items you purchased to resell now is the time to get them listed.  With the reports of potential shortages people will be looking to eBay, Poshmark, Mercari, Offer Up, Facebook Marketplace and other to find decor items. 

Friday Finds, Week of October 5, 2025

I did a bit of sourcing this week, I stopped into one thrift shop and one antique/home decor market.  I only picked up a couple of items.

First I picked up this pair of vintage milk glass chamber candle sticks.  These would have had glass hurricanes to go with them originally.  When I found them there where no glass hurricanes with them. I paid $3 for the pair.  I plan to list them for at least $20.

Second I picked up this vintage mercury glass Santa ornament at a local antique/home decor market.  I picked this up for $4  I am not going to sell this one.  

I am trying to limit what I pick up while out sourcing.  I really want to focus on getting through my previous picks.

Enjoy the weekend!
