Ah, high hopes! Well, I had a great plan but I let my life take me a bit off course. Time to hunker down and get to work now because I still have time before the Gaithersburg sale. I'm looking at my 1500 items goal as a bit overambitious, but we'll see... The more I get tagged for Gaithersburg, the better chance I have of it selling this spring because I'm planning on consigning at all three of the spring sales. Afterall, once I have everything tagged, why not? It won't earn me any money if I just bring it home and put it all back up in the attic!
I definitely need to take advantage of today being a holiday but the babysitter is open -- BTW, did I mention in my last blog that I work full time? :-)
So, I'm almost done transferring items over from previous sales -- I have just one storage tub left! Then it is on to entering new items. I planned ahead for this though, and sorted things into spring/summer and fall/winter when I took them out of my daughters' closets and dressers so I am somewhat organized. LOL
My goals for this week are: transfer over the items in the last bin, enter the spring/summer things that came out of my daughters' closets over the last year, sign up for my volunteer hours (I definitely want to get in on the 8 hour volunteer presale), and prepare our peg puzzles for sale.
I've found that peg puzzles seem to sell really well at the sales and since my girls have outgrown them, it is time to pass them on! The best way to package them for sale is by wraping them in plastic wrap (Saran Wrap or the like) so they can be seen full assembled. Be sure to tape the edges of the wrap down so pieces can't fall out. People don't buy puzzles as quickly when the pieces are in a bag (probably because they don't want to take the time to figure out if all the pieces are there). I can sit one night and wrap puzzles while I watch TV :-)
Next week I'm on to books and the playroom so I really have to keep on task this week!
