Fortune Teller Cards for Burning Man: The Destiny of Things, Story 352

Fortune Teller Cards for Burning Man:  The Destiny of Things, Story 352

Passing these out as little mementos at Burning Man last August!

One stack of about 500 fortune teller card slips for Twilight Zone party fans, Swami, Madame X penny napkin dispenser or for passing out at Burning Man!

Here is the fantastic email I received!

HI! I bought your fortunes on ETSY in August.

You included some trinkets and a penny and a little note that i did not see until later on... iIve had the note with me meaning to email you. So sorry for the delay.

I bought these fortunes for Burning Man. They were my gift to all I encountered on the playa. The theme was Carnival of Mirrors and I felt this was an appropriate gifting idea. I wanted to share something old, with someone new and give a new fortune to each person I met and let them create there own destiny at BM.

I had a great time and these were an awesome gift to bring with me. I also included some of your trinkets in the making of my costumes and decorations. A fun little treat I wasn't expecting. Will shop you again for BM. Thanks again!!!

All my best,
A

How fun!  I've been invited to Burning Man several times and think it would be an interesting experience because from photos I've seen, it reminds me of all the Mad Max movies, but I don't think I can tolerate any of the smoke due to allergies.  On good days, I can sometimes burn a candle for a bit without the smoke causing my allergies to flare up.  What a bummer!

 Each stack has approximately 500 fortunes in them.
There are 52 different fortune cards and each fortune is based around the symbols from a deck of cards with hearts, clubs, diamonds, spades, ace, kings, queen, jacks and all the rest of the numbers, as seen above, however from my experience some stacks don't sort out including all 52 to make a complete set.

Here is my reply:

Hi!
Wow!  What an awesome story!  I have a friend who goes to Burning Man every year.  He does a fire show and juggles and dances with fire on stilts.  Your story is the closest I'll ever get to BM, since I have really bad allergies, especially to smoke!

I'd love to see your costume!  I can't believe you included some of my other goodies!  When I send the goodies out, I always hope someone will get inspired and have fun using them in some way, so thanks for letting me know that one of my dreams came true!

Your story has inspired me to start blogging again next week despite my sciatica pain I've had all this week because your story will be so fun to write about!
Thanks again and if you have a photo of your costume with the trinket decorations I'd love to see it!
Best to you too~
Kennedy

 The back of the fortune answer a "yes" or "no" question that one asks before you get one from the penny napkin dispenser that used to be in cafe diners.  It also has silly definition to build up your vocabulary!  but watch out, these are from the 50s and are not always politically correct, so one might have to do some explaining to children at the dinner table!  Available here.  Photo via Hoarder Rehab

Saying Goodbye:  I have my stack of these stashed away and complete sets too.  I used to have mine displayed between some float frames I have, but now some postage stamps are in it. 

Here is what a complete set of 52 looks like, each row includes one suit with 13 cards in each row, available here

What I Learned:

1.  Oh my, she went to Burning Man in August 2015 and wrote to me, October 2015 and I just refound it in my email today!  Yes, I could not sit down in a conventional chair due to my sciatica for over 4 months and fell behind with my blog postings.

2.  These have become more popular on our Etsy shops than I ever thought they would, but I think it was partly since Twilight Zone parties were trending for awhile.

Here is a photo of William Shatner in The Twilight Zone episode, Nick of Time, Season 2, Episode 43.  I think you can still watch it on youtube.
Notice the Swami Fortune Teller napkin dispenser.  Ask your "yes" or "no" question, dispense a penny and your fortune will be told!

3.   The 500 replacement fortune card stacks are quite popular now for those having wedding fortune teller entertainment or as table confetti decor.

4.  I hope I can catch up with all my blog posting that are piling up into a hoard!  I've been wanting to blog post daily, but I haven't been able to make time for it yet.  The only solution I can for see if getting up at 3 am!

Thank you Etsy buyer from Hoarder Rehab for saving my note to to you until you had the time to email me with your fun story!  I am so happy you did and don't mind the delay one bit!  Maybe at next year's Burning Man, these will fit with the theme!

