Here are some of our emails:
My son is having a party for his friend, they are both sheriff officers & one of his hobbies is guns. Not sure of the theme he is having but i am making his cake based on his hobby.
I wrote back:
Hi there!
Thank you so much for sharing! That is too cool! One of my favorite shows is COPS, so please thank both of them for all their hard work, bravery and everything in between that they have to tolerate! Kudos to them for a job well done!
Gotta know.... is his cake going to be in the shape of a gun? lol
Thanks again,
Kennedy

Here are the NEW type of mini gold gun mix because the Sean Connery James Bond classic guns sell out so quickly, so I switched them out with assault weapons.

and then I wrote back:
A cake with a gun with mini guns on top! Sounds better than a cherry on top! How fun! And THANK YOU so much for letting them know how much they are appreciated for their courageous work!
Take care,
Kennedy

Saying Goodbye: I used to collect guns too! Loved the shooting range! I said goodbye to my gun collection a long time ago to someone who wanted them for their birthday. Now I just collect the guns as seen at my shops and I'm trying to stop collecting those too! I love the mini gold and silver ones that are like the ones from my childhood, gun charms and gun sharpeners!
What I Learned:
1. Sometimes an Etsy buyer makes my dehoarding so much more fun and makes my day brighter! Also, I truly appreciate our law enforcement officers and all they do to keep us safe and our neighborhoods as peaceful as possible. I'm a huge fan of the TV show, COPS and even though I was a teacher for 15 plus years, in the inner city of Los Angeles two blocks away from the street with the highest murder rate in California, I never saw anything like I do on COPS!
Kudos to all the COPS that do their job under all the craziness, unpleasantness and sadness they must see daily.
2. As to my dehoarding, I'm moving slowly but surely and have been listing new things weekly at all the shops. I'm working on dehoarding my truck now, so that's been different and interesting. Who knows what I have hoarded up in there!
3. I'm still getting over a head cold and had to rest all last week to get rid of it! I'm very excited to be well now and to start a more rigorous exercise program this summer.
What new things will you be adding this summer?
These are our most popular guns, which I call, "modern James Bond mini gold guns." We only have them in silver now, gold sells out quickly. Mini silver ones like the ones in the photo, available here. Photo via JunkDrawerAndMore
Thank you fun and kind Etsy buyer from JunkDrawerAndMore! Wonderful cake for the bday boy! I am so happy you were still able to use the guns even though the theme changed! Thank you so much for sending me an update photo! I hope it inspires others and gives them good party cake ideas.
Everyday is an adventure dehoarding on Etsy! I never know who I'll meet and I have met so many Etsy buyers who share their stories with me and every time I glean some insight about where my dehoarding journey is taking me.
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! I've been gleaning so much insight about my hoarding ways.
Here are our second most popular mini gold guns, which I call "classic Sean Connery James Bond guns," or Peaky Blinder guns, available here

It's summer and things are slowing down, so I've been new listing again until I reach my goal of 180+ items at all the shops! I had reached my goal last week at all 4 shops, but thankfully several things have sold!
Anyone out there have any suggestion or ideas on how to use the new Etsy format and new Etsy Studio to their shop's best advantage? and if it has helped bump up your sales?
I also hope to get back to blogging every 5 days, at least, but the stories are starting to pile up and they are some exciting ones on the way!
Click on the shop names to visit new hoard listed daily and/or weekly: HoarderRehab with 181 items, The Destiny of Things- 180 items, VintageToGoEasy - 178 items and JunkDrawerAndMore - 180 items.
Looks like one shop needs a refill! I've listed new today and hopefully tomorrow or Monday too!
Maybe you'll find something to adopt and share your story too! Thanks for looking!
