Vintage Bead Yard Sale was Successful!

So, on my last post, I was trying to sell my vintage beads in one big lot. That didn't go over well, so I decided to sell all the beads at my yard sale. Which went over wonderfully! I made about $500 on selling my vintage beads. I highly recommend having a yard sale. Yes, I had other items too, some clothing and my highest priced item was a camera for $20, but the majority of money came from selling the beads. I've already started another pile for next years sale.

The findings like charms and such didn't sell as well as I thought. Next year, I'll spend less time on sorting findings and more time individual bead lots.
