AS MOST OF YOU MIGHT KNOW, I DON'T USUALLY SELL TO THE PUBLIC, SO WHEN I DO HAVE A SALE FOR THE PUBLIC, YOU SHOULD BE HERE ON TIME THAT DAY, NOT THE DAY BEFORE, NOT THE WEEK BEFORE......WHENEVER I HAVE A SALE, THAT'S IT. SALES TO THE PUBLIC ARE USUALLY AN EVENT.... OPENING FOR THE YEAR: MARCH (WILL BE MY FIRST SALE),, TOWN SALES IN JUNE.....MAYBE IN JULY IF I HAVE ENOUGH PRODUCT & ONE IN OCT, OTHERWISE I SELL TO RETAILERS WHO LOAD UP THEIR TRUCKS, THAT IS THE REASON I HAVE TO REPLENISH ALL THE TIME.
I HAVE TO SEARCH,RE PURPOSE & PAINT, WHICH TAKES TIME, SINCE I HAVE VERY LITTLE GIFT MART ITEMS, MOST OF MY RE PURPOSING ARE ONE OF A KIND.ALSO IF YOU SEE SOMETHING & INQUIRE ABOUT IT, IT MAY BE UNDER A PIECE OF FURNITURE & I AM NOT UNLOADING A WHOLE BUILDING FOR ONE PIECE,(SORRY) SO YOU HAVE TO COME TO MY SALES. I HAVE BEEN DOING THIS FOR A VERY LONG TIME & I SEEM TO HAVE IT DOWN TO A SCIENCE. MY PRICES ARE VERY CHEAP.......THAT'S WHY I SELL IT BY THE TRUCKLOAD........MOST PEOPLE GET IT! I SPECIALIZE IN farm tables, dressers, chairs, benches, home decor, architecture,night stands,side tables, antiques, prims etc, cottage, french etc.
WHEN I AM OUT ON THE HUNT FOR JUNQUE & THERE'S SOMETHING I WANT, I BUY IT, IT DOESN'T TAKE ME 5 HOURS TO DECIDE, MY MOTTO: "IF YOU LIKE IT, BUY IT, YOU'LL ALWAYS FIND A SPOT FOR IT"
I PLAN A VERY BUSY 2018, I HOPE I CAN KEEP UP :) (SOMETHING IN THE WORKS).
I HAVE MY OWN LINE OF CHALK PAINT ("ITALIANPEASANT CHALK PAINT") & "BELLA CHIC" CLOTHESLINE & AM VERY BUSY WITH OTHER ENDEAVORS......SO RELAX ISN'T A WORD IN MY VOCABULARY.
I ALSO DO DESIGN CONSULTATIONS WHEN I HAVE THE TIME, BUT AM MOSTLY TRAVELLING FOR THE GOODS FAR & WIDE, SO I CAN HAVE A GREAT SELECTION FOR MY SALES.
KEEP AN EYE ON MY BLOG FOR DECORATING ARTICLES AS I USE TO HAVE A COLUMN IN 3 NEWS PUBLICATIONS & LOVE TO WRITE ALSO. I KNOW WE CAN'T DO IT ALL, BUT I SURE DO TRY TO BRING THE BEST TO MY "PEEPS" & I LOVE YOU ALL :). SO PLEASE CHECK MY FACEBOOK PAGE OFTEN FOR NEW FINDS & WHAT'S GOING ON.

SOME STORE OWNERS/DECORATORS, USE THE WORD "CURATE" TO DESCRIBE HOW THEY BUY;NOT ME, I DON'T CURATE LOL, IT'S HARD TO GUESS WHAT PEOPLE WILL LIKE.THOUGH THEY USUALLY LOVE IT ALL THAT I HAVE FOR SALE. I BUY WHAT I LIKE & LIKE WHAT I BUY, THAT WAY I DON'T FEEL STUCK WITH IT. I CAN ALWAYS USE IT IN MY HOME.
3 TIMES A YEAR I "FLUFF" UP MY HOME FOR SPECIAL SALES & BRING OUT THE GOOD STUFF THAT I DECORATE WITH......MY COLLECTIONS FROM YEARS OF GATHERING.
I ALSO TRY TO AVOID MASS PRODUCED ITEMS. MY FURNITURE IS USUALLY REINVENTED, PAINTED & DISTRESSED. I FEEL MY CUSTOMERS WANT ONE OF A KIND PIECES IN THEIR HOMES, SOMETHING DIFFERENT THAN THEIR FRIENDS HAVE.
