I hope your Thanksgiving was excellent. I was pleasantly surprised when I got to Fit Buddha on Thanksgiving morning to see one of our high school employees, Emily, there to take the same class.

So of course we had to get a group picture! Shanti, Marc, Sandy, me and Emily.

Then it was out to breakfast with Marc, Shanti & Sandy and then home to clean the house for my kids arrival. Houston arrived first at about 2 pm and ran some errands with me. Then Indiana and Larissa arrived about 3:30. And we got to getting the Honey Baked Ham and Turkey ready.

We were ready to eat at 5 pm and I even took a plate of dinner to both of my tenants…which they really appreciated.

Dinner was lovely and after dinner we headed to the store to shoot our Christmas card photos. Unfortunately, this is the only photo I got with the kids. I wasn’t on my game!

Time for an eBay score! I bought this plate back in 2018 for $5. It is a beautiful dinner plate. The picture does not do it justice.

Just sold for asking price of $101.39 less 5%! Yippppeeeee!

Check out the listing here.

It was fun shooting the Christmas Card photos at the store with it being dark outside. I think the card turned out really cute! We put some outtakes on the back side and Indy came up with the cutest slogan…”What Happens at Lynn’s Consignments…Stays at Lynn’s Consignments!

Friday and Saturday were slow in the store and I took Saturday off to watch the Notre Dame game. I was out at garage sales on Saturday when I got a text from Susan. Guess who was at the store?

I knew he was going to be in town, but did not know what day. He always thrifts in the LA area on Black Friday and Small Business Saturday. He had a tight schedule and I couldn’t make it back to the store in time to see him so I asked where he was going next and I met him at Buffalo Exchange.

No time for lunch & tiki cocktails this trip. But it was fun to catch up and see the sh*t he buys! He found two Laurel Burch Purses New with Tags. Laurel Burch passed away in 2007 from a rare bone cancer and her stuff does well on eBay.

This is a Laurel Burch Purse that he currently has listed on eBay. Check out the listing here.

Jason typically sells men’s and women’s clothing, CD’s and Tiki Mugs. His user ID is TikiPugMusic. Here is a Tiki mug that he sold recently for almost $375.

Fun afternoon with Tiki and I headed home to watch the USC Notre Dame Game.

The USC Notre Dame game was atrocious. But at least I had long legged Cha Cha to keep me company. Hahahaha.

Speaking of Cha Cha, we couldn’t figure out what happened to the leftover homemade Apple Pie the morning after Thanksgiving.

We have a high end design job in Pasadena that we need to install mid December. We are desperately looking for:

Parsons Dining Chair or Traditional Wood Chair we need 4 to 6
Dark Wood Pair of Two Bookcases..no Oak
Dark Wood End Table
Small Dark Wood Console Table
Pair of Traditional Table Lamps Think Brass/Porcleain
Throw Pillows…Old World Needlepoint
Artwork

Here is our Inspo Vision Board

Carlos (our cat) missed my kids so much that after Thanksgiving dinner we let him up on the table and he just couldn’t get enough of both Houston and Indiana. He had to put his little head on their heads. It was so cute!

We have such amazing customers here at Lynn’s Consignments. The day after Thanksgiving, Tia, came in to do some shopping and she picked out a light up candle that Indy had put batteries in the night before. Crazy!

I asked Tia if I could put a picture of her in my newsletter and she said “Of Course!” as she and her sister had made it into my newsletter a while ago because I didn’t think they looked alike at all and they turned out to be twins! LOL.

Then we had two friends come in shopping for clothing, Teri and Andrea. Teri was visiting from the Bay area and bought this amazing Moschino Rainbow Blazer. What a hoot!

Then on Wednesday, a new customer came in and bought a pair of arm chairs that had just arrived. She carted them home in her adorable VW Bus.

Time for another eBay score. There is a long story about my friendship with Stanley Papel, but not today, just know he is the King of Coffee Mugs and still owns Papel. He had one of his artists/contractors, Marci G, do the poetry for these mugs when she was pregnant and bedridden.

These name mugs ALWAYS sell for a lot! I got close to $100 for this one. Check out the listing here.

On Monday, I did Fit Buddha and then Sandy and I went out to lunch at Aloha. It started out as a lovely day, but by the time we were finished eating, the pier was socked in.
