Things I sold I Wish I Could Have Kept Part 1

Vintage Mid-century modern ceramic wall plaque Girl Head Aqua Hair Pink Lips FAB

I sold this fabulous piece in October 2014. I had it for a while and could have kept it. But we were living in an apartment and I couldn't find a place where it fitted nicely. I hang to it anyway, for my future home. But eventually I decided to list it. No point in hanging to stuff just in the hope you'll find some room in your next house/apartment.

 I bought this piece on ebay France and flipped it on eBay.com. It wasn't cheap but I was positive I could easily flipped it. And I did. I paid close to 40$ and sold for 90$ + shipping. A nice and easy flip, but when I look at it I wish I could have it back.

Does it happen to you too? Sold things you wish you have kept?

Vintage French Enamelware Blue White Sugar Canister Charming

This is a piece I bought online from a "brocante" to resell. I paid, including shipping, about $14, sold for $39.99 so not a huge profit but I knew it would sell. It's a beautiful decor piece for a kitchen. Just as is, or with dried flowers in it. Or fresh flowers too as long as you insert a small glass jar in it to avoid rust.

French enamel pieces are doing quite well on eBay (see what sells here). In fact old antique and vintage enamel seems to be selling good, French or not. Especially containers and coffee pots.

Here are some pictures of my canister:

Received a Package Filled with Future eBay Flips

No yard sales today, I spend the day with the kids. We went walking around Saint-Michel (kids love the Saint Michel fountains and the "dragons" that spill water). We walk along the Seine a bit and went for a lunch at the Great Canadian Pub; unfortunately they were out of Moosehead so I had to settle for a Coors Light.

We got home and I had a package waiting for me. Some lovely little French porcelain pieces I am going to flip. I bought them online and will see how it goes.
