Supply squee!

So I got a package from my grandpa the other day.

Grandpa has become a big crafter of late. He used to make birdhouses and boats, but his sight has been suffering in the past few years and now he has adopted woodburning, along with everything his late mother-in-law did -- notably plastic canvas needlework. I've started giving him yarn for Christmas presents. One of the things he's inherited is some jewelry supply. I didn't think there was much of it -- but apparently there was enough that he decided to pack everything into the Christmas light boxes and send it to me.

... wow.

The shell pendants alone are incredible -- abalone and MOP birds and leaves. Then there's cabs and bails and Lucite and all kinds of lovely things -- much of it vintage.

M and I agreed to keep half and sell half, along with a lot of the fabric and trim and decoupage stuff we have stored, in hopes it will fund a tank of gas for the moving van. So I get all this and more in addition to a bunch of supply listings:

Available here, there, hither, thither, and yon.

We're also having an online moving sale thingy of some of the clothes that M can't wear in a more conservative part of the country, and some of our china and vintage goodies we won't want to store -- so if anyone is interested in fine china, cute plus-size clothes, and awesome vintage stuff check out our eBay listings for a bunch of like-new awesomeness we won't have space for.
