Been busy buying clothing for the store. Met a new person to consign in the store. Great vintage stuff!
Looking around ebay, etsy and craigslist for vintage mannequins. I am so hooked! Almost bought 4 the other day one was already sold (my favorite), 2 were badly damaged and the 4th had some damage. I opted to buy just the 4th mannequin. The guy wanted $385 and would not come down asking me to understand he's a small business and needs to survive. "Hello!" I'm a small business and on a tight budget (I went up to $250 cash). So I drove 1 hour to his place for nothing. He wasn't even there when I arrived and he knew I was on my way because I called him. In addition we were to discuss a business proposition between his and my store. Instead I spoke to his wife who then put me on the phone to try and negotiate a price and told me to leave a business card. He just blew me off. Oh well there's always next time.
The photos in this blog are taken inside my store. This is one of Time Zone Vintage mannequins; a vintage Rootstein ~redone (doesn't she look a little like Alicia Keyes? just sayin..)
That's my latest gossip. Hope everyone has a great Valentines Day!
Cheers!
