Well, it involved a lot of evenings sitting in front of the TV with sacks of glitter and a tiny half teaspoon, but all the glitter is packed and labelled. The hardest part was trying to come up with names for everything, I started by calling the red one 'Ruby Red Slipper' with a nod to The Wizard of Oz, and therefore felt obliged to give all the others the most interesting names I could think of, while at the same time referencing their actual colour. The other hardship (sort of) was having my living room slowly turning into a fairy cave as glitter found its way all over my couch, clothes and the rest of the house.
Now they're all listed on eBay, though I think Etsy and Folksy are probably a better location for them.
Speaking of Folksy, I've had a recommendation from a lady who's compiled a list of online craft shops on her blog, to save shoppers the tedium of spending hours searching through google for comparisons:
I've checked out her Folksy shop, and there are some beautiful things on there, she does lovely things with felt:

My next challenge, sourcing some of those gilding flakes to sell.
