Movin' On Up: Finally, A Large Antique Mall Space, First Incarnation

I moved into a larger space at Southern Crossing Antique Mall this week. I still have my original booth this month but I'll give it up if it's too much to maintain both at once. (Likely!) This first incarnation was merely to fill it up, I'll be working diligently behind the scenes to give it a proper transformation.

In the future I'll be focusing on upcycled furniture, larger housewares, and original pieces for the antique mall spaces. Details on that will be shared next week, but in general, it'll help me to keep my online retail and local retail spaces separate while maximizing on the benefits each venue has to offer.

I've moved in and out of four different antique mall spaces between three different stores over the past two years. I've tagged hundreds of pieces of merchandise and moved dozens of heavy boxes of vintage merch around this city for this profession. It's hard work, but the flexibility and creativity keeps me coming back to it and working hard on improving and evolving every day!

What keeps you coming back to and/or selling vintage? While pricing items yesterday I overheard shoppers saying "looking at old stuff" just makes them "happy." It's rewarding to contribute to the shopping merriment.
