I received two stories using these mini guns with Pistols and Pearls parties and one came with an update photo! One ordered 17 mini James Bond guns in silver!
These silver James Bond guns are sold out, but we still have them in gold here

An Etsy buyer was kind enough to show me what she did with her guns and they came out so cute!
Here is her email message and update photo:
These are the pins that we made with the guns you sent me! Thank you so much for your note and the bag of miscellaneous stuff!

Pistols and Pearls gender reveal parties must be popular right now because this is the second story I've gotten for this type of themed party! I've never been invited to a gender reveal party, but I've been to plenty of baby showers. Are they the same type of party?
The other Etsy buyer bought 30 of these mini gold guns in an assorted mix:
We still this gold gun mix, but have had to not include the James Bond type guns in them because they sell out so fast, different gold gun mix available here

Note from Buyer I would love to have as many pistols as I can! I'm using these for my friends gender reveal party and the theme is pistols or pearls for boy or girl! But I will take any gun style. Thanks ☺
I wonder if she made cute little pins too? And I wonder what the pearl pins look like......
Here is an updated photo of the 10 or 25 assorted gold gun mix, available here

Saying Goodbye: These are one of our most popular items on JunkDrawerAndMore and I don't really know why. They sell out almost as fast as we can find them and they are getting more and more difficult to find, so I have my own stash of these put away for when the time comes and they are gone.
We used to have these rifles and machines guns, but we can not find them anymore and I'm so disappointed that I only saved a few for myself.
The rifle and machine guns were actually metal and not plastic like the guns we have now. Rifles and machine guns are sold out. Other assorted guns, available here, photo via JunkDrawerAndMore
What I Learned:
1. Put away my stash first and don't go into my own personal stash to fill orders because I'll regret it when I can't find anymore, like what happened with the rifles and machine guns!
Of course, I have no idea what to do with my stash and I want hundreds or even a thousand of them for my repetition art. Luckily these are so small, 100, even a thousand would barely fill a jam jar.
2. I would be very curious about a gender reveal party since I've never been to one. I used to be such a party person and would love to have any excuse to go to a party, but now, unfortunately with all my allergies, being in large groups does not do my health well. It just takes one person wearing perfume or even strong fragrance from laundry detergent from what the clothes anyone is wearing and I'll get an allergic reaction that might take me a couple of days to recover.
I most likely can't enjoy any of the food at the party either, unless it's organic, gluten free, soy free and sugar free, which doesn't bother me, but usually the host or hostess can't bear to see someone not eating or drinking and it can get uncomfortable explaining over and over to people about why I'm not eating or drinking anything. And some party foods, like my favs of appetizers and cakes are very difficult to pass up when I start to get hungry!
3. As a recovering hoarder, when I first found these little gold guns I just had to have some because they are from my childhood and brought back so many memories. Now that I have a lot and would love to use them in my repetition art, but just not sure how to use them yet.
I know I'm hoarding away smaller stuff now for my art now and well, if worse comes to worse, at least I know these will find new lives and homes quickly on Etsy.
Gold is much more popular, but here they are in silver too, available here

Thank you Etsy buyers from JunkDrawerAndMore
for sharing your stories with an update photo. It has inspired me to dig deeper into why I'm collecting so many childhood items for my art, but not doing any art with them! At least not yet.....
You have
helped me uncover another mystery to solve about my hoarding ways! Why am I squirreling away hundreds of these mini guns for an art project without anything in mind for them?
Thank you Etsy for the best Hoarder Rehab
ever! And for all the kind people I'm meeting who are helping me
indirectly and directly in so many ways with my Hoarder Rehab!
Thank you readers from all over the world who continue to support my Hoarder Rehab and The Destiny of Things by taking part with your visits!

I'm still relisting and new listing things at all the shops weekly, but since summer season is about to begin and sales go down after Mother's day, I'm debating this year whether to stock up more or just keep stock at 192 this summer and see what happens.
I've noticed that browsing and searching items on Etsy shops takes a lot longer with the new shop format, at least it does with me, even if I'm looking for something specific! I've noticed I do a whole lot less window shopping now and have found other things to do, which has really helped me as a recovering hoarder to not buy anything more!
Now if I can just motivate myself to exercise, instead of window shop!
Click on the shop names to visit new hoard listed daily and/or weekly: HoarderRehab with 191 items, The Destiny of Things- 193 items, VintageToGoEasy - 192 items and JunkDrawerAndMore - 191 items
I have 100s of these stashed for art, but I do have an art project in mind for these!
