It’s been a while…

Sorry internet, I’ve clearly been slacking in the blogging department. My last post was in October?!?!

Since then…

1. I sold the Fendi Peekaboo bag using eBay’s premier service. Overall, it was a pretty painless process – but as someone who’s been selling on eBay for over 10 years, the loss of control over how much my purse was listed for was a little annoying. Each time it was listed, I saw the price drop another $50.The final selling price was $450 and they only keep and list the bag for 60 days – it sold during the last week they had it before they were going to ship it back to me. I earned 90% of the selling price, as I think I signed on right as the promotion to earn that much ended. If I were to send in the same bag now, I think I would earn 80%.

   Would I use this service again? I’m not so sure. I think I might have earned a little more just listing it myself and being patient – but the professional photos and money-back guarantees were a nice perk of consigning it with eBay. Really, the lack of control over the price was the only major drawback.

2. We’re finally on the last room of the house, the dining room. I’ll post a whole before and after blog post of the house once we’re done with it, which should be in a few weeks – or whenever the rest of the chairs are ordered, arrive and are built 🙂
3. I’m turning 32 in two weeks. Um, yeah… that number looks pretty intimidating when I typed it out just now. – I still feel 22 (note: I said feel, not look unfortunately), just way more sure of where my life in its major directions. I’ve really been reflecting on what my 22-year-old self would think if she saw where I am now. And it’s crazy to start to think where I want to be five or ten years from now.
4. Did I call that Fendi logo print making a comeback or what?!? It’s been everywhere during fashion week – from pants to tights to even visors. I think it might be time to dust off my bag for the spring.
