Road Trip!
4 July 2010
Just got back from a great buying trip in the US. So many Flea Markets, Estate Sales, Yard Sales, Swap Meets, you name it. I was there over the past three days. Hopefully I will get some new pictures to show everyone what I found.
I can’t wait to get all these treasures priced and out to the store. The first thing I need to do is change the front window. I have some new ideas and very much enjoy changing the front window frequently. Shoppers comment on how pretty the window display always looks. Customers look forward to viewing new and pretty items. I have some lovely new vintage dresses, hats, hat pins, jewellery, linens, glass, china, and I have also come back with some pretty bits of furniture. I have a bit of work to do on those before I take them to the store. I found more old wooden sleds and also an old Schwinn Bike. This is going to sit outside the store with flowers in the basket and on the back rack. Hopefully it will add to the vintage look I am going for. A big thanks to my two Jenny’s for looking after things while I was on my jaunt. I truly feel my favourite part of this exciting new venture is the never ending hunt for wonderful treasures that I know people will enjoy looking at and hopefully buying.
