I spent today writing this huge listing up in bits and pieces while the kids were busy. I was able to preview it fine.
But it didn't want to go when I hit "continue" .... so I thought it was a problem with how I had the pictures coded in there.
So.. I went through and took out all the <img tags. nope... wrong thing to do now I dont even get the pics in the preview and haven't gone back to fix that.
What the heck am I doing wrong????? Too many pictures? Too many words? Too many <p>'s? Does this fabric just not want to leave my collection?
I give up for tonight!!
:help:
I'll C&P the listing that I'm trying to put up here..........
There are twenty-two different pieces of fabric in this lot. They range in size and fiber content. Most are either all cotton or at least a 50/50 blend. I have been holding on to some of these for about eight years now and cannot remember the exact content.
<p>
These pieces are perfect for many different Halloween crafts and decorations. I am trying to go through my fabric stash and weed out the stuff that I realistically will not use in the near future.
<p>
#1 is 9.5” x 11.5” unwashed, black background with skulls, skeletons, orange cats, jack o lanterns, ghosts, tombstones with bats, the words “eek!” “Booo!” “Scream!” “Happy Halloween” and orange and yellow squiggles.
<p>
#2 is 17” x 12.75” unwashed, black background with a random print of jack o lanterns, crescent moons, stars, owls, spiders, vampire faces, Frankenstein faces, frogs, cat heads, skulls, ghosts, full cats with arched backs, broken hearts, candy corn, and the word “Boo”
<p>
#3 is 14” x 9” unwashed, blue background with jack o lanterns, black bats and white cobwebs. There are two cuts in this piece in the middle of the fabric. There is a rectangle cut out of one of the long sides. The piece is measured to that point to get the 9” even though it is only a small part of it.
<p>
#4 is 13” x 13” unwashed, off white background, with the same print as #2: a random print of jack o lanterns, crescent moons, stars, owls, spiders, vampire faces, Frankenstein faces, frogs, cat heads, skulls, ghosts, full cats with arched backs, broken hearts, candy corn, and the word “Boo”
<p>
#5 is 15” x 13” unwashed, orange background with the same print as #’s 2 and 4: a random print of jack o lanterns, crescent moons, stars, owls, spiders, vampire faces, Frankenstein faces, frogs, cat heads, skulls, ghosts, full cats with arched backs, broken hearts, candy corn, and the word “Boo”
<p>
#6 is 13.5” x 15.5” unwashed orange and yellow background with black crescent moons and stars in a random print
<p>
#7 is 13.5 x 11.75 unwashed, orange and yellow background (coordinates with #6) random print of witches, bats, ghosts, a bubbling cauldron, crescent moons and stars. The words “Toil and Trouble” and “Bubble Bubble” are printed in black randomly scattered through the print.

<p>
<p>
#8 is 1 yard x 57” unwashed, large border print. Print has a train with a ghost driving, in the cars… a vampire, skeletons, witch, Frankenstein and a pumpkin headed scarecrow. Vultures, snakes, tombstones, orange cats, a coffin and a ‘thing’ under the bridge are featured below the train. Above the train is the black (highlighted in orange) outline of bare trees and a castle with some spooky eyes. In the sky there are ghosts, witches, vultures, bats and some green and white stars. The design is on there twice, the sky is in the middle (the fold of the 57” width).
<p>
#9 is 1 yard x 59” unwashed large border print. The main scene is on a blue background, a haunted house with the name “Spooky Hollow” above the front door. In front of the house there is a scarecrow, lots of jack o lanterns, a black cat with an arched back. A skeleton is reclining against tombstones underneath a bare tree with a spooky face and an owl in the branches. Along the selvage edges under the main print are jack o lanterns, skulls, witch hats, candy corn, and a trick or treat bag. In the sky above the house there are witches on brooms, ghosts and a full moon. The center of this border print has a black background with jack o lanterns, skulls, witch hats, trick or treat bags, candy corn, and white spider webs with green and orange spiders.

<p>
#12 is 13” x 14” unwashed. This is the same as #11; a satin velvet combination. Very pale gold satin with black velvet wavy lines creating various small squares and rectangles. The color is really hard for me to describe, it looks different when you hold it near other colors. It looks silvery next to the orange, but in day light by itself it has a light gold tone. The design is on both sides, but the back is not silky looking and is gray.

This lot of fabric weighs about five and a half pounds. <b>Shipping is free if you choose the BIN option. Otherwise shipping will be based on your zip code.</b>
<p>
This is years worth of fabric collecting in one lot. You could do so many different things with these pieces. They deserve a good home where they will be put to good use.
<p>
Please email me with any questions. I have three small boys who sometimes make getting things done efficiently a challenge.

I accept <b>FUNDED</b> PayPal only, cashiers checks or money orders. **If you insist on using a credit card to pay through PayPal I will have to add a handling fee to the shipping total because I will have to use someone else's account to accept the payment.** I don't like stupid fees just as much as you, so funded PP or the above listed snail mail payment options are the best choices.
