I am motivated to down size my inventory as I get ready to work some full time contract work. Plus I could use some Christmas money as I don’t see me starting much before January at this point. I am slowly moving more inventory over to my SALE. I have a CLEARANCE category on Etsy and that is where you will find the markdowns. 20% off and many have free shipping. I have started featuring items in my social media and honestly, I have some cool stuff, My long term goal at this point is to downsize and get out of Smalls. I have not been to a thrift store in months and have not bought any Smalls at estate sales. I have backstock to add and will be taking things out to my space in the mall as things leave out there. If I have something not on sale and you want to negotiate, that is fine. I like bulk buys so if you want a few things that will get you a better price. I am planning to continue on with furniture and restorations but end the franticness of trying to ‘make a living’. I can’t physically process and sell what I need to do that I can make a respectable wage. Teenagers are crazy expensive. Every time I turn around my kids need hundred of dollars for this field trip or that band trip and guess what, I am only a few years away from 2 kids in college and I am starting to panic. This can not sustain our family and I need to get a real, paying job. And bonus if I can stockpile some money in a retirement fund while I am at it. So here I am, making a plan. Will see how this full time temp job goes cause if we all can handle it (including my mom who has to step up to be kid Uber after school), I may start my quest earlier than the year and a half I have given myself (kid #1 will be driving and then I am free). I love what I do. I am hoping and praying I can get a job related to what I am doing…..in some capacity. I have created a wonderful thing here and this year, I will probably beat $40,000 in sales, my biggest year yet. But it’s time to get off the hamster wheel and work for someone who values my time and compensates me for it. Self employment is not for the faint of heart or for those of us who need a steady income. It’s a constant juggling act. The good thing here is I can still operate in whatever capacity I choose! I choose to specialized in furniture restoration and will continue. I won’t care if a piece I pumped hundreds of dollars into is still waiting for a forever home in two years if I have a paycheck paying my bills. Things have changed. Etsy is far from reliable. Chairish is still growing but not as I have hoped. eBay has no respect for sellers. Making it alone is just impossible and selling local for me is not profitable. So here’s some things to tempt you. Come buy your gifts with me. I appreciate you! Check back often for updates as I may add more items as the month rolls on! Thanks as always for your support and for helping me be the best I can be! You guys trusting me to restore, source, ship and deliver your items have given me a wealth of experiences and expertise. 💗 Malissa

I am featuring sale items daily on my social media! Stay tuned for more as the days go on!

Moving forward!

I am so excited to announce that I have just been approved for Retail/Trade pricing at Joybird and will be able to acquiring their fabulous upholstery fabrics for my projects at a discounted rate.  This is always exciting for someone in my position as obtaining quality materials is never cheap and this will help me keep my prices as low as possible!  I look forward to moving forward with the Hey Wake chairs!!! 

In other news, I am SERIOUSLY considering going into a small booth space.  Frankly, my furniture is taking over my home and we'd like to do some renovations in our unfinished lower level which will not get done if I store my stuff there.  SO, I am looking and researching local haunts for the perfect spot in terms of rent, fees and hopefully no required work time, not that I don't want to help, but with a job of my own and 2 very active kiddos, my time is very limited and I would rather spend my free hours working on my projects!  I will keep you all updated as I start committing and moving forward with that! 

Thanks for your support and if there is anything I can do for you, please reach out!  I am still adding things to the shop for the holiday shopping season so check in often when you are getting ready for the holidays!  Lots of nice furnishings available including a beautiful set of Stakmore folding dining chairs.  They are so sturdy, you could use them all the time or store away until family comes to visit.  You will love that they are so beautiful and comfy for a temporary seating option!  Plus, the former owner had no children and they are MINT like they just were bought!  Stakmore was made in NY and the folding mechanism used in their folding chairs were patented in the 20's or 30's!  Pretty cool!  Stakmore made it until about 2012 were they were bought by another company.  Also notice the Cosco 'kids table' as I like to call it!  Folding card table with 4 matching gate leg folding chairs.  A HOLIDAY GO TO!  Snap these up now in time for Thanksgiving and Christmas!  I will deliver if you are in the eastern PA area or message me to quote your shipping via Greyhound.  I will pack for you and get them to the bus no extra charge, you pay only exact shipping costs.  xoMalissa
