Friday has rolled again

Friday, July 30th, 2010

Well I think @weatherangel will be proud of me.. I updated on my windows and plugins. By myself.. I don’t know if i did it right but I tried so that is a plus. Today is Friday. Yard Sale Day.  Going to Flea Market and take some books from under my tables and trade them for some others that I put on the sale table. Children’s books will go up tomorrow. I did not have them out this summer as it was so hot still is but have people asking for them. I am going to try and clean up my shelves… between today and tomorrow..

Got my first payment from Amazon for Waiting for Agnes. Nice to put in bank as my next payment is to the author. So keep buying those books… www.amazon.com  www.readerwave.ecrater.com  and www.ebay.com  I also have shot glasses at www.shotglassheaven.com   check us on line or at our store at the  Lake City Flea Market in Florida USA

Looking and Looking some more

Thursday, July 29th, 2010

Why is it when you are looking for something you can never find it.  Hubby is building me a sewing machine cabinetand inside the door it shows a thread rack.. We were hoping to find one here locally so he would not have to make one. Never happen went to two fabric stores here in town, the Dollar General and even our grocery store.. Went on line to eBay and eCRATER could not find what he was looking for.. I here the saw going out in the garage so he is making one I am sure. Never decide to look for something in our family as its there the week before and gone the next. Remember if you see what you want get it.. it won’t be there next week.

What are you reading? Are you sure it will be something you must have your friend read…Even if they don’t like the same kind of books you do. Or it would be like my friend who does not like to read at all.  I am always telling her about a book or my book store and she is so nice she listens and tells me all the right things. The key word here is listens…. We should be listening to each other even if we are not so keen on the subject matter.. I have learned over the years how to be a listener. I am the biggest talker or was… I have learned how to sit and be quite and be by myself… Can you do that.. I learned this from a great man. Yap the same great man I wrote about last year.He is still here doing great things.. This summer he drove me to NY State to bury my parents.. Now he has been out in the garage for over a week building me a sewing machine cabinet.  Its looking so nice. And I am being so nice to him I let him take me to dinner last night..I would let him take me to the post office to mail books but I have not sold any in a couple of days… It started off so nice we went three days in a row… Waiting for Agnes is waiting over here in a corner to be put in a bag to be mailed all over the place… We have shipped all over the US, Canada, England, Sweden, Lots of different places we can do it again.. You can order it at www.amazon.com www.readerwave.ecrater.co  www.ebay.com  And I have shot glasses for sale at www.shotglassheaven.com  I might not have this one shot pictured I picked just a picture out of the many I have. I have so many more to list  and I have been putting it off.. I will get to it some day.

Whats in a Title?

Sunday, July 25th, 2010

Title is a lot of things.. Start of what’s inside the body of your page… Or could just be a come and check us out kinda thing… Or in my case Don’t know what to write… LOL.. I love periods.. I never write the way it should be. This is my blog and I like periods…….  This weekend the flea market was slow. But I was busy.. Thanks to all the new customers… Thanks to all the old ones telling friends about us. I got three boxes of trades in Now I need to straighten my shelves out… Wish it was cooler as I love this part except for the heat… I guess I wll get there early as I can and turn all the fans on me…  Looking for ward to next weekend.  I will have Children’s books on my sale table Then the next week the harlequin… Remember the drill.. If I could afford more space I would make space for both to be out at the same time..   I am not buying books from anyone at this time. I may in the future. I need to build up my cash flow for a month or so.. I am taking trades.. a book and .50 for a book…  I no longer have computer books. I sold all of them today. Thanks to that customer.  I am taking away Biography’s I will have them on the front table from time to time. But not on a shelf by themselves.. I sell other things faster and they need the space.. I am thinking of putting my cookbooks on that shelf. But that is not set in stone… I am paying more money for hardcovers when I buy them So anything I get now will be more than $1.00  If someone is thinking of trading there Twilight series or any book of that kind come see me.

Remember that Waiting for Agnes is for sale at www.amazon.com www.readerwave.ecrater.com and www.ebay.com   I also have shot glasses for sale at www.shotglassheaven.ecrater.com   you can find me on twitter as readerwave and facebook as Dona West.  Come see me anytime.

