Today is Wednesday, I think. When you are on Melbourne, Australia time because you are trying to watch as much of the Aussie Open in real time, you lose track of what day it is.
I love tennis. I'm very excited that there is one American woman and one American man in the semis! My one and only favorite tennis player retired recently. Rafa Nadal! Rafa never broke a racquet! He will always be the GOAT in my eyes.
Now an update on what's happened for my closet recently.
I went to Goodwill this past Sunday. It's 50% off on a certain color. I found no dresses because I found out that around noon they start taking the 50% off color off the racks! Why, I asked. They take the oldest items to the back to discard them.
I suggested they have bins of .99 items so what they toss will instead go to good use. Besides, it would be a good deal for me.
Anyway, I found several tops at 50% off. Most had original tags! I also found two joggers that were in excellent shape. One is Under Armour and one is Calvin Klein.
I did find one top that I paid the full price of 5.99! I could not resist. It turned out to be a good thing. It is a J. Crew halter style lined lace top with a bow tie in back. There's a subtle shine to the lace. Very feminine, very beautiful. It has the original tags but no price and has never been worn. I had to do some research but the original price had to be at least $89! I listed it for $39. I may have been able to ask for more but I feel this price is fair.
This is what picks up my spirits- shopping for the real thing that turns out to be a great deal! Every aspect of Poshmark is fun for me.
I love the "hunt" for great items. I love doing the research on those items. When I find out how much it is worth, I jump for joy, figuratively speaking.
I enjoy listing the item because I am full of hope that it will sell and bring joy to someone else.
I share and follow and share and follow and then one day, it happens. It sells and I get the e-mail that it sold.
I love packaging the item and writing a thank you card with a personal touch.
Then, I take it to the post office and I can pass by the line and leave it on the counter because it has a prepaid label!
Yes siree! I love doing this. It's fun, it keeps me active. It makes me feel good that people buy my items and are happy too.
It may not be a million dollar business but it is worth so much more to have something worthwhile to do when you are my age! I taught for 45 years. I am not one to sit around and do nothing! Posh gives me purpose!
