When real things happen to imaginary people

December 5th, 2010
4228 Stone Way N
Noon to 5pm

I went to the space today to set up (organization, I can haz it! Sometimes!), and let me tell you, alexiarnps has FOUR giant bags of stuff that I saw. If you are anywhere near the Seattle area, you don't want to miss this.


My exciting adventures for today involved going Leaving The House for brunch, and then the aforementioned sale set-up. That pretty much used up my energy, so I am now going to spend the rest of the day writing, sewing, and watching more of the 1st season of the Matt Smith run of Dr. Who. (We're currently watching "Flesh And Stone" - don't spoil me for the rest of the run!)

THIS SUNDAY

The Great Goth Yard Sale, vol. II:
Sunday, September 26
Noon-4 p.m. (no early birds; you show up early, you get put to work on setup)
22nd Ave & E Columbia St, in the Central District

I personally will have clothes, hats, fabric & trim, BPAL, makeup, and some shoes. The other people selling at this will also have fabulous things. You DO NOT want to miss this. YES, this will be happening even in case of drizzle & light rain. So sayeth icprncs

You know what I haven't subjected you people to? My INCOHERENT CAPSLOCK FLAILY GLEE at the new MCR single that premiered yesterday. But I will show some restraint, because certain people are starting to be concerned that fandom has finally unhinged me. So let's just say that I really like it, and am giddy that the album is being released the Tuesday after my birthday. ("SHUT UP AND LET ME SEE YOUR JAZZ HANDS", hee! I may never stop giggling.)

One of my writers brought me pink Gerber daisies and chocolate today, as a thank you for dealing with some last-minute project hijinks. Awww!

Gnnng. There is a seller on ebay that has a pair of limited edition pink Fluevog Lover boots (clicky-link! not to the auction, but to a photo) for sale. But I am not in the market to spend $300 on boots. I'm not. I will keep repeating that to myself. (Even if they're really cute, and I could easily dye the contrast trim black.) No. I am closing that tab now. I really am.

The Seattle Steampunk Swapmeet:
September 18th, noon to 6PM.
All Pilgrims Christian Church
500 Broadway East (lower level)

The Great Goth Yard Sale, vol. II:
Sunday, September 26
Noon-4 p.m. (no early birds; you show up early, you get put to work on setup)
22nd Ave & E Columbia St, in the Central District

Yes, I'm going to be at both. Clothes, makeup, jewelry, BPAL, surprise bags of crafting supplies - trust me, you want to show up to at least one of these.

(The makeup, jewelry, and BPAL will probably NOT be at the Steampunk Swapmeet, but WILL be at the Great Goth Yard Sale.)

(You know what this means? This means I am doing even MORE culling of the closets over the next week or so. I will be stricter with myself about culling!)

The details!

PayPal ONLY. All prices are BEFORE shipping.

The info about shipping: After staring at the USPS site long enough to be driven mad, I'm going to go with using the flat-rate Priority mail boxes. Which means shipping will be between $9.85 and $13.50 for US addresses, depending on how many items you're getting.

I will ship outside of the US. Shipping fees will be figured out on a case-by-case basis.

If there is something you want, leave a comment that includes the item number(s) and your zip code. First come, first served!

( Lip Service! )

( Blouses! )

( Jackets! )

( Skirts! Dresses! )

( Boots! )

( Hats! Capelets! Jewelry! )

Yes, it's time for another round of Jilli culled her closets! The details:

It was lovely to see folks at Mourning Market! Thank you to everyone who came by and said hi, and an extra-big thank you to folks who purchased goodies. ::grin::

Coming soon to this LJ: three pairs of "Cranky" bloomers for sale. (So those of you who were sad you weren't, oh, in Seattle, you still have a chance at them!)

I did indeed end up purchasing a(nother) hat from noxenlux Curse you, Carlee! But it will be a good "everyday wear" hat for me, so it's totally justifiable. Really. (Plus I had saved up for it.)

Tonight is low-key flopping on the couch, I think. Next week, writing up the proposal for the second Gothic Charm School book to send to my Agent of Awesome.

Okay folks, this is your advance warning. Tomorrow, the giant Closet Culling Sale Post goes live. Lip Service! Fluffy skirts! Military-style jackets! Shoes! An antique collapsible top hat! Men's shirts and a suit!

(And now we take a short breather from the exclamation points.)

All proceeds will go to my paying off my Fluevog Babycake boots. And, erm, my Dr. Marten Skelly boots, because when Amazon emails me and says "omg only one pair left in your size! here, have an extra extra discount!", I listen. If, by some lucky chance, I have extra money, I'm taking myself to the spaaaaa. Soaking in warm tubs all day, with occasional breaks for snacky food and body scrubs, mmmm.

The job hunt is still going. I'm playing the waiting game with three different possibilities. Which, on the one hand, yay! On the other hand, I am not good at waiting, and I'd like at lest ONE of them to become something more than a nebulous potential thing.

Now that I'm done traveling for a while (as far as I know), I'm culling the closets. Yes, that includes shoes and boots. Because I am going to purchase myself those Fluevog Babycake boots. I've been coveting them for too damn long, and I don't want to run the risk of them being discontinued.

When I'm a little more awake and coherent, I'll burble about Innocente Seraphim. The short version: Wheeee! That was a lot of fun, and I'm planning on going back next year.

The Punk Rock Flea Market!

domestinatrix and myself will be there, selling ... stuff. Snacky food, clothes, shoes, charming toy monsters, books ... did I mention the snacky food? And the clothes?
