Rubber stamps. Here is a wonderful find from my very own garage. I tried to sell it in a garage sale a couple years ago for $20. Crazy people missed their chance! So, now that I have found it again, I am trying to figure out what to do with it.
Y'all know I am not a project person. The first thought was throw 'em all in a jar and adore them. My second thought was to buy some heavier stock paper and make word cards. You know...like flashcards. Hmm...wonder if those would sell. Otherwise, I'll close the cute wooden case and slap a price on them for Primitiques. Not sure which way to go.As a follow up to Mammo Madness (yesterday's post), I thought I'd let y'all know that I spoke with my doctor today. She was appalled by the things the tech said to me and with my permission (and yours), she is going to contact the tech's supervisor. No one should be subjected to that talk. It would be one thing if she were a friend messing around...but, in a professional setting, it was wrong. Amen.
Happy Evening!

Love the stamps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can you ship them to Michigan?
ReplyDeleteAmen to your doctor!! I'm so glad you said something to her!
I love those old stamps. I have a set myself. They are good for stamping price tags!
ReplyDeleteIf Michigan doesn't take them - I will!!!If you decide you can part with them!!!!Those are so cool - with their own box!!!
ReplyDeleteI have a set of stamps that belonged to my great uncle (and most likely my grandmother used). My great uncle will be 90 in March. I also haev some books that he stamped his name in.
ReplyDeletedoesn't look like they are selling real well on ebay right now. sometimes they sell for over $20. I purchased a set for about that last year very similar to yours. I use the pointing hand on lots of my price tags in my booth. They would look good in a jar too.

Those are cool! Remember you may be NEEDING mdse. Thanks for the sweet comments about my mother. She was a sweetheart and I was a mama's girl for sure. Debbie
ReplyDeleteThe stamp set is great. All those who do paper art would love them. Personally, I love the jar idea but I also collect letters that spell PEACE. Good luck! Jan
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't rule out eBay with a minimum bid or reserve price. As you know, you have to follow an item all the way through bid closing to know the true prices things are selling for. It's not unusual for prices to quadruple in the last seconds of a bid closing. There are 81 pieces there, nothing apparently missing, plus the box. It would be an easy item to ship.
ReplyDeleteHi! Mindy, Love the stamps...I'd be happy to take them off your hands! Let me know.
ReplyDeleteGood for you girl! That lady has no business doing that for a living!
Have a great day!

Whew! Ok. So, it's good that I found the stamps, eh? I have had 5 ladies contact me, wanting to buy them. As of this very moment, I think I am going to try the word card idea. See if I can make and sell words made with the stamps. If that bombs, I will get back to you interested parties. Thanks! ~Mindy
ReplyDeleteWord cards? Seriously. Honey, you know you don't have enough time for crafts! What are you thinkin'? lol Ladies, don't put your check books away just yet. I have a feeling this won't take too long! ;-)
ReplyDeleteHey, David! I bet I could use the stamps to write "Peace" on a card and Jan at Summer Sundays might want one! Maybe I could take custom orders. Ye of little faith. By the way, we both know I don't do "crafts" or "projects"...but, I'm hoping this will be quick and easy. ~Mindy
ReplyDeleteI think you should send one to FringeGirl that says, "We the People." :-)
ReplyDeleteDavid's on a role today!
ReplyDeleteI think those stamps are really cool. Your card idea doesn't sound so bad either. Crafting can be therapeutic.

Love the stamps too, that girlchild of mine would have a hey day making stuff with those!! If you still don't find a taker let me know.
ReplyDeleteI had a set of old stamps like this when I taught at a parochial school. I wish I would have asked if I could take them when I left. I am sure they got thrown away.
ReplyDeleteThose stamps are cool! You know me...I would be printing out naughty words!
