Spirit Dove Religious Medal Added to Huge Charm Necklace: The Destiny of Things, Story 442

Spirit Dove Religious Medal Added to Huge Charm Necklace:  The Destiny of Things, Story 442

Her charm necklace was started the day she was born!  So cool!  BEFORE:

 This design is sold out, but we have another one like it with clouds and light rays with a spirit dove in the middle, available here

Here is the email I received from this gracious Etsy buyer:

Dear Kennedy,

Please feel free to share my photo and story on your blog. The photo attached is my new charm necklace.

When I was born in 1970 my mom started a charm bracelet for me. Over the years my mother and grandmother put many charms on it and as I've grown I've continued to add charms I like as well as ones from my husband, children and friends to it! I have just in the last month converted it into a necklace. The most important thing to me in my life is God! So I want to make sure that my charm necklace represents me accurately. I have a beautiful Amber cross which reminds me that my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ who died so that I would be set free from the burden of sin and in receiving him and believed in his name he gave us the right to become children of God and inherit The Kingdom with Him someday! My mother gave me a beautiful praying hands charm which I love because I'm so thankful for the access Christ gave us to the King of Kings and the God of the universe. My recent additions were a Bible, because I love the Lords word it is truth, and the beautiful holy spirit charm (I bought from you) that reminds me how thankful I am for His guidance and council He gives me here on earth. Blessed be the God and father of our Lord Jesus Christ who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ. 
Ephesians 1:3
Our God and Savior, desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, 1 Timothy 2:3-5
 
I pray that you would know our Lord and Savior if you do not know him already.
God bless you and much love to you,
Kristy Rosenbaum

AFTER:  This is just beautiful!  A collection since 1970!  So amazing!  Take a look!  photo via Etsy buyer

I spy my spirit dove charm on the top right of the necklace almost next to her amber cross.  The praying hands medal is to your left, close to the "I heart my cat charm!"

I love it all!  What a great collection!  I lost count at 43 charms!  Where is the jealous button?

This design is sold out, but we have another one like it with clouds and light rays with a spirit dove in the middle.  It also has Pray for Us and marked Itlay on the back, available here

Saying Goodbye:  I do love my religious medal collection and went on a buying spree during the 80s to 90s to make religious art, but lost interest after about 2-3 years.  I wore a lot of it, but now that I'm allergic to most metals, I hope they all find new lives and good homes, like the Etsy buyer, Kristy!

Here is a similar one, but with clouds and light rays with a spirit dove in the middle.  It also has Pray for Us and marked Itlay on the back, available here

What I Learned:

1.  I need to use what I have, instead of going on art supply buying sprees!  One of the many issues I have as a recovering hoarder is "everything" has potential.  A thought of how to use this or that will go through my mind and by the time I get it in the mail either the idea or the inspiration is gone.

I have a hoard of projects going through my head and I think I need this or that to finish it, but in reality, I should just use what I have.

2.  So one of my biggest solutions, as a recovering hoarder is to change the way I think!  I have all kinds of reasons to collect, tons of flowing ideas for art projects, so many memories and feelings (good and bad) stored inside each piece of my hoard.

 Sterling silver spirit dove 5 way scapular cross on the front and on the back it's a 3 way scapular cross, available here
The scapular cross includes St Joseph, St Anne, the Guardian Angel, Infant of Prague, St Christopher, Miraculous Mary and Jesus Sacred Heart!

3.  Sometimes I just buy a piece because of it's beauty, but how much beauty do I need in objects?  I know I can find alternatives, like growing and arranging my own flowers.

Sometimes I buy things because it's just easy retail therapy and it helps me to let out some accumulated steam that's going to burst.  It seems to help my anxiety and stress too.  I feel better after buying something, like eating a piece of chocolate as an afternoon pick me up, but does it really help me and is it really that healthy?

4.  I also think that being surrounded by my hoard in some ways makes me feel safe.  I haven't quite figured that out yet, but I know I will figure it out and then I can change my thinking about it.

How can you change your thoughts to make your life better?  This Hoarder Rehab journey has definitely benefited my changing my thoughts towards my hoard and about myself as a recovering hoarder!

I was trying a new experiment on Etsy and listing items until I got to 180-185 items listed on each shop, but Etsy has introduced another addition to it's new format, called Etsy Studio?  I'm interested, but will have to figure out how to use it to my best advantage! 
 
I think it'll take me about week to change everything using the new addition to the format, or at least I hope so because it only seems directed to supplies, so wish me luck!

Happy St Patrick's day!  I saved this post for St Patrick's day because St Patrick was known to teach the trinity by using a shamrock clover.  Each leaf represents the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

The shamrock is also the national plant of Ireland!

