Here’s a quick look at some fun things I found last month. If you’re a political person, you might appreciate these 1980s (mostly) feminist pins. Some are pretty critical of men (“the more I see men, the more I like my dog”), but it’s all in good fun I’m sure. And to be honest, it’s a fair point for some of us. Political/activist pins do pretty well on eBay, so there’s some money to be made here.
I also saved a bunch of photos (including a few of a protest), a bag of foreign coins (one of which was silver), an enameled “female” symbol (if that’s what you call that), a cute vintage compact, and a tiny ceramic dog.
I also found a bunch of postcards, including this cool set of feminist postcards from the same era as the pins. These might do well on eBay as well.
Postcards were a good seller for me last year. People are happy to pay 1$ a pop (or less on a bundle deal), and they’re easy to store.
Otherwise, I’ve come down with a cold. Nothing too serious, but it’s a little annoying. It’s been pretty chilly; I’ve gone on a few garbage runs but haven’t come up with anything spectacular. Thankfully I have a bunch of stuff in the garage that’s been sitting around for literally years waiting for me to document it, so there is no shortage of things to talk about.