Friday, July 23rd, 2010

on our vacation this balloon landed and took off again by our hotel

I sold two book in two days this is wonderful. One here in Florida the other in Sweden. I mailed one yesterday and the other today.  Will be going to yard sales this morning. Can’t wait love doing this.. Have to go back to the library and Wal-Mart to return books.. I have read this series and had forgotten. And it was just this winter.

I wrote out my news letter for the Flea Market. mentioned that I am putting the sale table out first Saturday in August.  I wish I had room and money to expand would make it a every week thing for both Children’s books and Harlequin/Silhouette.  I have some Condensed books, customer was asking for them a while ago and found some and they have not been back.. Also some large print. had a good week… Found more Nora Roberts. I am getting a lot of trade these days.. So I have not been able to get under my counters and put it out no room.. I did trade on my hardcover table took some off and put others out. Going to put away biography this week so I have room for some other things that sell better..   I am collecting strawberry boxes.. I can fit 28 books nicely and I can read the titles on them nicely. They will be great for when I have to move the book store in October because of the fair.  I wish the Flea Market was open Thursday though Sunday that would be great.Of course there are people who work those days and can’t come But there are allot of us who are retired and could come. Something to think about.

Don’t forget Waiting for Agnes is for sale on line  by local author Joe Bullard at www.amazon.com www.ebay.com  www.readerwave.ecrater.com  I can offer different prices at each one as it cost me different at each one..  and you can find me here.. write all question to me here or readerwave@bellsouth.net

Some habits are so hard to brake. I wrote on FB yesterday that I would not be back on it or play on FV till Monday as its so slow… Took me 25 mins to harvest crops yesterday. Well I found myself getting on this morning just habit. Well after waiting 5 mins to get something done I got right back out. Time for the company to hire some help and get out of the garage. I know they must be making some money as people are buying things for there stores or farms as they can’t wait while they earn this farm cash.

Books

Thursday, July 22nd, 2010

Just finished reading Susan Mallery’s “Delicious” and found there is another book and its a series… That is good and bad.. I had already picked a book up at the library that I could not find in our local Wal-Mart. Now I have to look for the next one in this series “Irresistible”.  Will have to look in my boxes of book and at the store stock before I go on line….

Hubby is building me a cabinet for my sewing machine.. Then I am going to get busy and try my hand at making things for my books… Maybe bring in a little extra money.. I have so many customers trading that I don’t have the income I had hoped for..  The snow birds coming back soon I hope that this will help. Waiting for Agnes had a sale this week.. I hope this picks up soon also.  I am on amazon and I can’t believe someone is trying to sell used Waiting for Agnes for more than I sell new… I do ship to other countries… I find it fun to see how far books go.  I should figure out how many I have sold. Been selling this book for two years. Been a good relationship with author and seller.. Thanks to all of you.. We could be coming out with a second book soon..I can’t wait.  I need to go clean out the dishwasher.. and make a list for the grocery store. Yesterday I found dinner in the freezer don’t think I can do that today… Does not seem possible the weekend is almost hear again. Tomorrow is yard sale going day, I miss going on Saturdays but I can’t be a two places at once..I wish my grands lived closer so I could employ one of the girls to be there for a few hours on Saturday mornings.Would not even have to be every week  Everyone have a great day.

What a Day

Monday, July 19th, 2010

That is an understatement. Cut my finger first thing this morning . Then  we went shopping at Wal Mart. could not find the first book in a series that I wanted…(Customers does it sound familiar)  Went to AT&T to get a new phone.. ended up coming home with the old one… Watched my soap opera…. (that was good).Looked on Amazon to see why i was not selling any books… It was not on there.. So called them on the phone and talked to this one person who i did not understand very well and we ended up shouting and I hung up… Called back and talked to a very nice man… and found I really did not need to call back as the man before had fixed the problem… So thanks who ever you were…Now maybe I will get some sales and some cash back in my checking account so I can buy books for my book store… I offered my daughter a partnership and she laughed at me… I don’t know why well maybe I do half of nothing is nothing… LOL…Does not look like I will be up sizing anytime soon.. Just not bringing in enough cash…to carry it … maybe next year

Went to write my blog and it was not working .. wrote an email to my favorite Geek(Weatherangel) as she is know on Twitter… She talked me thought it over the phone and now we are back in business.  So I am writing you and then I will go watch a movie….with my husband. 

Have a great night what ever you do……
