011624 The Store Is Now 25% Off….See You Soon!

 

The store is clearing out and I am so grateful for all the support!  Thank you to all of our wonderful customers, consignors and my amazing staff….It has actually been a fun experience.  Did I say that out loud?

Check out our back parking lot this past Saturday….OMG!  Thank you for the love Ventura!

And, good things are coming.  Moving the business back online is going to allow me more time to focus on new ideas and businesses.  Sandy, Val and I have been brainstorming ways to keep the Lynn’s Consignment store shopping experience alive for you without having to own a brick & mortar.

Watch for details in the next few weeks.  Very exciting!  And so true, that when one door closes, another one opens.

Here is another great quote that popped up on my Instagram.  Love this…..

And it cracks me up that it is a quote by Zayn Malik…didn’t he have a baby with Gigi Hadid?  LOL

As we clean out storage, there are still new items being brought into the store.  Watch for this week’s ezine on Thursday with some pictures of new arrivals.

Here is an example of a super neat console that Sandy put together last week.  Priced at $795 before the 25% discount.

We have made the decision to be open until February 11th.  Doors will shut that Sunday afternoon to the public.  Consignors will still be able to get their items out of the store Tuesday through Thursday and then Thursday evening, February 15th will be the party!

The sale continues!  25% off until Sunday, January 21st.  Entire store is on sale EXCLUDING FixturesNO EXTRA discount on Fixtures:

The Promen Wooden Hangers in the Clothing Store are all for sale at $2 each or you can get 10 for $15.

9′ Christmas Trees are $195each
7′ Christmas Tree is $95 each

I will be pricing more fixtures as we go.
Don’t miss out!  You don’t want what happened to Corner Cabinet Karen to happen to you…….

For those of you who don’t know the Corner Cabinet Karen saga, one of our good customers came back to buy a corner cabinet on the day of it’s markdown and someone else had just bought it!

In more happy news, Val showed up on Saturday to hang out with us in the store.  Then the three of us went to Prime for a cocktail.  I love these gals!

Once again, here are the details of the closing process for my consignors.

011124 Believe It Or Not….There Are A Few New Arrivals!

 

The store had been crazy busy and we are having a blast…even though we are sad to be going, it has been a special time.  So wonderful to see so many of you coming out to support us and we are so grateful.  We LOVE you Ventura!

I am still looking for warehouse/storage space for my eBay inventory.  At this point I would even consider a barn, pole building or garage.  If you can believe it, I can get all of my eBay inventory into a 15′ by 20′ space.  Shout out if you have something that may work.

I will be writing a full length ezine next week to let you know what else is going on in my crazy, but fun life.   In the meanwhile, don’t forget that the store is still 20% off!

As the liquidation progresses, I think that I may stretch it out until February 7th.  I will keep you posted.

Entire store is on sale EXCLUDING FixturesNO EXTRA discount on Fixtures:

The Promen Wooden Hangers in the Clothing Store are all for sale at $2 each or you can get 10 for $15.

I just marked down the Christmas Trees……

9′ Christmas Trees are now $195each
7′ Christmas Trees are now $95 each

I will be pricing more fixtures as we go.

When I posted about the store closing, I loved this repost from Midtown Ventura….applauding us for still smiling…

My mom recently shared this Julia Child’s quote with me,

“Drama is very important in life:  You have to come on with a bang.  You never want to go out with a whimper.  Everything can have drama if it’s done right.  Even a pancake!”  LOL

So, we will go out with a Bang (just like we came in) and lots of smiles!  Planning a going away potluck…bring your own drink party!  Stay tuned!

Don’t forget that all Annie Sloan, Iron Orchid Design and Re-design with Prima is all 20% off. Stock up now for your next projects.

Love sharing this photo of my people in front of the diy section. From left to right, me, Sendia, Val, Sandy, Candy, Cindy and Robin.

And, yes there are some new arrivals to share because I had furniture back in the garage that had never seen the light of day that needed to be put together.  Thank you Sandy!

This 16 cube shelving unit was a b*tch to put together.  OMG…what a nightmare 🙂  Priced at $225 before your 20% discount.

And then this awesome Oakman Fabric Slat Back Arm chair.  We do have two in stock.  $295 each originally and now down to $236 before your extra 20% discount.

Oh, before I forget, my eBay business has been off the charts!  And I am so grateful.  Brick & Mortar retail is struggling, but online is still working.  So blessed to have shipped 45 items on Tuesday.  I think it was a record shipping day.  Cindy is exhausted, but the more I can sell before we move the eBay inventory…the better.  Thank you Cindy!

Also, many of you have been asking if you can help and the answer is yes!  When it is time to move the eBay inventory, I could use as many hands as I can get.  Just let me know if you are interested.  It will be sometime in the next few weeks.  Thanks!

O.K., some more new arrivals.  This Hilltop Console Table with drawers is only $95 and we have two in stock.  This price is before the sale discount.

This beachy Ventura vibe piece of art is priced at $149.50.

We have two of these ladderback chairs in stock.  Priced at $95.00 each.

We have a few of these 1/2 Mannequins left at $10 each.  No extra discount.

Once again, here are the details of the closing process for my consignors.

010924 The 20% Off Sale Continues…& A New Ezine Next Week!

 

Thank you Ventura!  For what could have been a hard time for me and my amazing staff…y’all have been so wonderful…kind, supportive and caring!  And thank you for your patience as we navigate through this.

I knew that this little town was special…so a HUGE thank you to all of our customers and consignors.

I am still looking for warehouse/storage space for my eBay inventory.  At this point I would even consider a warehouse, pole building or garage.  If you can believe it, I can get all of my eBay inventory into a 15′ by 20′ space.  Shout out if you have something that may work.

I will be writing a full length ezine next week to let you know what else is going on in my crazy, but fun life.  I have to tell you that one of my customers, Liz, who also works out at Fit Buddha gave me the greatest gift this past week.  I don’t know her that well so it really hit home.

I walked into Fit Buddha on Sunday morning and she said “Congratulations” and I said “why?”  As y’all know I am sad to be closing the store and she said, “This is a new beginning for you and such a relief to have made such a big decision…onward and upwards”….or something to that affect and it made me smile.  She also shared that last year she closed her business and it was the most amazing and freeing decision she had ever made.

And so many more of you have also been saying “one door closes and another opens”…so thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support and optimism.

Just so you know, we plan to be open until the end of January.  Tentative last day will be January 31st.  However, we may stretch it out until February 11th.  I will keep you posted.

The sale continues!  20% off until Sunday, January 14th.  Entire store is on sale EXCLUDING FixturesNO EXTRA discount on Fixtures:

The Promen Wooden Hangers in the Clothing Store are all for sale at $2 each or you can get 10 for $15.

In super happy news, Val showed up on Saturday to surprise Sandy and me.  What a great gift!  Her husband Ron has been sick, so please pray for both of them.  We have missed her soooooo much!

When I posted about the store closing, I loved this repost from Midtown Ventura….applauding us for still smiling…we will go out with a Bang (just like we came in) and lots of smiles!  Planning a going away potluck…bring your own booze…party!  Stay tuned!
