A taste of Summer brings an end of an era in more ways than one….

The warm days have arrived even if they take a short break in between the cool ones. Super exciting! That said, I will continue to try to make appearances at the showroom for walk ins. Please reach out if you want to come by, I will try to schedule my stops there around your visits. My days of wide availability will stop as soon as I find full time employment and although I recently bought some new items, my overall feeling right now is to scale back and move on. The locals are not supportive and I am just working hard to pay rent. Not my idea of a dream job. So grab what you love while I got it as my choices will dwindle.

THIS WEEK CHAIRISH ON SALE……but this is DEPRESSING:

My shop will be on sale starting Sunday at midnight and I think runs through Friday. 15% off. If you need shipping, this is the place to buy. Instant quotes.

Chairish has announced that effective early April, they will be raising their commission to 30% (from 22%) unless you commit to $150 a month to upgrade your seller status. Not happening. I will be raising all my prices after this week and sadly, I need to raise them on Etsy as well because I often have to send Etsy shoppers to Chairish and I will not price match myself in a market that is charging more. If you are east of the Mississippi, I got a guy I can quote. Jackie may be back in May for west coast deliveries but I have not checked her schedule yet. I have other shippers I have used through Chairish and I do save info so I can ask around as well.

I have another interview this week so fingers crossed I land it and can finally help out financially around here. I need a new car, mine is 8 and acting funny but I still need to keep her around while I got bigger inventory.

I am down to 2 large case pieces…..the Canadian teak gentlemen’s chest which is a few inches too big for my bedroom or I’d be moving it up there……when you start to realize that you will be done buying like you have and have still have really nice pieces in stock, the intrinsic value of hoarding it for yourself is better than my giveaway price in the open market. 😂. But alas, it’s not mean’t to be for me. The other large piece is the German Shrunk, a grand European atomic piece with lots of storage and it is in the showroom so will need to move along before I move out. If anyone is local and can pick up and pay cash, I am willing to listen to our offer. If you are in the Philly region, I could assist with transport. Each piece fits in my van but I made several trips to get her into the showroom. Think about it and let me know!

I just added a fun retro mini bar set with 3 stools to the showroom. It’ll be a great piece for summer gatherings! Add her to your rec room or man cave! Specs on my website for buy it now or come see it in person by appointment.

If you are not looking for furniture, I have lots of hand sewn pillows, fabrics and more. Things have been trickling out but not fast enough. I appreciate all of your support and I hope you continue to think of me as I downsize and try to get the rest of my inventory out. I have listed some of my collection which includes a few early Herman Miller pieces and a really nice Peabody fiberglass wing back chair. If you’d like to add any of these icons to your collection, I am here for you. I also have many restored things needing special homes as I have invested into making them gorgeous! My booth is pumped with collectibles, weird and some clearance or lower end furniture items. I have a super cute walnut dining set for 2 looking for a first apartment or young stylish couple. Fresh fabric on the seats! Priced to move at $150.

One last thing. I am Hail Mary working Yelp with some free money advertising they gave me. Maybe I am failing because no one knows I am here? If you can please find me on Yelp and leave your review of my services, that may help. I currently have 0 reviews! Thank you for your help!

Have a great spring!