Here is the art I was making in 1980s to 90s because I loved religious Mexican Folk Art.  Ever since I saw a banner full of milagros at the Mengei in San Diego, I have been collecting milagros since that time too!  However, milagros were very difficult to find back then, so I started to collect religious medals and other charms instead.  The garden milagro helped me turn my black thumb into a green one, available here.  Lover's cross, available here

3 Little Pigs Hanging Fairy Tale Ornaments: The Destiny of Things, Story 441

3 Little Pigs Hanging Fairy Tale Ornaments:  The Destiny of Things, Story 441

Such cute little soviet pigster ornaments!

 The little piggies in the photo have sold, but we have another set in just like it, but in different colors, available here
photo via VintageToGoeasy

Here is the note I received:

They were a gift for a Russian friend. Shipping fantastic. Arrived the day of the party. Everyone loved them.

Too cool, so fun!


Even the box is cute!  Another set of Three Little Pig ornaments, available here
photo via VintageToGoeasy

I am so thankful these found a new life and new home to someone who appreciates them!  I love Christmas ornaments, but since I have a hoard of them, I decided to keep my handmade and favorite ones and pass along the others.

A different set of Three Little Pig ornaments just like these with the cutest berets but in different colors, available here
photo via VintageToGoeasy

Saying Goodbye:  I have so many Christmas ornaments and like I said, I'm trying to let them go because I have enough for two trees!  My family made a new ornament every year to give to my Dad's clients, so now I have hundreds of handmade ornaments and my favorite ornaments from childhood to college.

Here are the new vintage 3 Little Pigs in their different colors, available here
photo via VintageToGoeasy 

What I Learned:

1.  I just love Christmas ornaments and have a hoard of them!  However, I can honestly say that I found someone with more ornaments than me! And this person is absolutely happy with all her ornaments.  She has over 1700!  I'll include the link to her story in "Related Stories."

Me?  I am happier if my ornaments and the rest of my hoard find new homes because my goal, as a recovering hoarder is to have a minimalistic home with more plants than things in it! 

2.  I bought some of these as Christmas Eve gifts for some little ones I know, who were into fairy tales at the time, but then I was informed that they only use brand new ornaments, not vintage ones, so they went into my "Hoarding without Hoarding" experiment.

My "Hoarding without Hoarding" experiment started when I let go of over 500 items of my hoard through my Etsy shops when I thought I'd invest some of my profits and try to flip some, ahem, "a lot" of items!

I have mixed feeling about the experiment because it's been successful in some areas and not in others.  Will I try the experiment again?  Definitely not!

Here is the other box of fairy tale ornaments I ordered for the fairy tale crazed little ones, "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.  They are usually available at out other shop, Hoarder Rehab, but since the listing expired 10 days before Christmas, I haven't relisted them.  If you would like them, email me at hoarderrehab@gmail.com and I'll relist them for you.

Thank you Etsy buyer from VintageToGoeasy for taking the time to share your story!  And so happy that your Russian friend loved them and will take good care of 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!  I've been gleaning so much insight about my hoarding ways.

It took me 2-3 weeks to change all the shops to the new format and now I see they added more to the new format!  I'll take a break before I check out the new additions to the new format and try them out.
 
I'm returning to my Etsy experiment to see if my shops to better with 180 items in each shop.

Day of the Dead Centerpiece Lady Guadalupe Fiesta Vase or Candle Holder: The Destiny of Things, Story 440

Day of the Dead Centerpiece Lady Guadalupe Fiesta Vase or Candle Holder:  The Destiny of Things, Story 440

An Etsy buyer saw these at a restaurant and had to have them!

Cobalt blue Lady Guadalupe or Virgin Mary vase candle holder, available here

He was so happy to have found them in blue and red!  And I am so happy they are finding a good home and new life!  Thank you!

Here is the centerpiece vase or candle holder in red, available here
photo via JunkDrawerAndMore

He wanted them in brown or clear, but I've never seen in that color.  These are from my Mexican Folk Art collection.  I had these in sets of 8 in each color for my repetition art, but now that I'm dehoarding, I'm letting them go.

Here is the photo he sent me of one he wanted in brown:

Good thing I've never known these to come in brown or clear, otherwise I'd have them too!  However, now as a recovering hoarder, I think I can pass them up!
I see he's going to be using his as a candle holder.  I use mine both ways!

Saying Goodbye:  I just love Mexican Folk Art, which seems to have been branded as Day of the Dead or fiesta now.  I used to make a lot of religious Mexican folk art and loteria card art back in the 1980s to 90s.

 My 1980s to 90s religious Mexican Folk Art.  Ever since I saw a banner full of milagros at the Mengei in San Diego, I have been collecting milagros since that time too!  The garden milagro helped me turn my black thumb into a green one, available here.  Lover's cross, available here

What I Learned:

1.  As a recovering hoarder and repetition artist I am just starting to really see how my collections get so "out of control!"  I've always known it and could see my hoard, but I guess it's now finally sinking in and gradually finding solutions and other alternatives to handle my anxiety.

