Hi!  Happy Thursday & Happy Halloween!  As you read this I am out to Breakfast with Indiana and Larissa.  Love having the kids in town!

Welcome to Lynn’s Latest #000019

Volume V  Issue 000019

AND by the way….way to go Dodgers!  Soooooo happy that my team won.  In high school my friends called me LA California Dralle and my initials are LAD.  The dodgers have my heart….Check out this story from an old ezine in June of 2010 when I took Houston to a VIP LA Dodger game.  Here is a link to that entire ezine if you want to check it out.

“I am just back from Albuquerque and Los Angeles. Now I am off to Nevada, South Dakota and Nebraska. Wow!

Last Monday, I had the wonderful experience of being able to take my best friend from college Juliette, Houston and one of his buddies, Ian, to a Dodger VIP game experience.

Here are the four of us on the field pregame.

Rewind…Last year I went to a fund raiser for the local middle school and there was a silent auction. One of the items was a Dodger Baseball VIP experience where you would get four tickets and an on-field VIP experience before the game. I won it for less than what the four baseball tickets would have cost!

So on Monday, June 7th, 2010 we went to see the Dodgers play the St. Louis Cardinals. The pre game experience was PRICELESS. Houston and Ian got autographs from almost all of the players.

Check out this photo of Houston and Ian getting Manny Ramirez’
autograph. I guess he never signs and we got lucky!

Then after Manny signed Houston’s ball, he dropped it! Check out that look of surprise on Houston’s face as Manny reaches down to pick it up.

Priceless!”

Finally, a quiet week. And it couldn’t have come at a better time. The calm before the storm….the holidays.

Check out this neat ruby red glass flashed souvenir that I just sold on eBay for $93.59 less 5%. I always run a 5% off on items over $50 sale because it keeps buyers looking at my other items instead of having eBay show them things from other sellers.

I probably paid $1 to $3 for this at an estate sale that Claudio held back in 2019.  Yes, I will wait 5 years for the right buyer.  LOL.

Check out the listing here.

Quite a few of you have been in and asking about the eBay classes. 

I am excited to announce that our next in person eBay class will take place on Tuesday, November 12th from 1pm to 4pm.  This is a short 3 hour class and you will leave with an item or 2  listed on eBay.  You will also learn some of the most important things to know and do when selling on eBay.

I will be sending some lessons to you by email in the days leading up to the course so that we are all on the same page.

To be eligible to take this class, you must be computer savvy and own a laptop which you will bring to the class.  You will also bring several items to list!

Space is limited and the price is $297 and you will receive a goodie bag.  Fun Fun!

It will be a blast and I am so excited to get back into teaching others how to make extra money from home. Please email me with any questions. Space is limited so here is a link to sign up.

It will be modeled after my 6 week on-line Six Step Course, but since it is in person you will still get the same benefits. And yes, that is a really OLD photo of me!

I hung out with Emma and Indiana on Sunday and we went through a bunch of old photos from our vacations.  It was super fun.

Here is an old photo of my kids crashed out for naps in Cabo.

Here is my mom with the kids in Cabo.

Here we are at Bubba Gumps in Maui for William and my 5 year wedding anniversary.  From left to right, my step mom Sue, my brother Lee, my dad, me & baby Indiana, William, Houston and my sister, Kiki.

OK one more photo of these two dancing.  I used to dress then head to toe in Gymboree.  Their outfits were soooooo cute!  Most outfits had matching socks, hats and accessories.  I miss those days!

I had to share an old photo of Cha Cha as well…didn’t I?

The store is super full of marvelous items! Come in and check them out.  We don’t have room for many items right now, but here is what I am looking for…..

Table Lamps
Floor Lamps
Nightstands
End Tables
Queen Headboards (we really need these!)
Metalware…Metal Baskets
Baskets
Wooden Items
Area Rugs

Time for another eBay score.  Check out these Mackenzie Child Knobs that sold for $77.99.  Crazy huh!  Check out the auction here.

Y’all have been asking and we are here to answer! Our next Annie Sloan Paint Your Own Piece class will be held on Thursday, November 14th from 3:00 to 5:00. Cost is $69. We supply the paint, the brushes, waxes and instruction.

You bring your piece. Please text a photo of your piece prior to the class for approval….to me at 760-880-3535. Pieces should not be too large. Think a side table, chair, small shelf etc. Space is limited so sign up here now

The store is looking AWESOME!  There are cute displays everywhere.  Check out the front windows with Christmas Trees and Santa Claus.

It is really hard to get a good shot of the front windows, so please come in and check them out in person.

I did Fit Buddha last night at 5:30 and then had dinner with Sandy.  After dinner, I drove by the store and got some cool night shots with the trees!