This week's goal is making more art, like patches or blog posting more often to catch up on my back log.

I am so inspired from my last blog, Under the Sea Wedding Party Mermaid Drink Toppers:  The Destiny of Things, Story 351 and have plenty ideas in mind for some "Under the Sea" loteria art cards!

I've been keeping up with adding new listings when each shop sells an item, but daylight savings time has thrown off my sleep and my insomnia has returned and I have been making more time daily to try art, instead of window shopping!  
 
Hopefully the silver lining to lack of sleep motivates me to get up at 3 am because that seems to be about the only healthy solution to cure my insomnia.

Under the Sea Wedding Party Mermaid Drink Toppers: The Destiny of Things, Story 351

Under the Sea Wedding Party Mermaid Drink Toppers:  The Destiny of Things, Story 351

Drink or cake toppers?  Traditionally used for cocktail drinks and Shirley Temples!

 
Choose an amount:  30, 50, 75 or 100 mini Little Mermaid drink or cake toppers, available here.  Photo via Hoarder Rehab

Here's the little note I received and a photo too!

My under the sea themed wedding could not be complete without a personal mermaid on everyone's cups. So happy with the product. 

How fun!  Everyone is going to have their own little personal mermaid at her "under the sea" themed wedding!

 Choose an amount:  30, 50, 75 or 100 mini Little Mermaid drink or cake toppers, available here.

Saying Goodbye:  I have my own collection of these, many of them vintage and am trying to find them all in different colors.  So far other colors I have are pink, orange, red, neon colors and an aqua blue.  True pink is very difficult to find and finding vintage ones are even more difficult it seems.


Choose an amount:  30, 50, 75 or 100 mini Little Mermaid drink or cake toppers, available here.  Photo via Hoarder Rehab

What I Learned:

1.  Now these have become very popular sellers at our Etsy shops, so I am happy others are having just as much fun with them as I am.  I hope they bring back nostalgic memories for many as they do for me and make new memories as well for the next generation!

Would you use them as drink or cupcake toppers or both?

2.  I would have never thought my favorite childhood things would become so popular at our Etsy shops!  I've been collecting these cocktail drink toppers for many years and most of mine are vintage and I am collecting them in all different colors.  Some of the harder to find colors are true pink, red, orange, neon green and aqua blue.

I've been using them in my mixed media art, especially with my Mexican folk art using loteria cards and nichos since the 1980 and 90s.  My newer pieces I'd like to make more interactive, so others can enjoy rearranging the pieces to their liking or with each season. 

It comes with one interactive piece of art that one can move around, add your own mementos and arrange as they please and one is fixed, so you can switch it out when you want to see something different or perhaps it will inspire you to make different ones for the next season.

Here is one of my newer interactive pieces below:

Angel wing crowned heart nicho with La Sirena mermaid interactive art.  The fixed piece of loteria art is the one shown inside it, available here.

3.  I used to have an entire collection of these in all different sizes, many very large that I had been collecting since the 80s and had them all hung in my hallway wall, but since I've become allergic to so many things, mainly dust, I sold many of the pieces to have less things to collect dust.  Most of those pieces have sold.

4.  I also hung them around my front door, like a garland.  It looked very festive.  I have pix of them somewhere in my hoard, I think.  One day I hope to find them again.

Here is a mini sample of what my hallway wall looked like:

I had at least 12 huge nichos like these mixed in with 10 to 15 smaller ones, some I had made during my Mexican Religious Folk Art years and many were collected and given to me as gifts.  The moon is still available here and the angel wings with evil eye protector is available here

4.  I do miss my hallway wall nicho and door way collection, but don't miss the dust or the dusting and cleaning maintenance of them, so now I just make loteria art as an alternative to collective hoarding and find them new homes.

5.  I sure got off topic today!  I am having a difficult time today with allergies because I opened what I thought was an empty bottle of perfume to list on one of the shops and it was full!  It's been hours, but it's too cold to open a window.  I am itching, buzzing and have a headache, but I'm still moving forward!

