    Wow people this is a business not a hoarding. Very organized and clean. She does well and makes her living this way. She may not have a brick and mortar resale shop in a town, but she is very smart to use her home. Very entrepreneur. Love your channel.

      @Jessicaro Год назад +2

      it is not hoarding you are right. but it is also bad business. if you have five thousand items at home and only sell one or two a day that is a problem your inventory is to big at that point. the year only has 365 days. i mean keep it less. she is very organized i can tell you that but no, this is to much.
      but i guess you tube makes it up a bit.

    Artwork Storage Jinga: to avoid the Jinga game and to prevent the hanger hardware on one frame damaging another, I store my listed artwork vertically on different height racks, set to a few heights. I also face them frame face to face and back to back on the shelf, with a layer of cardboard or 1/4” foam (like poster board) between them. I just cut it to the height of the shelf space. As I pull the art, I leave the cardboard/foam spacers on the shelf, waiting there until they are needed again. When I source the art, I put them into the cart and truck back to back or face to face in pairs

    Also would love to see a more detailed clothing prep, something where you actually go through a stack of unprocessed clothing and show how you determine what to wash or not and how you iron or steam and then folding process. I love how you are so open and share so much of your process. You are so giving.

    Lathe Turned Bowl: yes, like the evidence that a piece of glass was hand blown, from the pontil marks left from snapping it off the rod, the holes on the bowl are evidence that the block of wood the bowl was made from was screwed to the lathe chuck at some point. For some lathe projects, the “base” where the marks would be is cut off, after the lathe turning, to give a smooth finished product. Great descriptive use of the term.

That's an outrageous statement to hear for someone who has been following you from the beginning. If folks continue or watch previous videos, they will see just how much you buy and sell. You are always shipping and in a thrift store daily to replenish all you sell. So my point about the hoarding hurt ME. If you all follow on Instagram Karen list her sales as well. Please stop name calling folks, it's mean and unnecessary. God bless you Karen. Hope you are enjoying your well deserved get away.
