100 Teacher Classroom Stickers from 1980s -90s: The Destiny of Things, Story LXXXI

100 Teacher Classroom Stickers from 1980s -90s:  The Destiny of Things, Story LXXXI

Hoarder tendency kinship with an Etsy shop owner!  Thank you Jenny from GoodFunRandomness!


I found this in my note from buyer:

Note from Buyer These are badass!! I have 3 youngens and I'm so excited about these :)) thank you for favoring some of my items or else I wouldn't have found these!!! Ps. I have a great bundle sale on fabrics :)) plus additional 10% off with coupon code :)) 

It's always fun and a day brightener when I find a note like that with my sold orders!  Thank you Jenny for the fun note along with the order!  And not just fun! but what good randomness had to happen for her to find the stickers!  More of her story below, but check out her shop, Good Fun Randomness ---she has a 10% off sale everyday!

I found her shop because every once in awhile I search for the ever elusive cheddar cloth from the 70s-80s.  View it more closely by clicking here or see more fabric like it here at FunGoodRandomness!

I need some to finish up a quilt I started in the 90s.  Specifically a certain cloth in cheddar color with a darker red orange squiggly design in it, but some cheddar orange fabric from the same era may have to do.  Let me know, if anyone has some in their stash!

Anyways....there's more to her story!


 
Thank you so much for the quick shipping!! And that's such a neat idea for a blog!!! I definitely have hoarding tendencies :). Most people can't stand clutter... I'm the opposite haha I feel the most comfy in a room with a random item on every inch of every shelf ;-). My biggest addiction is like kitchen accessories, home decor, tins, random vintage goodies :)) as soon as I saw these stickers... I instantly hit buy!! I'm sure they'll have so much more meaning for me than my kids who will say "hey mom thanks for these cool stickers" ... And of course I'll keep at least half of them just to have because they're AWESOME!!!

Honestly lol they bring back memories of going to the doctors when I was sick, with one of my parents and at least 2 other siblings, I'm the youngest of 6, and getting to pick one of these stickers from the basket and my sisters getting mad because they didn't get a sticker! LOL funny what memories come up with certain items :))

Thank you for helping me remember that memory :) and thanks for your great store and blog!!! Jenny :)


Hi Jenny!

I love your stories, both of them of hoarder tendencies and Dr. visits!!!! I feel most comfy, like you surrounded by clutter too, but I think it's because I grew up in it! I found it quite agreeable that someone else feels just as comfy as I do with randomly organized covered shelf!

When you went to the Dr.'s what year was it? If you don't mind me asking because I'm trying to pinpoint the year on those stickers. I can't remember when I bought them!

Thank you for the compliments and you have a great store also. I'll use your story next week and am hoping it's okay with you to use your email story as it is with your name and link it back to your shop.

I wish you knew how much your energy, cheerfulness and kind words have helped with my Hoarder Rehab! HUGE thanks!

Warm regards,
~Kennedy

PS. If you need more stickers let me know I have a whole jar of them!


Saying Good-bye:  I am finding it still very easy to let things go now.  It's not quite automatic, but I am not conflicted or miserable like I used feel about it.  What I am finding difficult is feeling well enough to post stories on here! and keep up with packaging sales, listing new items and favoriting other Etsy shops that favorite my items.

Between chiropractor appointments three times a week for the pain from the car accident and flu symptoms, which I thought were from accidentally eating gluten last week, which has now turned into possibly having Hepatitis A from eating the now "RECALLED" Townsend frozen organic berry mix from Costco for the past month--- I am doing my best to tread water now and stay calm.

What I Learned:

1.  I certainly am one to agree with Jenny that one never knows which memories will float to the top from certain items!  I am so happy that I am getting used to the memories flowing in, accepting them and moving on from the item, while keeping the memory alive on this blog!

What memories have been brought back to life for you from any certain item?

2.  It's better for me at least draft a little a day, rather than none at all because the stories are starting to pile up again.  And I emailed Jenny that I'd post this in a week and time does fly because I just realized it's already June!  My apologies Jenny! 

Click on the links to check out her shop for some fun 70s fabrics, collectible lunch boxes with thermos and more FunGoodRandomness and remember - so far - everyday is a 10% of sale!

3.  I think I'm finally figuring out how to use Etsy's following and favoriting to benefit my shops and others!  I'll have to slowly try and write another article as "a techless hoarder etsy newbie".

Thank you Jenny from FunGoodRandomness for your sticker order, story and energy and getting me back on track with my HoarderRehab blog.   I hope you mailed stickers to all five of your siblings for some Fun Good Randomness and blast to the past!

If anyone else would like these stickers they are at any of my three Etsy shops, click here, here and here! They are not randomly chosen and you will get the 100 stickers as seen in the pictures!

Thank you Etsy for another connection with someone who can relate well to hoarding tendencies with random collections and is comfortable with shelves covered in every inch!  Alas, I need to get used to a more minimal look on my shelves due to allergies to dust now.
