album updates.

Wow, what a day it was of donating items away!


The album will be in the works these couple of days as we have decided to give a lot of items away instead of selling them. Will be taking down a lot of photos and uploading new ones.


Look forward to it. :)

monday refresh

It has been a long time since I've posted as I've been going through major springcleans. In fact, after a laborious couple of weeks, I just ended my second weekend garage sale today. Lesson learned (or hypothesis confirmed, depending on how convinced I am that I was preempting such a result): Singaporean's are not quite up for garage sales...it's just not part of the culture, I suppose.


However, I still need to clear out so that we can move out.


You might have noticed that I've made substantial changes to The Album as I've been taking pictures of hundreds of items and uploading them. It seems that somehow people are a lot more computer savvy and keen for online shopping than I thought. And considering that my things are going for so uber cheap (which is a big thing to people in general), what's not to like?


Do feel free to take a peek in.


I'll be uploading a ton of stuff over the next couple of days (or so I hope my workload allows me to). And, as always, email me at springcleangirl@gmail.com if you'd like anything.


I just hope the items would move faster so that I can be sure we have a nice clear house by Christmas.

Here are some of the more interesting items that I've recently uploaded:

Cute Teddy Bear Mini Cake Pans.

3 for $10!

Wilton Nesting Teddy Bear Cutters.

(to make from cubs to grizzlies) :)

$7

Beautiful Cast Iron Teapot

(it even has a filter inside)

$60

This pot, I almost sold for nothing. But it turned out to be a super collectors item now.

Still, it's selling at $50, was valued at $75 in 06. Probably worth a lot more now.

These were absolutely beautiful Brass Shell Napkin Rings. 

They need to be polished, but they're still really pretty!

$15

A set of two traditional Peranakan baskets going for 

only $25.

I'm even selling off furniture...

Large plastic drawers 

$10.

More stuff inside. :)

More items added to the online album

Here are some of the items that have been added today. :)

A cake display stand and cover.

Only $5

Brass Kueh Boulu Moulds...

I really like this one:

Goldfish! :)

I'm selling off furniture too, and this was the best steal:

It's a convertible leather bed/sofa.

We bought it for over $1000, and we're now selling it off at $50.

Yes, that's more than 95% off.

Doughnuts anyone?

Only $10.

Here's another "big ticket" steal:

A whole convection and rotisserie oven.

Brand new, and going at only $99.

And then there are the beautiful items...

Here are some sushi chopsticks from Japan for the real sushi lover...

 

A Christmas present maybe? :)

New Online Garage Sale Album Open!

Finally, the Garage Sale is here again!

Here is the ONLINE ALBUM that's open!

I've even (amazingly) done one up in Chinese!

Some of the prices are to be confirmed, but I will be changing them over the next few days.

Will be continuing to upload items in the next few days.

Can't wait to finish this project!

happy machines

Finding this machine made me a VERY happy girl today...

I went super label-happy.

Everyone should get themselves a label maker. :)

Update: The shelves are in! Well, most of them are anyway. SO much moving has been happening that I've hadn't had the time to update. Will get a chance once I've waded out of this mess.

project updates

Welcome to my current "normality" in life

Gosh, I can't believe it's November already. What a week it has been - with major moving and cleaning, and having to juggle new job responsibilities. There has been a lot of shifting in logistical schedules, but finally, tomorrow is the day that we take down the wooden shelves and move them over to HQ. Hopefully, that would speed up the organizational process and get us back on track with the cleaning and moving.

Here are some long-overdue bits that I finally found time to put together:

Yes, I even put up a packing station in case people bought glass/ceramics. 

And yes, those we my pathetic cookies...better planning next time. :)

THIS was my pride and joy of the day though (after we moved everything out to be sold):

Clean empty shelves = PURE euphoria.

Especially after seeing what it used to look like

This is another shot of the same area at one time:

(The space is actually all messy now again though because we had to shift all that was left after the garage sale back in. :( But it will get better! These are also the same shelves we'll be moving tomorrow. Can't wait!

About the new project, here are the three other areas that I've been tasked to tackle:

And as per normal, boxes and boxes of random stuff, pure disorganization, and all sorts of "friends" await. 

0_o"

I seriously can't wait to get the shelves moved and see all these areas in proper order.

And I can't wait for the BIG celebration once I get that settled.

(Especially that I will finally be able to get back to investing time with the home-projects)

I'm working on an online garage sale album and prolly going to get some up on ebay.

The next garage sale is most likely scheduled the week after next. 

Details will be released on Thursday - once I can have a better estimation of how much more needs to be done after the shelves are moved and set up.
