Virtual yard sale, part 1
Okay, so as I've already told some of you, I'm finally unloading a bunch of things--primarily knitting and beading stuff, and some BPAL. I was originally planning to go through more normal channels for such things, but given the interest some people showed, I was persuaded to post things here first.
I will be doing this in stages, because I don't have the patience to sit around cataloguing everything up front. For now, here's what I've got:
First, a couple of semi-mystery items. (More photos of most of these are posted here, too.)
This is a very nice handspun yarn, but all I know about it is that it's alpaca-based. I have no idea of the yardage. It's fairly bulky, which makes it even harder to estimate.
This next one is also handspun, and a fascinating mix of fibers: fabric, wool of some kind, even metal. I love the mix of bronze, gold and green tones.
It's a very small skein, about enough for a small purse (my initial intention for it) or other small item.
Now for some things I still have tags and info about:
This one hurts a bit, because it means admitting to myself that I'm not actually going to make the Tuscan shawl from No Sheep for You, which was my plan when I bought this beautiful silk-merino blend. (Which I guess would have made it an "only some sheep for you" shawl instead.) Anyway, it's gorgeous. The photo emphasizes the green, but there is also a really lovely aqua-blue tone at the lighter end of the variegated spectrum.
The tag shown is for one skein, but there are actually two (one's in a ball in the photo). Since they're hand-dyed, they're ever-so-slightly different, but should work fine if alternated.
This last one is another gorgeous novelty yarn, 86 yards as the tag says.
It's just a shame that all this pretty stuff is sitting around going to waste here. If you're interested in any of these, just drop me a comment.
For BPAL it's easier for me to both know what I've got (almost always) and what it's worth, so this list is a bit easier to manage.

Tarot decants
These imps from the now-discontinued Tarot series have really nice labels--most in perfect condition, but a few not--done by the person who led the decant circle. One side of the label has the image of the card from the Rider-Waite deck, and the other a brief description of the traditional card meaning. Since they're so nice, I'm even tossing in the empty imps as part of the set.
The entire set (which, I hasten to point out, is not complete--it's missing The High Priestess and The Hanged Man) is up for $50, although if no one wants it I may end up selling off individual imps.
