selling stash???

Dec 19, 2010 6 Replies

hi ... i used to read this group religiously whilst attending university; i graduated and moved on .... i am interested in selling my stash ... i realize this might seem a scam, however it is not ... i just don't know where else to go and having a yard sale where i live, yakima, washington, is not going to work -- seems like less people than ever are cross stitching ...



the reason for selling my stash: i no longer can see the small charts/stitches ... also, i do quilting on my sewing machine and just don't have time anymore to *do it all* .... i have oop patterns from shepherd's bush, heart in hand, etc, etc, etc ....



if no one on this list is interested, can i be pointed in the direction to be able to sell this .... i can provide credentials and clear, honest pictures of all the charts (it's really only the charts right now i'm interested in selling) ... also, my home is smoke and pet free and all my charts have been stored inside my home ....



if anyone is interested, please contact me at darlene harris (mailto: snipped-for-privacy@charter.net or mailto: snipped-for-privacy@gmail.com



thank you for your time and merry christmas ...

rec.crafts.textiles.marketplace or ebay come to mind.

I have replied privately with three suggestions. Good luck. Gillian

ebay is very expensive; I have steered Darlene to three other options.

let us know where you decide to list your items so we can have a look.

If by chance you are not in true need of money for your stash, I suggest you consider donating it to a local battered women's shelter or church! Let others have the pleasure of making something beautiful either to sell to benefit the organization or to give as very special gifts! I once had a large stash of yarns and donated it to a local senior citizen's center, and they were thrilled. Much of the materials were made into hats, scarves, and mittens for needy children. Other bits went into lap robes. Still other bits went into sweaters. Most was made into things given to the needy, but almost all of the smaller bits were turned into all sorts of little things sold at the annual arts and crafts sale held to benefit the organization. Everybody benefitted, and the seniors had fun creating things. As you know, arts and crafts materials are not within the budgets of many people.

I love this idea! Even if I want to have a look through it myself, I think this would be a great way to share the joy!