With this interactive interchangeable loteria nicho art, the little mermaid or sirena can catch a ride on the wing as seen and available here.

or it can be moved and become part of the sacred heart nicho crown, as seen below:

 There she reminds me of a figurehead like the prow of a ship, as if steering it or you away from harm, sickness, danger and offering protection from evil forces.

Thank you Etsy buyer from Hoarder Rehab for sending a note to buyer and positive feedback letting me know what kind of new lives and homes these will be having!
 
And thank you for the update photo and Congratulations and Best wishes to you and yours on your wedding day and hope these bring back nostalgic memories and make many new ones too!

Also for sparking the idea to make some "under the sea" loteria art cards!  So fun!

This week's goal is making more art, like patches I use in mending my old clothes and socks.  And I'm experimenting to see if I can use art as an alternative to hoarding.  
 
Also I'm experimenting how these patches will look because I can never decide if I should put the patches on the inside or outside of the spot that needs mendings.

Writing this post and getting inspired by an "under the sea" wedding has also inspired me to make some "Under the Sea" loteria art cards!

I've been keeping up with adding new listings when each shop sells an item, but daylight savings time has thrown off my sleep and my insomnia has returned and I have been making more time daily to try art, instead of window shopping!

Happy Easter Chenille Baby Chick Fun! Hoarder Rehab Inspiration or Desperation, Story 20

Happy Easter Chenille Baby Chick Fun!  HoarderRehab Inspiration or Desperation, Story 20

Many of these come to me distressed and challenged!  I adopt them!

Plastic animal figurines for drink and cake toppers, available here

If they need some help standing on their own, are missing an eye or other baby chick parts, too lop sided, crushed or broken I keep them and they play with the other animals!

Some wander around the house and check out the art I've been collecting or making!

Neon pink Gee's Bend quilt inspired paper collage, available here

Some end up chasing cars!

 Some cool "rat race" art I bought on Etsy last year!  Novelty pencil sharpeners, like the car, available here at Hoarder Rehab   

Most just end up being silly and playing wherever they can!


Chenille baby chicks in gift giving condition, available here

Saying Goodbye:  I won't be saying "goodbye" to my own brood of baby chicks.  I will store mine in gumball capsules when summer is over and have fun with them again next year.

Hoarder Inspiration:

1.  I love these chicks, but could only find them in bulk amounts.  Happily, others like them as much as I do at our Etsy shops!

2.  I do love to rearrange things and make little silly scenes around the house!

3.  I keep some in my purse for little ones who could use some cheer or a little travel pocket toy.  They add a pop of color to care packages and Mother's day baskets.

I love these too and they end up on plants rather than drinks!
Plastic animal figurines for drink and cake toppers, available here

Hoarder Desperation:

1.  I seem to keep a lot of little fun things in my purse!

2.  I can't seem to throw out anything cute and broken!  I wanted to put wiggle eyes on the ones that didn't come with eyes or missing eyes, but they got lost in my hoard already!  Back to the drawing board of organizing!

3.  I haven't had a retail therapy melt down in a long time, but I did fall off the Lent Wagon this month (I gave up sugar and buying stuff for Lent this year) and bought many float frames and cubes for my art!  It made me very nervous to buy so much, but i don't think I'll be seeing that stuff again soon.  My hoarding and FOMO, fear of missing out, go hand in hand and does cause me conflict.

Hopefully we'll have time this weekend to take photos, so I can post them for next week's blog.

Oh, and I bought some clothes too, but that didn't bother me as much because I'm finding it more and more difficult to find cotton clothes.  I am allergic to synthetic blends.

What I Learned:

1.   As a recovering hoarder, I'm still in conflict over what to keep and what to throw out, even if it's broken, but I'm learning to embrace it, instead of stress over it.

2.  I do feel stress when I buy things now, instead of it releasing stress, however I think that might be progress and hope it balances out as I make more progress.

