A Valdese Blog: Our eBay (and Etsy) Month - July 2012
http://avaldeseblog.blogspot.com/2012/08/our-ebay-and-etsy-month-july-2012.html
This blog is about Valdese, North Carolina. At least some of the time. Most of the time, it is about something else. Things I Have Read. Saturday, August 4, 2012. Our eBay (and Etsy) Month - July 2012. July was our best month this year, at least as far as net profits went. As far as I'm concerned, net is what counts, and our net profits for the month were very good. I know what happened, but I really don't know why it happened. I like international sales, I hope it keeps up. Traditionally the summer mont...

A Valdese Blog: My Mother's Birthday
http://avaldeseblog.blogspot.com/2012/08/my-mothers-birthday.html
This blog is about Valdese, North Carolina. At least some of the time. Most of the time, it is about something else. Things I Have Read. Saturday, August 18, 2012. Today is my mother's birthday. The first part of my self delusion was shattered when a 1st cousin, and my best friend, drowned in Troublesome Creek when it was swollen with spring rains. I remember him as smart, inquisitive and curious, and he was younger than me. He was only 7 years old when he died. I was 8. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

A Valdese Blog: A Change in our Business
http://avaldeseblog.blogspot.com/2012/03/change-in-our-business.html
This blog is about Valdese, North Carolina. At least some of the time. Most of the time, it is about something else. Things I Have Read. Thursday, March 8, 2012. A Change in our Business. We ship almost all items domestically for free. Our more expensive items and/or items which are rigid - most of our antique photos, for example - are shipped as a package. Typically the photos are shipped with delivery confirmation, the postcards not necessarily. It's economics. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Just ...

A Valdese Blog: Simple Thoughts
http://avaldeseblog.blogspot.com/p/simple-thoughts.html
This blog is about Valdese, North Carolina. At least some of the time. Most of the time, it is about something else. Things I Have Read. Updated as the mood strikes. If you ask the question, be prepared for the answer. When you get off an airplane, you're somewhere else. It's hard to find unusual things. The further away in time you are from an event, the more you know about it. Nasty Coincidence Principle: If "A" happens and "B" occurs, don't assume that "A" caused "B". It's easy to make a dog happy.

A Valdese Blog: Our eBay and Etsy Month September 2012
http://avaldeseblog.blogspot.com/2012/10/our-ebay-and-etsy-month-september-2012.html
This blog is about Valdese, North Carolina. At least some of the time. Most of the time, it is about something else. Things I Have Read. Monday, October 8, 2012. Our eBay and Etsy Month September 2012. I suppose it's about time I wrote something about this. I was going to skip it this month, but why mess with success as they say. September was better than August, at least as far as the bottom line. But it was extremely ominous, and I did not like it. We actually are weighting things toward Photo sales, a...

Interesting comments on the previous post, and this is my response to them. First, thanks everyone for your comments, I appreciate them very much. Sounds good to me. I agree that she's uppper. Class It's easier to make fun of poor and ambitionless. I definitely get the sense the person moved to tampa. Maybe just reti...

A Valdese Blog: eBay and Etsy
http://avaldeseblog.blogspot.com/2012/04/ebay-and-etsy.html
This blog is about Valdese, North Carolina. At least some of the time. Most of the time, it is about something else. Things I Have Read. Sunday, April 29, 2012. So, not knowing how it would work, we decided to try and sell our postcards and cheaper items we would not normally mail with delivery confirmation on Etsy. We're moving them over slowly but surely. We started this on the last day of February, so I guess this is long enough to make some observations. There are no auctions on Etsy. At some point -...

A Valdese Blog: The Grass
http://avaldeseblog.blogspot.com/2012/08/the-grass.html
This blog is about Valdese, North Carolina. At least some of the time. Most of the time, it is about something else. Things I Have Read. Monday, August 20, 2012. Little bit of a rant. There is no deeper meaning. We do not consider what we have to be a lawn - it is more of a field. 2.5 acres give or take, (thank heavens part of our property is wooded) of sometimes very steep sloping grass that really should be mowed. It will get away from you quick, if you don't. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Our eB...
