Clearing

Wow. Thanks to everyone who took me up on my offers of stuff. I've got a lot going out the door and I appreciate it. Drop me a private message through LJ (or email me) if you don't have my phone number and we'll arrange a time for pick-up.

I have a few more things that I forgot to list yesterday. Free for the taking:

Two little curtain tie-backs shaped like teapots. Cute, kitchy, and 50s-vintage.

Several coins from around the world, all with women/goddesses as a motif on at least one side.

Two sandalwood folding hand fans, still in their little Pier One boxes.

A couple Mary Stewart paperbacks: Wildfire At Midnight, and Airs Above the Ground. I'm holding the hardbacks for my mom, but if she doesn't want them, they'll be available, too: This Rough Magic, The Ivy Tree, and The Moonspinners.

Not free: I still have hand-dyed yarns from [livejournal.com profile] bestill. They're Brown Sheep brand yarn, and I've got about six or eight skeins of both colors. One's a slightly garish variegated pink, and the other is a dark variegated cranberry. I would like to get at least a little bit of money for these.

I would love the fans.

I have a friend who is a coin collector, are they spoken for?

[identity profile] clevermanka.livejournal.com 2009-06-05 03:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Not yet!

These are not collectible coins, though. I bought them in a lot, like 200 coins for ten bucks. I honestly doubt a serious collector would be very interested. They're of more interest to someone who wants them for their sentimental value because of the feminine portrayals.

Edit: This isn't to say I don't want your friend to have them, but perhaps you could ask about his/her level of interest first?

IF his friend is not interested I would be, also I'll look at the yarn if it's still around on the 20th.

OK! I don't think you'll go for the pink, but the cranberry might work for you. There's enough for a sweater.

Believe it or not, I wear pink sometimes. However it does depend on the shade. My goal is to learn to do a sweater someday.

oooh I'll like the tea pot tie backs!

[identity profile] clevermanka.livejournal.com 2009-06-05 04:08 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll pack them up with the merry widow. =)

Woot! Heh Black Lace + Tea Pot tie backs = Moi! [chuckle]

Mary Stewart me up, please! I'm still recovering from the horrible NYC termite incident where most of mine were eaten!

[identity profile] clevermanka.livejournal.com 2009-06-05 04:52 pm (UTC)(link)
OK! I'll bring them to campus on Monday.

Excellent! Thanks. :)

How much do you think it would cost to post the coins to Scotland? Those appeal to me...

[identity profile] clevermanka.livejournal.com 2009-06-06 01:20 pm (UTC)(link)
I've got so many local peole who want them...I hope you're not offended ithat I'd rather give them to people who can come to my house to pick them up instead of me dealing with mailing a package overseas.

[identity profile] ajnastarheart.livejournal.com 2009-06-06 02:45 pm (UTC)(link)
No problem! That's perfectly fine... :)

I actually thought you lived in the UK - *headesk*

Need to slooow down...

[identity profile] starwyse.livejournal.com 2009-06-05 07:16 pm (UTC)(link)
I would love the yarn!
How much, $20, $40, more...?

I could actually get to Lawrence this weekend and pick it up if that's ok with you

If you want both bags of yarn, you can have 'em both for $30! I would love to get these out of the house this weekend if possible. I think these colors would suit you much better than they'd suit [livejournal.com profile] nottygypsy. Do you still have my phone number?

Since you are doing such a great job of clearing things out, you should come clear things out for me when you are done. You know, in your free time.

Har har.

[identity profile] miischelle.livejournal.com 2009-06-05 10:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Everyone wants the coins, including me!
Curses!!!!!

[identity profile] clevermanka.livejournal.com 2009-06-06 01:18 pm (UTC)(link)
I think I might divvy them out since they seem so popular. I have about fifteen of them. People could pick their favorite few.
