What a fun email and new idea to add for themed parties using fortune teller fish:

My item came fast and I am excited to share them with the party goers at my sons 18th roll your own sushi party! I remember these from my childhood always so much fun! I will also be putting one in the thank you notes from his party!

I love how this person is planning on making new memories while it brings back some old ones!  And who doesn't like extra fish at a sushi party!  And one that will tell your fortune too!

These can be set individually added on each serving plate to be played with until dinner arrives.  Fun way to keep guests occupied while waiting to be served or added to a party favor bag for later.  And if one forgets to use them for the party or just wants a reminder of extra fishy fun memories for the guests, add them to your thank you notes!

Easy simple fun, just take the fortune teller fish out of the bag and place it in the palm of your hand and see what it does!  Available here

Easy simple fun, just take the fortune teller fish out of the bag and place it in the palm of your hand and see what it does!  Then turn the bag over and see what your fortune fish movements tell you!  Any age can play!

Saying Goodbye:  I used these all the time in the classroom when I was teaching third grade, as an introduction to magic, which was really teaching science and math.  Every student got one and used the scientific process to figure out how they actually worked!

What I Learned:

1.  I am so thankful that some of my old teaching hoard has become one of our top sellers, which I call rehoard because now we just list them for fun and anyone can enjoy them for all kinds of different themed parties, like weddings for love, simple magic party favors, nautical, beach, pirate, mermaid, fisherman, fortune telling and now sushi parties!

2.  All my left side pain from bursitis and sciatica are now gone!  I've been doing digestion yoga for years now by just following these pictures, here, they help my bursitis and sciatica as well.  The best exercises I found for my bursitis is here, especially the scapular setting one.  

To best use the scapular setting one, I hold my arms in front of me with my elbows bent at 90 degree angle, palms facing away from me to keep my arms in place until I learned how to move only my scapulars in the three motions used.  For me, this helps with the sharp pain I used to get that feels like it's under and behind my scapular.

The best thing for my sciatica is mediation and I use Ajahn Brahm's guided meditation for pain here.  He has many on how to deal with pain, so you can do a search on the site and also, I started off with the introductory meditations which are only a half hour.  I lay down for all my meditations.  Sometimes I can sit in a car and sometimes I can't, still trying to figure that one out.

Now the best exercise I've found for keeping my sciatica and bursitis in check besides the daily digestive yoga is an exercise I found called the thoracic bridge shown in Max Shank's youtube video, here and I do it much slower and much more carefully than he does, lol.  Thank you Max Shank!  I can do two sets now!  I instantly feel better every time I use the thoracic bridge, but I do them very slowly and carefully.

What is your favorite exercise for your overall health?  I hope to get back to jump roping and then perhaps Aikido or Judo lessons.

Thank you Etsy buyer from VintageToGoEasy for letting me know another way to use these for a sushi themed party!  I really appreciate the inspiration!  Thank you!  And Happy 18th Birthday to your son!  with many more!

My purge pile is growing.  I seem to add something every week, which is good for me because before I had to keep everything.  This weekend is King Tut or watching FIFA World Cup, so hopefully I'll have a substantial pile to donate by the weekend of end of June!  I hope I remember to take a photo of my hoard pile.

I'm not a big fan of watching sports, but I do love all the eating!  I think watching the last five minutes of any sport is the way to go!  And have all the snacks first!  If we do watch soccer than I'll be new listing while the games are going on in between all the yummy foods!

Everyday is such 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.

We are having an Etsy sale that Etsy is promoting this weekend, but ours will last a week longer.  Everything is on sale at all four shops.  Come see and buy!

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!

Another shout out birthday to Etsy!  Happy 13th Birthday Etsy!  I wish you many more!  Thank you for everything you've done to help me let go of all my hoard!  I couldn't have done it without you!

I've changed all the holiday categories to Independence Day and all the jewelry is back to their more specific listings on all the shops.  It took way too much time, so next time I think I'll put the holiday that Etsy doesn't provide in the tag listings.  

My goal is still to list 170 items per shop, which I've been working on at least 1-2 times a week.  It looks like I have a lot of listing to catch up on!

Despite the Etsy Birthday promotional, sales are down, but that's okay because there is more time to do other things, like narrow down my crafting options because I have way too much craft supplies. I think I'm going to start listing my washi tape because now I have made so many paper quilts, I'm not sure what to do with them all, except to start using them as postcards.  

We have joined the Etsy sale that starts on June 18, but we'll start our sale one week earlier and one week after.  Also, next month, mid July, Etsy is raising their fees across the board, except for the listing fee.  So I might be adding a dollar or more to each listing to cover the new fees.

Click on the shop names to visit new hoard listed daily and/or weekly: HoarderRehab with 164 items, The Destiny of Things- 163 items, VintageToGoEasy - 168 items and JunkDrawerAndMore - 169 items. 

Maybe you'll find something and give it new life and a new home!  Thanks for looking!

Here is a Red Ball fish, it still has it's sticker on the bottom of it and would make a cute cupcake topper for the guest of honor at your next sushi party, available here
