“How to Live Large and Have Fun”, “How to Spend Millions on Credit and Never Pay a Dime”, “Live Large and On Charge…Cards”, “Living High on the Hog: The Art of Budget Busting”…these are all titles of fictitious books, but they might as well be bestsellers.

If you enjoy creating and you constantly hear people telling you that you should sell your creations, it may be time to voyage into the world of selling your crafts for money. Make sure you account for both the cost of the materials as well as the time and effort you put forth to create your goods. Sell Your Crafts!

I actually found a collectors book identifying various helmets, their markings and the companies that made them as well as the year made. That same person may troll neighborhood garage sales and offer to cart away anything left after the sale for free. Others may be appraisers or TV show stars as well!

First of all, if you don’t have a sewing machine, you may want to invest in one. Dress Well On The Frugal. Be Creative. How Much Money Can You Live Off Of?

Pictures below may inspire bag envy!) We had hundreds of resale, consignment and thrift store owners come and see us on Friday. On Sunday, Kerstin Block stopped in to see us (she had come by Friday as well, but before my shift) and I got to meet her, which was really exciting. Last week we had a big week at the store.
