You are so right, being unorganized is stressful. I didn't know selling on line was going to become a business for me, it started as a hobby. But like most, I love the thrill of the hunt/purchase. Now with a house full of inventory, I am torn between listing and organizing. To help me get it together, I have curtailed my thriftinng until I get a better handle on the situation. Thanks for the video.

As an artist, when we stretch canvas on stretchers we use staples so, staples do not make it cheaply made just stretched by a artist supply co. Only thing I think you are referring to is that when a canvas is stretched properly you cant see the staples unless you look at the back because the canvas covers the whole side and gets stapled in the back of the stretchers. Please don't take this as a criticism, just tryin to share info. Yes they are harmony Kingdom, I collect the treasure "jest" boxes. They are called Treasure Jest because there is always something inside and there is always something that doesn't make sense about the sculpt. Fun to collect.

True! I used to be a gallery artist in san Francisco years ago. My paintings on canvas I stretched myself were highly detailed and sold for high prices. I only ever used a staple gun to stretch them.

Fontanini is made of resin,which is desirable as it's durable and doesn't break. Each piece can retail into mid 20s and up, so getting many for that price is amazing..I'm hoping to find some for my children. (Oh wow, still watching, and you got them all for $6!

Desk Lamp Minute Mark 13: I've had the same lamp model on my office desk for many, many years. Back when I cleared delinquent storage units I'd process a hundred lamps a year, but something about the way the wood and brushed metal were done on this one appealed to me, so it became my desk lamp. I'm typing under it right now. But for resale, it has to make sense to buy it. 😉
