Shame, shame, shame

Wow, I can’t believe how long it’s been since I last posted. All apologies. Now the school year is over, though, and I am free to completely dive in to my business endeavor (well, now endeavors)!

I admit I took a break from junk drawer jewelry. I found this piece by chance when my cousin from Lowery’s Loft gave me some harvested jewelry to pick through.  I thought this  was an interesting pin, so I listed it on ebay for $4.99.

Chicago Roller Skate Company pin

After just a little digging, I found a listing on Etsy that has the original paper backing on it:

A little bit of background from Flickr:

Founded in 1905 by Elisha Clark Ware, and run with the help of his sons. Chicago Roller Skate Company became the largest manufacturer in the roller skating industry through most of the 20th century. – CraigIn Spring

And now the company continues its trek through time… or is it rolling through time? (Ah ha. Yeah, a pun. I couldn’t help it.) http://www.chicagoskates.com/

Here’s the song that is stuck in my head (hence this post’s title): Shame, Shame, Shame – Kenny Wayne Shepherd

 

What’s next, Mr. Toad?

Are you tired of weekly updates about meager sales? I’m tired of them. This is  the last one. If I remember, I might do a monthly bit. In a surprise ending, I earned $21.47 this go ’round. What could  be considered better news: No new spending!

Earned $182.26

So I’m up to an 89% ratio of earnings to expenditures.

Probably shouldn’t bother

I’m in quite a slump, but it’s my own fault for ending a listing on a Friday instead of a Sunday. Experiment failed.

Earned $160.79

Yes, that’s just $1.25 more than last week.

Spent $204.30

I dropped 8 bucks at the thrift store on some stuff I thought might sell well. We shall see.
