This evening I listed an item at eBay (a "lot" of pretty gold chains) for my friend. Testing the waters for what are basically left-over estate items. Pretty, but he doesn't have anyone to give this women's jewelry. The gold merchants looked at it carefully before passing it over when he took some good over to the gold exchange a while back. The books I listed a couple of days ago have barely been looked at the but chains already have one watcher. I dug around in my fabric stash and found a rich red piece of cloth to use behind a close scan of the pieces to give it a richer feel. Lots of people list things, but if you don't make them look good and put up photos so people can see detail people are less likely to give it a second look (I thought one was 10K gold plate but in my photo I saw that it was 14K so I revised it to correct it.)

In the yard, I went out near dark with my lopper and cut down three of the huge sunflowers that have dried up and toppled over during the summer. Only one remains - and two of the stems were so large that I couldn't cut them with the pruning tool, so I'll wait till it's light and chop them down. (Yes, these sunflowers are the size of small trees.)

Another early night, I think.
