TONS of little vintage price tags... NUMBERS! You knew I had a bunch!
So I've been thinking for some time now...
What if I added a new section to my store where I listed the things that really have no other category.
And things that maybe even I bought years ago while antiquing that I'm ready to part with...
hmmm.....
A few Eiffel tower mini-French bowls (maybe 4), a gorgeous wall cone made from vintage barn tin (just 1)
There are things like these -- we used to carry them and then sold out -- at least we THOUGHT we did...until years later we "unearth" one hidden behind newer inventory stashes... (HOW does this happen, by the way...?)
A beautiful key holder in the vintage French agriculture award style...
I might have about 2 of these beauties.
Things that are gorgeous! But need a "home" to be gorgeous IN...
Great canvas pictures! I have just 1 of each of them; the two small-ish, thick squares were just made to go together!
So what do you think??
Would it be a good idea? And who knows how long I'd keep the area on the site. As long as I have "onesies" to sell, I guess!
It's hard to try and sell just ONE of something online (unless you're ebay) because I could get multiple orders for something that I have just ONE of, all while I'm away filling my cup of coffee...
I guess I'd just have to let the other buyers know immediately and go from there. And maybe that wouldn't even happen...
Anyway, there are ALOT more ONE-ONLY goodies where these things came from and I am kind of thinking I'll give it a shot.
Who knows what I'll turn up when I really start seriously looking behind and under things! I'm always so amazed at what I find on my store shelves when I go to organize to make room for more things coming in...
With the new Jeanne d'Arc Living shipment almost here, I am going to be doing JUST THAT! Making room!
So now I just need a clever little name to call my new area of the store!
Ideas?
I think that sounds like a wonderful idea...as what to call it...I'll have to think about it and get back to you :o)
ReplyDeleteI think it is a fantastic idea! I know I would love it. How about Potpourri? A little of this, a little of that!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea!
ReplyDelete'Le Brocante Beaute', of course! ;0)
ReplyDeleteGreat idea, Ruth.....
I'm not good at that, but I sure would like to get some of those numbers...no matter in what category you decide to list them!

Ruth, I think it's a great idea. That's what I do on my website. It's all one-of-a-kind, which makes each piece very special.
ReplyDeleteIf it's vintage items, I would call it "vintage" or "one-of-a-kind." I'm sure there are better names...I'll try to think of more. Great idea though!
is "Miscellany" too boring? I always like the way it looks versus miscellaneous.
ReplyDeleteHow about
ReplyDelete"Last One"
Then everyone will think they are getting the last big super score....

ReplyDeleteWhat about "Brocante"...you never know what beauty you will unearth at a French Brocante.
ReplyDeleteNess xx
Looking forward to seeing what hidden treasures you will find! How about calling the section bric-a-brac? It seems to fit.
ReplyDeleteOh, and by the way, I love my magazine!!!
Have a great day!
How about: going, going, gone!
ReplyDeleteHi Ruth!
ReplyDeleteHow about "last chance"....maybe in French?? I think it is a great idea! Love those numbers! Are they listed?
Have a great night!