3.  I haven't had a melt down endless buying spree for over 3 years now, so that's progress!  However, I do go on limited mad money buys during Christmas and my birthday.

4.  I feel more balanced, in the sense that since much of my hoard has found new lives and homes, it's much easier to make time and have room for my alternatives to hoarding, which is mainly spending time making art.

5.  I am still aiming for my goal of minimalist organic home, but it is taking longer than I thought.  That's okay too because I've realized that with all my hoard I used to feel really rushed and had this odd sense of time where I thought everything took so long to get done. 

I've been working on living in the present because hoarding for me seemed to be so much about living in the past with the memories that each thing held on for me and then letting go of it all seemed to so far in the future.  It might only make sense to me, lol.

Here is a photo I often look at of our living room on a good day!  Usually when guests are about to arrive!  I want all our whole house to look something like this!
Where to add a baby chick!?!  Hmm....

Thank you Etsy for being here as an outlet to release my hoard in the most pleasant, manageable and easiest way to dehoard without accumulating back ten fold!

Mini Ballerina Replacement for 80s Jewelry Music Box: The Destiny of Things, Story 350

Mini Ballerina Replacement for 80s Jewelry Box:  The Destiny of Things, Story 350

A story with photo updates!  Here is one of them!  How cool, is that?

photo via Etsy buyer from JunkDrawerAndMore

Here is the email I received:

Hello!

I just wanted to thank you so much for the mini ballerina dancer and your note with all the fun items that you included. (I like the American penny... we don't have pennies anymore in Canada) 

After a long search, I finally found it! Yes, I am using it for a vintage jewelry music box I received as a child from my mother. I am refurbishing it on the outside and the inside. Since it's a music box, it needs the ballerina otherwise what's the point.

I've attached some pics, please feel free to use them for your blog or product.

Thanks again.
All the best!

How exciting!  I am so happy her search is over and she found what she needed at one of our shops!  It must be a joy collecting and refurbishing and remembering all the good times with her ballerina jewelry music box!

Here is the other photo she sent:  The before of the broken ballerina....

I guess they tend to break off at the legs!  It does seem to be an exact match!  The Etsy buyer is still looking for the mirror replacement, so if any one out there knows where to find those, please email me and I'll let her know!  Thanks in advance!

Saying Goodbye:  I had my own stash of these, but the first and second batch sold out so fast and after they sold out I received several requests and I let my own stash go.  After this posting I'm going to go put my own stash safely away!

Mini gold ballerina with hand sewn tutu for jewelry box replacement or cake toppers, available here

What I Learned: 

1.  After seeing her before and after photos, now I wish I would have kept my musical ballerina box.  Mine was under a plastic dome and wasn't a jewelry box,  it only played music while the ballerina danced up and down.  I donated it during one of my ten year hoard purges and regret it!

2.  It's probably why I bought these in the first place!  I got them for my mixed media art, but honestly have no idea how I will use them in that manner.

3.  I've bought so many things for my mixed media art, but seem to need more room to lay things out.  I have been doing other art, like boro embroidery patches because mending clothes seem to calm my nerves.  Hopefully I'll get those listed next week.

Is everyone ready for Easter?

I love their gold details and appear to be hand painted with blue eyes and a dot of red lipstick and gold hair, available here

Thank you Etsy buyer from JunkDrawerAndMore for sending your lovely encouraging and inspirational email because it's motivated me to work on all my little projects that I have here and there in boxes!

And I just love the photos of before and after and wish that you have a blast and many happy blasts from the past while finishing it's restoration!  I'd love to see the end results!

This week's goal is making more art, like patches I use in mending my old clothes and socks.  And I'm experimenting to see if I can use art as an alternative to hoarding.  

However, I fell of the Lent Wagon last week!  For Lent I gave up sugar and buying anything not essential.  Unfortunately, before Lent we've been shopping for a new cotton mattress cover.  It's not so easy trying to find a cotton one these days!

