30 yesterday morning and this morning, gray, cloud-covered. It is supposed to get nice today; we'll see.
Today is hog-butchering day. My part, thankfully, is to just package it all up, season the sausage, and get it in the freezer. So while the guys are hard at work this morning, I have some quiet time.
Yesterday was booth day. We went to our Marietta booth, where we have only been re-stocking once a month during the pandemic. It's 70 miles away and in another state so seems better to limit the trips. We did take a good bit of new things, and pulled out the retro dinette we had there. It will go into our Ravenswood location, where furniture sells better.
Here's a few photos of the changes we made.
This space in front was where the dinette set was. A lot of small items can fit into the space that a table and chairs takes up.
That's the tour. A lot of changes--now I just hope sales will get a boost. They've been extremely slow for the start of the year. Fingers crossed.
I enjoyed looking through those photos. I'm always attracted to certain things - crocks, green glass, even the rolling pins. I hope you do well! -Jenn
ReplyDeleteThe same things attract me, Jenn. Any antique glass, really. But homey things like mixing bowls, crocks, etc too.
DeleteLoved seeing all round your booth Sue - always inspiring.

The same thing when I look at your photos, Joy. Such good ideas.
DeleteI love looking through these items, some of them remind me of the things my grandmother used to have. Good luck with reducing your stock.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Bill. I didn't really have grandma's houses to remember, but I did have elderly neighbors, and coveted their kitchens.
DeleteIn the next to the last and the last photo, is that one piece of furniture or is there a table in front of a dresser?
ReplyDeleteAnd I, too, always enjoy your booth tours!
That's one piece, Nance--I guess it's a dressing table? Quite old, and although it would sell faster I don't want to paint it. So hoping someone else will love it too.
