I’ve had my fun at the Snake Alley Art Fair and now I’m open today until at least 2pm!
Unfortunately, this is what my checkout counter currently looks like. 🤦🏻♀️ And if we’re being honest, the rest of the shop isn’t looking much better.
A Very Vintage Market prep is in full swing. My first priority is making sure the shop is absolutely jam-packed with treasures for the event… and mission accomplished. The only problem is that most of those treasures are still hiding in boxes.
Every week I convince myself I’ll catch up on pricing. Every week my pickers interpret that as a challenge.
You’d think after all these years I’d find a supplier that sends everything cleaned, repaired, researched, photographed, and tagged with a neat little pricing guide attached. Instead, they keep sending me dusty boxes of mystery objects, random whistles, brass candlesticks, tiny ceramic chickens, and things that make me say, “Well that’s neat, but what on earth is it?”
So if you stop in today and it looks like organized chaos, just know there’s a method to the madness. Somewhere under these piles are hundreds of fresh finds waiting to make it onto the sales floor.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I have a date with a pricing gun and approximately 27 boxes that aren’t going to unpack themselves.
