I've finally decided to do it....I've rented a small space at an antique mall. This is something that I've been wanting to do for a while now...and am very excited to start this new venture. Mr.Plains and I love re-finishing furniture, and have accumulated quite a bit, and now we'll have an outlet for it all.I've been busy putting price tags on everything and trying to think of ways to make our spot an inspiring one. I love trying to find exciting new ways to display items...being this will be my first time setting up displays, it'll be challenging...but I'm up for it. We'll officially be moving into our space on October 11th...but we have some painting and prepping to do first...and being a 40 mile trip one-way...I hope I don't forget any supplies.
Once it's all ready, I'll be sure to take some photos to share with you.
Happy Fall Y'all....Andrea
P.S. By the way....just like our "coop manager" ordered....all the posts are painted....next he says we'll have to paint the goat houses....what???

Andrea,
ReplyDeleteBest of luck on your new venture! I once had a space in a similar type shop and it was a blast, lots of work but fun. My advise is visit your space and change it up as often as you can, I swear everytime I moved something it sold. I can't wait to see what you do!
Best wishes,
Tammy
