Hi,the
thing about birthdays is they can come and they can go just like any other day
if you let them. That’s why it is important to make a fuss of family and
friends regardless of the number of candles!
It’s
the day you entered the world and the day the world continues to measure you by
both positive and negative.Its also a milestone that none of us know will be
either the last time or one of many more we will have the luck to celebrate
again so it is vital we all make the absolute most of every one!So wish I took
my own advice last week and had the day off instead of working(always a must!).
Fletcher reckons; he is extremely lucky to have such generous and loving
family whose gifts of birthday cash have swiftly elevated him to Shylock money
lending status at 48…tough negotiator!!
Something funny about shopping for eau de toilette is you work out pretty
quickly you don’t have to pay the outrageous prices when there are plenty of
testers you can use daily for free (great idea)!!
The
undoubted highlight of our week was helping my Mum celebrate her 88th year young birthday (see pic holding
great grandson Daniels hand)an outstanding milestone for our Jonesey family!!!
I
hope you also make the effort to celebrate every occasion of the people nearest
and dearest to you too….Enjoy your life and make sure all those important to
you do too…..Cheers Jonesey!
Kate and Lily reckon hoovering up after family functions is
their present to us all hmmm!!

As you may or may not know the show ‘American Pickers’
is one of my favourite.
I love watching as they go through other peoples
memorabilia collections hunting for treasure!
I am also a bit of a collector/hoarder and have built
up a bit of a stash of stuff!(as you do)!
I thought I might invite the pickers to NZ and see what
we could find ‘free styling’ as the do!
Then I thought, maybe not, this could be a golden
opportunity for me instead…..how so??
Well the first thing was to make the emotional decision
to sell some of my treasure!
Then how to make sure I could give others the opportunity
to get the same enjoyment I have.
So my master plan is to take a stall at the Avondale Market
and to sell heaps of treasure Arrrrr.
My rule of thumb is to keep the stuff that I can
display and that still gives me pleasure and to move the rest on to fellow
treasure hunters who can and will do the same.
I have heaps of stuff that is not displayed and just
stored so why not turn it into cash?
The market is a fun environment to move this on while
fine tuning my bartering and sales skills.
We wont go every week just once a month to meet the
locals, have some fun and take their cash!
Fletcher has indicated he is a starter and has plenty
of used toys and treasures to sell too.
Who knows it could be the start of an exciting career
in sales for him……..or not !!!
We have 1000 golf balls carefully collected over the
years….good 2 for/3 for specials to entice buyers.
We are raring to go….no electronic ‘trade me’ carry on
for us…..its the real face to face deal.
We cant wait, I reckon it’s the coolest most sizzling,fun
sales plan/strategy I’ve ever had!!!
We look forward to bringing you ‘selling the sizzle’
updates from the heat of the Avondale market coal face.

good,today was fun,tomorrow is another one.” Dr Seuss
