I have only been on this new adventure of selling vintage and re-purposed items at one of our local antique stores at Old Town Village Antiques & Uniques since February. I had always wanted to have a booth for many years, but circumstances just didn't allow it. Maybe I just was not brave enough either. To be honest, I think the good Lord timing was the perfect time.
I will be 50 soon and I would like to think that I am wiser and more mature, The kids are all grown and I think the good Lord is telling me that now it is my time to start a new fun adventure that I will enjoy. I have always been one to take care of everyone else. Maybe it is now " My Time".
My husband also enjoys the hunt and is frankly better at the price negotiating. I thought I was good... he is better! Thanks honey! He is older and will retire several years before I will, so this will be a great way for us to do something together in the near future. We want to travel, so what better way to do so than hunting down new finds, meeting new people as we see parts of the U.S..
I am in the process of registering my business name, applying for my state tax number and researching how I would like to sell my items online. I will be starting with small items like hand painted chairs, side tables and desk later moving to much larger items. This will allow me to build a stock of larger items to sell in the future.
I know that it is important to also get the business name out there to draw people to my products. I have my facebook page and am now venturing into writing this blog.
