Listed craft books again today

Cross Stitch booklets again. I've got a pile more to list. They're steady sellers for me.

I've got more expensive things to list, but my baskets were getting down, so it was time to restock. I had them in stock, just not listed.

Got my $500 down on my Crossfire, he'll be here next Tuesday night. Flying in from Canada. Had to lower a price a bit, but gone is good.

He told me his wife doesn't like to drive his Crossfire, either. He has the turbo charged one.

We're having our version of fajitas tonight. Cheap steak cut into pieces and cooked with Worchestershire sauce. Peppers of all colors and onions to be thrown in and sauteed right before we eat them. They're tasty that way. We'll also be doing corn on the cob. A nice healthy meal!

It was cold last night and the wind was up today, chilling us. It's supposed to warm up and I sure hope it does. I'm spoiled - I love the warm weather here!

Listing more books...

Most of the ones I've listed in the last few days are brand new. I buy them from a remainder house, but not many of them have remainder marks, which is cool!

I've done some craft books, some cookbooks, Americana - the People, will be doing some on Americana - the Land tomorrow.

Looking at the number of books I need to list, I can see that I have a forever job.

Here's an example of what I listed:

Listing books that were living on the floor in the shop...

When I sorted my personal library out and came up with books I decided I could part with, I had no place to put them! So I brought them out and put them in the shop area - on the floor between bookcases. That means if I sell a book out of a category in that area, I had to be real creative to get to the shelf to retrieve them. You ever play that game "Twister" where you had to put your hand or foot on whatever color came up when the arrow was spun? That's what this reminded me of!

I have listed cookbooks, Japanese Magna graphic novels, history books of Washington, reference books for plants and animals, children's books, and I have many more to list. Threw some crochet booklets in there somewhere, too. I'm just going through the piles, listing whatever I find!

I need to do my taxes, but listing is more fun. I'll need a day when I'm feeling real anal retentive to do taxes. I can practically list in my sleep...

Almost through with the Juvenile fiction review for Foreword Magazine. They have one more book they're sending me to read before I make my final choices.

George is getting better every day. He's taking this week off work to heal.

I've found something new to use for my eczema. It's an essential oil treatment a lady created for her business and I think I'll have to order some. When I do, I'll let you know what it is - right now I just have a sample bottle. I have tried various kinds of treatment (all over the counter) and nothing has worked on it. This stuff works!

The next door neighbors got an old car that's been sitting for some time running again. I heard him yahooing in excitement - must be a man thing.

Hope life is going well for you. I'll be listing again tomorrow, too.

If you have an interest in any particular category, let me know. I'll showcase you some books from my stock to see if I can tempt you to buy!

More crocheted scarves I've made...



One is for a friend in Virginia who had a small cerebral stroke last year, and the other is for a friend in New York who wanted one for her sister-in-law who is widowed.

I have such fun working with the different types of yarn and a variety of stitches to make different looks.

I listed children's books today. Did cookbooks previously. You ever cooked a Kangaroo tail? I have a recipe for it.

Sent Mom a box of books last week. Have more to review.

I've twittered a bit, talked with a publisher about my ARC giveaway - he's going to send me a published book to give away instead, and I think I'll read a book from my pile to read and put it on paperback swap next.

Always seem to be busy here.
