Surprise me! De-hoarding the Brenda and Sacha way!


So everyone knows that Sacha and I have started an Ebay store together, no surprise there!

My barkcloth listed!
I wonder if we are the first people to ever do this from different sides of the world?
Now that's a question for Ebay. And I have such a funny blog to write about the service call to Ebay to explain that!  But that's another story..maybe tomorrow?

Anyway...I was talking to Sacha last night...and it occurred to me that everyone probably thinks we plan out everything...discuss listing stuff...have a strategy...a plan...and I had to laugh.
I drag myself out of bed...get my coffee..turn on my computer...and Sacha is there...having wine and dinner and a relaxing bath, already having finished her day in France.

Our conversations usually start something like this...

Sacha: "How was work last night?  Is your rosemary plant still doing well?"

Me: "Still alive! It and me. :)  Did you list anything today?"
If this poor Rosemary plant lives, then lavender should too...right?


Sacha: "You know you can separate your rosemary now to have more?
  Yes, one of my favorite pillow cases!
 What are you going to list today?"


Me:  "I don't want more rosemary plants, I want your lavender!
 I haven't had enough coffee to decide about listing anything yet, I'll decide later.
 Oh I love your pillow case, I want it!"



Sacha: "No we're selling!!  Selling!  And I love the lace you listed..I want that!"


Me: No! We're selling..not buying..just say no!"



Sacha: "Here's my recipe to the Clafoutis you asked for.
I'm going to finish knitting my shawl, have a great day!
 Can't wait to see what you list while I'm sleeping!"



Me: "Me too! No clue. LOL
Thank you, you have a wonderful night.
Thanks for the recipe and say hello to hubby for me!"



And that's how Sacha and Brenda De-hoard!

Brenda's first eBay listing from the US

As we've already said earlier: Brenda and Sacha are LIVE on eBay together! In the meanwhile, there's an Etsy account as well, although it doesn't have listings, yet and a blog. Yeah! I still can't believe this.

Every morning I wake up to yet another surprise of what Brenda has done. It feels like having an Elf who does all the work that needs to be done overnight. A Fantastic Feeling! :)

Now that the HTML layout has been made for the eBay store, we're starting to play with the banners and colours a bit.

Like the total change of colours on Brenda's very first Boudoir de Paris eBay listing: 7 very gorgeous Victorian calling cards.

And they are SWEET! I just love to fantasize about the stories behind those cards. They have such a history!

Brenda's calling cards can be found on eBay HERE

It would be nice to hear your comments on the change of colours on her listing, compared to the first banner and matching colours.

We'll probably be experimenting for a bit. And don't be surprised if there will be a complete change of look in the near future...

To be continued!

This is all just so exciting.

Sacha.