Anyways, our is all ripped up and doesn't stay on the bed anymore, so when we went shopping for a new cotton one, which we finally did find, however I also found many float frames for my art that I just could not pass up!  (And I found some other stuff!)  So I mostly spent the week taking off all the sticker residue and trying different art and paper ephemera in them.  I hope to take photos this weekend.

I've been trying to keep up with adding new listings when each shop sells an item, but daylight savings time has thrown off my sleep and my insomnia has returned and I have been making more time daily to try art, instead of window shopping!

Mini ABC Alphabet Wooden Rubber Stamps Set: The Destiny of Things, Story 349

Mini ABC Alphabet Wooden Rubber Stamps Set:  The Destiny of Things, Story 349

Another creative Etsy buyer using these!

Choose a font:  30 mini alphabet wooden rubber stamp set, available here

Thank you Etsy buyer for the quick simple note:

Great little set of letters. Using them in small pottery projects! Thank you! 

Quite inspiring, I would have never thought to have used these with clay.  I wonder what she will spell and what her pottery using these looks like!

Choose a font:  Baby Block, Typewriter, Rockabilly Wild West or grunge (as seen in photo) 30 mini alphabet wooden rubber stamp set, available here
photo via JunkDrawerAndMore 

Saying Goodbye:  I have my own stash of these in various fonts, but quite honestly don't use them often because I'm not very patient with taking them a part.
However, now that my home is less cluttered, I have noticed that I've become more patient and less clumsy, but I'm not sure if any of that has to do with my hoarding issues.

Maybe now that there is more room in our music art room, I'll have more patience to use these cute alphabet stamps!  Any other ideas on how to use them?  What to spell?

 A self confessed stampaholic!  Love these teeny tiny two sided ones!
This fairy set with jumbo lenticular sticker and mini 18 stampers, available here

What I Learned:

1.  I seem to love collecting and thinking about how I'm going to use my wooden rubber stamp  collection more than actually using them, but I have been changing that and have been trying various ones out weekly.

Last week I stamped some "lucky" penny stickers to give out with my "thank you" and "penny for your thoughts" packaging from all my Etsy shops!  And made some "Handle with Care" stickers for our fragile shipping and "RUSH" stickers too! 

2.  My favorite stampers are the self inking ones, like the teeny tiny mini ones shown in the photo above.  Just looking at them again, makes me want to keep them for myself!

3.  Speaking of collections!  When I was teaching I had a huge gigantic teacher rubber stamp collection!  And I kept it all in my Caboodle box!  But found that I only had time to use the self inking ones and my date stamper for all the students who would forget to write their names and dates.  I can't believe I gave the whole thing away when I retired.  Ho hum....

This date stamper below is probably still the stamper I use the most these days!  Especially when I write out "thank you" packaging notes to Etsy buyers.

Mechanical rubber date stamper from 2016 to 2015, available here

Thank you Etsy buyer from JunkDrawerAndMore for sending your short note because I received much insight about my little hoarding ways into my ever growing collection of stampers that I seem to collect more than use!

I have been making more time to be creative, but have so many projects in mind, sometimes I do not know where to start!

 I love these vintage Japanese animal stamp set and love the box and tin too!
These need to be carefully cut a part too, so I have not tried my set out yet.

My new goal is making more art to see if it can fill the void for hoarding.  I've made loteria art cards which are now listed at each shop. Last week, I had been working on some embroidery patches and will be listing them soon too!  And I made some packaging stickers with some of my rubber stamp collection.  
 
 There are themed sets of loteria art cards at each shop.  These are available here

We weren't able to take photos last weekend because power was down right during the time we get nice natural light!  Most of Los Angeles or at least in our neighborhood we had no electricity for over 3 hours last Sunday.  It was weird and felt like power was out for a lot longer, but that's another story!
 
This week I hope to make some wiggle eye stickers, experiment with my stamp collection and make some paper collages. And take photos, so much to catch up on now!
 
Also, I'll be adding new listings when each shop sells an item and it looks like there's some already!
