Sometimes, It's the little things that count . . even when it's just a little.

Every once in while when I'm out shopping for trash, I'll find something like this:

A bumbo chair.

For $2.00, I can't pass it up.  

Because I know I can list it for $20.00 on Craigslist.

Now, I know $18.00 isn't a huge profit, but I find the little things add up.

This headboard was $10.00.  I later sold it on Craigslist for $30.00.  Another little profit, but what if I sell a few more little things.

A little end table; paid $15.00, solid it for $40.00.

Purchase for $5.00, sold for $25.00.

I paid $5.00 for this beauty and solid it for $25.00 also.

These crates were $10.00 for the bunch.  I sold each for $10.00, making the total sale $40.00.  A $30.00 profit isn't too bad.

I paid $2.00 for this Pottery Barn lamp and sold it for $20.00.

This knee board was $5.00 and I sold it for $40.00.

This vintage suitcase was $6.00 and I sold it for $25.00.

This Brighton watch was $2.00 at a garage sale and it sold for $15.00.

Little things can sometimes add up.

Like spending an afternoon browsing art galleries in Scottsdale with my baby sister Anna

or eating BBQ on a summer's night

or wishing someone you love Happy Birthday.

"Make a wish!"

I've heard it's the little things that count, but when it's selling trash it takes on a whole new meaning.
