my week ahead - DEALING WITH jons auction..he went to a good one yesterday and got 2 box trucks full.... it was a camp selling out...i think we got about 70 chairs, 10 huge tables, lab equipment, cute little metal boxes with birdhouse shape....tampon receptacles....lol... he didnt know... 5 pianos, 20 little oak kids chairs, and 27 old hickory couches and chairs....he brought 2 truckloads home...and will get the rest monday...jon gets all the fun...i had to stay at the store and work...i used to go every saturday....
- CHRISTMAS ...... OPENHOUSE.. THE WHOLE STORE WILL BE TRANSFORMED FOR OUR CHRISTMAS OPENHOUSE IN ABOUT 4 WEEKS........INCLUDING PLANNING FOR :::::christmas gift bags ...THE TREES...... CHRISTMAS SCHEDULING, CHRISTMAS LAYOUT, CHRISTMAS ADVERTIZING...RIGHT NOWITS ALL PACKED AWAY....
- .FLUFF UP THE STORE...we can hardly get thru the antique primitive room...
- wreath project...carol is making the neatest christmas ball wreaths...i think they will be good sellers...
- etsy plans...want to present it with more emphasis on steampunk....ITS GOING PRETTY WELL AND WE HAVE LOTS MORE TO PUT ON http://www.gypsymarket.etsy.com/ weve decided not to go for another website for selling...
- where to go with junk art....way too many ideas in this world....but i dont even have a good place to sell....i think its a huge trend and getting bigger and bigger on the national scene.
... - THE LOGISTICS.... where to put 10 8 ft tables...just the physical part of jons sale seems pretty impossible...we are packed right now before we unload all the trucks....
- final christmas orders
- necklace project...ruth can solder!!!! i just bought a big collection of old matchbooks....with great vintage art....
- upgrade my computer skills and try and use the web better...im loving facebook but have no idea where its place will be...we do have a fan page....i m on a great business forum with such good guys who are so generous talking about blogs and all things web related....im trying to learn from them......http://www.small-business-forum.net/
thats about it...once in a while i get a negative thought is we are too big for our location.... we have too much stuff , too many things going on....but like dh says it is what it is....we arent moving....somehow we just have to get more people to come here...
whenever i think we might have too much stuff , or too much going on, it passes quickly... therE is always room for more... if its interesting...
our business has been built on .if its a good price go for it..if we can sell it.....thats why jon bought 5 pianos...at least he passed on 40 boxes of books for 1$ each....if a good primitive buyer comes thru boy will i have some tables to sell....the bad part is our habits formed when we had tons of wholesale buyers who could use a truckload if it was priced right...oh well!
like mae west sayS
TOO MUCH OF A GOOD THiNG CAN BE WONDERFUL....

NEVER!!!! Your weekend sounds like mine...lots of plans, not close to enough time. I'm still playing catchup and trying to prepare for the rest of this years selling period. So much to do, and always fun. Sea Witch
last few days our group held a similar discussion about this topic and you point out something we have not covered yet, appreciate that.
