Sell Some of Your Treasures.....Make Some Money

I like to browse estate sales or thrift stores and purchase items if they aren't too expensive.  It's kind of another hobby I have besides blogging.  Sometimes I keep my "treasures" purchased and then sometimes I put some items on eBay to see if I can make a little money.  Below are some things I recently purchased and put on eBay.  If that's something you like to do it's a fun hobby in the winter.

The Kismet game was only $1.00 at an estate sale and it was like new in the box.  It sold on eBay for $12.99.

I bought this vintage milk glass fire king prayer cup at a thrift ship for 59 cents and hopefully it will sell.  Milk glass is very collectible.  (Update, I sold it for $4.99)

This 100th Anniversary Girl Scouts metal case was $1.99 at a thrift store.

I bought these old Tab soda glasses for 59 cents each at a thrift store.

These vintage books were 25 cents each at a thrift store.  They are from the 70's and 80's.

This cute old piggy bank was about a $1.00 and I've seen some sell for over $10.00.

Blogging - Hobby or Business

                                                                  getentrepreneurial.com


I haven been blogging for a little while now and it's a hobby to me.  I like to post about anything and everything.  It's fun to have giveaways occasionally and to enter other people's giveaways.   I know some people are really into blogging and their blogs are very business like.  That's great for some people.  For me I want it to be fun and not get too business like.  Life is too stressful the way it is.  It is fun to meet nice people and see how many people read your posts.  I am trying to get my Alexa ranking down and it has been doing pretty good. 

Sometimes I get stumped on what to write on my blog.  How about anybody else out there.  Do you run out of ideas of what to write about?  One thing I've found out is that it does take time to build up your followers.  At least for me it has.  I know some blogs have thousands of followers and have been blogging for a few years. 

How about anyone else?  Is blogging your hobby or a business?  I'm just curious what others want out of their blog.  Everyone does their own thing.  That's what makes us all unique!
