Father's Day is coming up! I make these great ties, this one is listed at ThePaintedTiger.etsy.com.

As requested.....egg cup pictures!

Here is another hat for Etsy (www.thepaintedtiger.etsy.com), read more in the posts below to find out about Etsy, the home for handmade items.

Haven't made much lately, so thought I better get going! The result is this fun Etsy Squid Hat.


On the Ebay front, I am taking advantage of the listing sale that was on Tuesday and am trying to clear out previous no-sales. Lots of great stuff, check it out!

Etsy! Things are happening over there! Check it out by clicking www.etsy.com, or clicking the poster in the sidebar (thanks, mcaplan!). Everything is handmade (well, most everything), and you can spend hours of shopping bliss there!

If you sign up, there's a referral box, so please let them know ThePaintedTiger sent you!

Here's my latest stuff on Etsy....sold this green & yellow cord, and posted this rainbow of cotton yarn.

Pottery Planters & Vases! Starting Saturday evening, I will be auctioning pots from Haeger, Red Wing, McCoy, and others. Here's a selection.

Ah, DSL!!! After years of dialup, we finally broke down and got DSL. Let's just say that I listed the 20 auctions that I posted this week in about the same time it took to do 5 before. Certainly much more fun! Here's some of the chalkware I put up.

My how time flies! Been taking a break from Ebay with Easter coming up. Hope to get something posted this weekend, but it could be interesting what with the Holiday and a potential change in our internet service this week.


Here's a pretty scarf I dyed...reminds me of Daffodils. It is for sale at ThePaintedTiger.etsy.com

Silk Cords -


Spring break this week, which means I've been chasing kids instead of listing auctions. I did manage to get these silk cords dyed for LoopityLoopGlam on Etsy, and she has outfitted them with the cool clasps and charms. Said she sold a bunch over the weekend.

Tumblers!







Here's a bunch that go up for sale Saturday. The daffodil and 'kite' sets are Anchor Hocking (two different marks). The daisies are unknown. The child's pink elephant, blue lambs, and squirrels/deer are all unmarked.

Received two questions about the egg cups today, one from a very nice lady who wanted to know combined shipping for about 8 to Australia. Thus I discovered Economy Letter Post (Surface). Slow, but cheap. She bid, so now 16 out of the 26 auctions will sell! Yipee!

It is good have this encouragement...my enthusiasm has been waning. I'll have to get back on the ball about listing.

Cookie Jars, Glasses, and Bottles....oh My! The egg cups are going ok on Ebay, the proof is in the closing pudding, so to say. Next week is going to be an interesting mix of Pontil Bottles, Cookie Jar Lids, and retro glasses and pitchers.

I went a sorting through the many boxes of stuff and began organizing them by material or type. I have a box of toys, another of vintage games, and others with metal dishware, melmac, pfaltzgraff, vases/planters...some McCoy, Haeger, etc, a large collection of fireking/pyrex, all the cutlery with bakelite handles you would ever need, and a pile of figurines. It'll sure keep me busy!

I was greatly amused at my research for the cookie jar lids. The Yarn Doll (complete) is listed in the cookie jar book for $130, and the Majorette by Royal at $500. I saw completed auctions on Ebay for MUCH less than that. Guess E-bay isn't all it's cracked up to be!!!