Today a good friend reminded me that "awareness is a place of growth."  Today has been one of those days!  I am so thankful for that!

2.  I gave up coffee, buying non food items and fried foods for Lent and I started to wean myself from coffee about a month or two ago, so that's going all right, but my fried food cravings are sky rocketing!  I'm trying to replace it with organic roasted teriyaki sea weed, it's working somewhat and I hope will work by the end of Lent!

I haven't bought anything hoard related or art related in a couple months and the stuff I did order, has either arrived broken or hasn't arrived, so when I get my refunds going to donate that money to charity.  

We take all our feral cats to Fixnation for a check up and neuter, so I'm going to give them a thank you and donation.  And another to a clinic, who provides low cost walk in health care.

What did you give up for Lent and how are you doing with it?

One of my alternatives to hoarding is making art!  These also make a nice addition to a table centerpiece.  (Example more towards the end) Here is my Frida Kahlo loteria card art, inspired by her painting, "Wounded Deer" and her last painting of Viva la Vida watermelons, which translates to "Go with Life," available here

Thank you Etsy buyer from JunkDrawerAndMore for taking the time to share your story!  I was so curious, how you found them in brown and clear and wanted them in those colors too!  but I'm practicing impulse control and am thankful I didn't have to go looking for some!
 
I thought I was the only one who found items I see and love at other places and have to have them!  I'm used to asking people where they got their cool haircut or clothing or whatever I find fascinating!
 
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.

I am still trying a new experiment on Etsy and listing items until I got to 180-185 items listed on each shop, but Etsy has introduced a new format, which I'm really excited about!  So I've been working daily going through each listing using the new format.
 
It's taking me longer than I thought to change everything using the new format.  I think it's going to take me another week to complete, so wish me luck!

My Frozen Charlotte Porcelain Penny Doll Collection: Today's Hoarder Rehab Epiphany #11

My Frozen Charlotte Porcelain Penny Doll Collection:  Today's Hoarder Rehab Epiphany #11

A request from another collector through Etsy email!

This is half of my Frozen Charlotte and Frozen Charlie Penny Doll collection.
The Charlottes are on the left and the Charlies to the right.
Request it and I'll list the one you want on my Etsy shop.
The black wooden display shelf is already available here
photo via VintageToGoEasy

Someone who mainly collects Frozen Charlotte dolls asked if I had any photos of my doll collection.  I didn't, so last weekend we took some photos of them.  Please forgive the lighting, it was very rainy and cold the day we took these and the room with the best light doesn't have any heat, so I worked as quickly as I could.

Here is the other half of my collection.  It's not the complete collection because some are scattered around the house or boxed and ready to ship from the shops.

I was collecting the same dolls for my repetition art, at the time I had grand ideas for them!
You can get a better look at the Dutch boy here and  Weatherbird Dutch girl here at our shop, VintageToGoEasy

I lost count at 50, but probably have about 100.  Many have already found new lives and good homes!  Here are some close ups:  Ladies first!

I think I'll be letting go of all the single ones, so all the girls with the red bow I'll be keeping for my repetition art.

Sweet looking boys!  The Putz style boy and girl duo who look like they are waiting for a parade to begin are listed here with the he Dutch boy here and Weatherbird Dutch girl here at our shop, VintageToGoEasy

Oh no, the top shelf got a little camera shy.   
The two kokeshi dolls are part of my doll and stationary collection.  Their bottoms unscrew and inside is a scroll of paper to write a letter.  I have two newer ones that are similar and one of them came with the tag to send through snail mail!  Luckily I didn't get too far on my kokeshi doll collection!

Close up of the camera shy!

Fraternal twins?  Her arms are some where in the photos!  Anyone spy them?

I think I prefer the arms over the unjointed dolls!

Two little cuties, all dressed up and no where to go!


 7 Little Bo Peep for my repetition art.

 Anybody interested in instant triplets?



 Personally I like the broken dolls, but they are just as expensive as the unbroken ones, so some of these I was going to take a part and use or break them myself.  Very very difficult for me to break them.  It's like getting up enough nerve to cut into some new fabric without a pattern!
The wooden figurine that's way in the back, left hand side, of a country girl doing her chores is available here at our shop, VintageToGoEasy

My favorites are the little tiny wee threesome to the very right!  I noticed many of these don't stand up too well on their own.  I thought it might be because I was so cold in that room and was losing patience, so if they are lying flat they either don't stand so well on their own or some have the tacky stuff on the bottom of them, so they don't fall over while displayed during an earthquake.

I'd love to make some clothes for the jointed ones and use them in my mixed media art.  Writing this post has been inspiring for that!

