I have a bunch of stuff to sell, give away, or toss and I need to find it all homes quickly. I really want to be able to park my car in my 3 car garage again soon! LOL I may end up having a garage sale but some of it isn’t exactly garage sale types of stuff and I doubt the typical person looking at garage sales will be interested in a lot of it or willing to pay what it is really worth.

First off I have this almost full embroidery floss display:

I paid $444 for it and would be happy with $350 or best offer. It would be a great bargain for a quilt, yarn, or craft store. Refills of Presencia floss are available through Brewer Quilting Supply

I also have a large selection of Laini’s Ladies Boutique Collection ornaments. These were quite popular as gift items. I have the counter top acrylic spinner display. If anyone out there knows a local gift shop that might be interested in buying my remaining inventory send them my way.
I also have an almost complete collection of the Laini’s Garden Ladies. These are smaller than the Boutique ladies and hang on curved copper stakes as plant spikes. They have a garden/flower theme. I can’t find a picture on the Bottman site for them now so they may have been discontinued.

I also have two huge (and heavy!) boxes of magazines that I’m tired of tripping over. They are approximately 6-8 months of last years issues of: Cloth, Paper, Scissors, Belle Armoire, Quilting Arts, Somerset Studio and Art Doll Quarterly. I have multiple copies of each issue. I’m going to try adding them to my etsy shop but I don’t typically move magazines very fast there. I also think I have some older scrapbooking magazines in my guest room closet that I’d be happy to just give away. I don’t even remember the years on those. If you are interested leave a comment otherwise they are probably going to Goodwill very soon.

The last things I’m going to mention are my retail displays. I have three small slat-wall displays that have casters so they can be moved around easily. They are “H-shaped” and stand about 4 foot high. I also have a box of acrylic shelves and hooks for them. They are great for a small retail space because they hold a lot of product and can be moved around easily. I bought them used and am willing to part with them for the best offer that comes my way!
 
I also have a 7 foot tall fabric display shelf that I bought from a local quilt shop that closed last year. I thought I’d use it to hold fabric bolts here at home but it is too big and heavy to move up to my second floor store room so it is taking up space in the garage. It is built from white melamine and has slat-all on one side.

I also have the gorgeous oak stair-step style fabric display that my Dad built me out of recycled oak barn wood.  
It is also on casters so it is easily moved around. I love this piece because it was made from wood reclaimed from our old barn that I grew up playing and working in with my Dad’s own hands. It holds A LOT of fabric too. I’d still like to find a way to get it up to my store room and use it but it just doesn’t fit currently. I’d be willing to sell it if the offer was right and I knew it was going to a place that would appreciate it and was worthy!

In addition to all of this I have more books than Borders and living room furniture taking up valuable space that I need back sooner rather than later. I just don’t have the energy or desire to canvas local shops looking for homes for all of this. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions I’m all ears.
