Well, hopefully this year will be better for everyone. A friend of mine says it's the Year of the Dragon; full of health, wealth and the roaring joy of living! I sure hope so and we are working hard to make it prosperous!
We are still selling out of our space at the East Broad Antiques in Quakertown and December was a learning experience. We made our rent and some profit, but experienced some loss in the manner of shoplifting. It's rough. Nearly $40 of merchandise lifted!
Currently, we are in the process of seeking out a curio cabinet, but it has to be quite specific to our space...no more than about 14 inches deep, 25 inches wide and squared off, not angled sides. The cabinets have to be locked and alarmed.
So, this has been a challenge to find one that's reasonably priced within these parameters.I have faith we'll find something soon, but keeping my fingers crossed that we don't lose anymore items from the space.
With the new year, we are committed to more posts here about our searches for vintage treasures and if there's something you're looking for, interested in and want to know more, just ask us and we'll see what we can do to get what you need!
You may have to be creative and marry something together that has locking glass doors on top and shelf space below. Always look with fresh eyes and see the space, not just the intended purposes of a piece.
ReplyDeleteThe shoplifting aspect of reselling is something that I worry about.