What I Learned:

1.  I have more ideas in my head and art supplies and need to take the time to use them!  For instance, today I feel like removing the paint off the ones that have some of the paint rubbed off them already and repainting them in neons, or giving them a more updated look or rosy cheeks!

2.  I also have these cute clear little coffins saved up as boxes to display all seven Little Bo Peeps.  I was looking for clear boxes or shadow boxes, but the little coffins were within my budget, so I need to find the coffin boxes again!

This little doll head I use lot!  So maybe I'll start mix and matching the heads and bodies!

Here she is again as a prop!

Thank you Etsy shopper from VintageToGoEasy for asking if I'd share photos of my doll collection because it really has inspired me to do "something" with them now and hopefully others will find a new life and good home for them too!

I also love these pink plastic dolls, if anyone out there has some of these, I'd be willing to trade!

Who wants to take a bath first?

The washi tape art in the background is available here at our other shop, The Destiny of Things

I'm almost done with changing all the listings at each shop using Etsy's new format.  Phew!  I  think it'll take me about two more days to finish up.  YIPEE!  Then I'll start new listing again!

James Bond 0070 Theme Birthday Party Invitations: The Destiny of Things, Story 439

James Bond 0070 Theme Birthday Party Invitations:  The Destiny of Things, Story 439

 Fun classic 007 Sean Connery style bling for 0070th birthday party invites!

10 mini guns Peaky Sean Connery James Bond or Peaky Blinders long barrel pistols, available here.  Photo via JunkDrawerAndMore 
These usually sell out fast, right now we only have them in silver.

Her husband is going to have a grand party because I've already lost count on how many of these gold guns she has ordered to add to the invitations!  So many friends and family to invite and celebrate!

How exciting and fun!  When the time comes, I think I'll have a James Bond 0070th themed birthday party too!

 These modern James Bond guns are our most popular of them all and sell out quickly too!  In gold or silver, available here.  Photo via JunkDrawerAndMore
Today we have many sets of 10 in this style ready to ship out!

Saying Goodbye:  I have my own stash of these put away, but I wonder how many I'll need for my 70th birthday!  

 Here is what the silver ones look like.  I see a revolver sneaked into the photo!  Your order will have 10 of all the same type of classic long barrel 007 spy guns!

These usually sell out fast, right now we only have them in silver.

What I Learned:

1.  In my last post, I was ready to give up my hoard in a purge or at least I felt like it, but today I'm not so sure.  If I think of my Etsy shops as my Hoarder Rehab I am fine with it, but if I think of it as a job..... I tend to get conflicting feelings, so I'm going to focus on it being my Hoarder Rehab!

Very interesting how just a little shift in my thinking makes such a big difference!
2.  Also, we hope to move in a year and I can't imagine taking all this stuff with me again!  Another interesting thing I've noticed is the more I can change my thinking about why I hoard or what my stress triggers are, the less I feel attached to my stuff!

 Modern James Bond guns in key chain size, available here

3.  For instance, if I think of my purpose in life, it's not hoarding and I know hoarding is not going to help me get the things I want out of this life.  Even though hoarding is such a comfort to me and is probably protecting me from some fears or other negative feelings I carry with me from my past or worries I had about the future.  In the end, I can't take it with me.....

And in the end, I don't think I'll be thinking, oh, I should have bought that one last thing!  This kind of thinking has helped me a lot.  Thank you Wayne Dyer and Louise Hays!  However, it is like a tug of war because changing old thought patterns isn't as easy for me as I thought it would be.

I am gentle with myself and remind myself that my hoard wasn't built in a day and changing my thoughts is going to take time and will happen when I'm fully ready to let go..... of whatever I need to let go.

4.  It's okay, if I'm feeling a little confused or conflicted about my hoard because it reminds me to change my thoughts and to remember my goals and focus on my purpose.

5.  Lastly, I'm determined to improve my health and am giving up several things to help my body to heal during Lent and beyond, which starts today, March 1 and ends, April 13.  I've given up coffee, fried foods and my stress related retail therapy for better health and self restraint!

I've been preparing myself for Lent for about a month now and have been cutting down on my coffee intake to half a cup every other day and skipping my stress foods and/or favorite foods, like organic potato chips, fried chicken and french fries.

We already juice fast 3 times a week, but I'm wondering if we should go traditional Lent this year?  I'll have to read more about it later after I finish this posting.

What are you doing for Lent today? or doing to better yourself, health and discipline today?

Thank you Etsy buyer from JunkDrawerAndMore for taking the time to share your story!  I was so curious, wondering how many guns were going to be ordered all together and what their purpose was going to be.  They will definitely add some bling to 0070 invitations!
 
I remember these mini guns from my childhood and play fighting with my brother!  Maybe he'll be getting the 0070th birthday party too!
 
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.
