Ice Tea and Sun!

It is so hard to stay focus on working when the weather is so nice. Not that I'm wishing for cold rainy days. But the sun keeps calling my name. So I have to answer it by going outside and basking in it.

Here is a peek at all the gardens. Can't believe that there are wax beans already!! The tomatoes are starting to flower. Going tonight to get cages for the tomatoes and trellis for the beans, should have done this sooner. I might have to learn how to can this year, but I won't. I will be sharing with the neighbors!

So now onto how I make other peoples day a little brighter. I claimed to be taking a hiatus from thrift shopping for the next couple of weeks to I can focus on other things, but I know I'm just fooling myself! I love the trill of finding great items. Going through racks after racks, from one store to the next. Looking like a crazy person. So guarantee there will be new listing going up on Monday.

See I spend my whole weekend shopping, like a crazy person. We, Husband and I, usually hit up 5 stores locally and if time and money allows there are about another dozen or so that we can do. After all the shopping is done, it is prep time. Taking tags off of items, Giving them another inspection, looking for damage. Then the washing/cleaning, quick iron if needed. Pictures. Researching and listing. After the listings are done all the social media works cites are updated. Finger cross that everything sells quickly. That is the cliff notes to ibchilly.

Well that is all there is for today.

Over The Moon

Well it's been awhile. But here we go. Just over two weeks ago the lady that worked for me doing all my social media, quit. Left me high and dry out of the blue. So after changing all my passwords I had to do a self taught crash course. The work that she did do was great and really helped me a lot. She will be missed.

Moving on! My gardens are doing great! Corn plants are several feet tall. Wax beans are starting to flower. And Tomatoes are filling out. I just love going outside everyday to water and pull weeds. My only wish is that I could have more room for more fresh yummy veggies.

Now on to work. In four months since being on Twitter it has grown up to 3.5k followers. Pinterest is up to 310 people. In the two months that I have been on Instagram, it has been the slowest in growth with a low count of 78 followers. I started a Facebook group last month called "ibchilly" so far has 88 people. All slowly growing.

All the social media groups have really help with my sales! I always want more! So please stop by  http://stores.ebay.com/LemonCrave and buy! There are hundreds of items. My favorite items to find are Anthropologie, Chico's, CAbi and regulars like Ann Taylor Loft, Ralph Lauren and Quacker Factory. In the men's department Tommy Bahama, J. Crew and all thing Disney. If your into vintage items and love Hawaii, go see all the vintage Hawaii Postcards for the early 50's. I also have several dolls from the 70's.

If your not into vintage items that's okay. But you can't pass on cake. I have a lot of great Wilton cake pans and chocolate candy molds. Also Ralph Lauren tablecloths and napkins.

So if none of that is your cup of tea and your looking for that special steaming hot cup of coffee, Go check out all the cool mugs that would look great in your hand.

That is all folks. ibchilly

Working Hard Wednesday

I have spent the best part of the last 24 hours Tweeting out about 700 eBay listings, Updating Instagram, adding pins to Pinterest and posting on Facebook.

Moving on to taking photos of a bunch of vintage mens Hawaiian shirts, Tommy Bahama shirts. And for the women, Anthropologie and Free People Skirts. Once the clothing is done I will dig through some of the totes to pull out some cool items.

So great to see all the people liking, retweeting, pinning all my great finds.

Go visit any one of my social media hot spots! And don't forget to stop by my store and check out all the new items added daily.

Troublesome Thursday.

After doing all the photographing and researching today, I settled down to do the listings on eBay. There was 3 lots of craft books. Counted Cross Stitch, Quilting and Crochet books. The biggest lot was the counted cross stitching lot of 60. Well after listing each title and artist of all 60 books I got distracted and hit a wrong key and LOST all my work!!! I just wanted to cry! So needless to say after redoing that listing I was just burned out.

Guess what I will be doing all day tomorrow??? That's right, listing on eBay. I know that it will be another challenging day with a lot of researching for all the odd ball items I have right now. I just have to push through them and get back into my comfort zone of clothing.

My second pleasure in life is my garden, my sweet corn is almost a foot tall now. Can't wait to be eating fresh goodness this summer.

Sourcing ~ Listing

Well I just got done listing a big batch to Anthropologie, J. Crew, Neon Buddha, and Tibi Shirts, Jackets and sweaters. Oh, lets not forget the Chico's!! Some are vintage while others are new with tags. So weather your looking for a hot trending top or a hipster vintage chic. I have it all.

Getting ready to photograph a bunch of vintage craft sewing books for quilting, counted cross stitch and crotchet. So if your into crafts be on the look out for these.

Now if your into coffee, I have some new mugs that will be going up soon also.

My time is now divided between eBay and my gardens. The wax beans are getting tall and filling out nicely. The sweet corn is split into 2 batches, planted 2 weeks apart and looking good. I have 12 tomato plants. 2 pepper plants. I did have lettuce... killed all of them, oops!!! Note to self remember to bring them in so they don't bake in the hot sun. Lesson learned!
