Bubble Wrap, Beads, and Bow-Wows

Why is it that everything always happens at once? Does the universe know when you're under the gun?

Last week was totally insane. There was all the getting-ready for Clover Market -- and I mean all the behind-the-scenes stuff that had to happen BEFORE we loaded up the cars -- designing and printing tags, business cards, and signs, buying a tent, pricing and tagging the actual items...

I also had two job interviews, a doctor's appointment, a meeting with the school principal (in a good way), a freelance design job to finish and a dinner dance meeting. Oh, and I also hosted Bunko that Friday night!

Then there were the online sales. I had a good week, so I'm not complaining, but everything sold was big, fragile, and heavy! It took me three hours to bubble wrap everything individually and pack it up. I must be the slowest shipper ever!

But it did all get done. And you know I still hit the yard sales on Saturday morning, right? What am I, some kind of wuss?

How disappointed would I have been if I had missed all these Christmas yummies?

These indented balls have tiny figurines and trees inside. Well, three out of four do.

This elongated one is pretty awesome.

Mercury glass beads, which I never find, and always drool over when I see them on other vintage blogs.

The finds weren't limited to just Christmas -- check out these too-cute bride and groom figurines.

This sweet Baby Ben clock with aqua numbers is already sold to a good home!

I don't usually buy doggie needlework, but thought this was too cute to pass up.

And that may have been cute, but this was adorable!

I remember we had one of those diorama Christmas ornaments. It had a deer and a tree inside.
