122823 Thank You For The LOVE Ventura!

 

Thank you to all of you who have emailed, texted, called and come in to show your support.  It means the world to me and my amazing staff!  Ventura is the most special little city in the World!

It seems like the store will be missed and I am just wondering if there is anyone out there who would be interested in taking over my lease (a great rate has been negotiated) and buy out my fixtures.  I am hoping for a Miracle on Main Street. You just never know.

Also, I will need warehouse/storage space for my eBay inventory.  I am looking for about 600 square feet.  Thanks for any help!

There are not any new arrivals this week, but I will share a fun photo that Susan took of us yesterday.  My son’s girlfriend, Emma, and her mom Adrianne came to visit the store.  It is still a super fun environment and we are smiling through this process.  Please come in and see us!

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

122623 It Is With A Heavy Heart That I Write This Email…..

 

I am reaching out to you as a valued customer and consignor.

Almost six years ago, I moved to Ventura to be closer to my children and open up a consignment store.  It had been a lifelong dream for me and Lynn’s Consignments was born on March 1, 2018.

With your help, we filled up a 4,000 square foot space with beautiful and unique furniture.  I couldn’t have done it without you all.

The city welcomed us with open arms and for many of you, Lynn’s Consignments, became a weekly shopping destination.

As we all know, Covid hit in 2020 and disrupted all of our lives.  We managed to pull through and life returned to normal.  Sadly, after a bit of a boom, sales have leveled out to what seems to be a new “normal” for Lynn’s and many other retail establishments.  This new “normal” is not enough to sustain a store of this size and make it profitable.

With a heavy heart, I am announcing that I will be closing the store in the near future.

I am forever grateful to all of you who have consigned with me and to those of you who have shopped my store.

I also want to thank my incredible staff who have worked to bring you a unique and fun shopping experience.  I could not have done it without you.

My staff, many of my consignors and customers have become family to me and I will continue to cherish our friendships long after this chapter has closed.

This has been an incredibly difficult decision for me.  Here are the details of the closing process for my consignors.

1.)  If you have consigned a large furniture item and it has not sold, you will be contacted in order to arrange pick up, or per your instructions we will donate it to one of the following local charities: Habitat for Humanity or The Boys and Girls Club.

122123 20% Off Entire Store & New Arrivals!

 

The Holiday Sale Continues!   20% off both stores…furniture and clothing!  Come in and get your Lynn’s Fix this week.  Sale goes Tuesday 12/19 to Sunday 12/24.  See you soon!

Do you love this customer testing out our awesome rocker in the front window?  LOL!  Can you find him?  Where is Waldo?

We had our company Christmas party (very low key this year) and hosted by Sendia at her home this past Monday…It was so fun!  We talked about death, animals and played Left Right Center….Know it sounds crazy, but it was bonding and a great break for all of us.  A car alarm went off the entire time.  LOL.

Although, we sure missed Val, Peggy, Candy, Martha, Emily & Whale.

Then, my friend Chris Wade showed up at the store on Tuesday, to take me to lunch.  It was a nice distraction.

Now for some new arrivals…sorry not too many.  It was busy in the store with the sale!

Check out this darling table that Sandy and my mom painted with pure white and capability green. It’s priced at only $69.50   So cute!

This awesome bar top and 2 stool set just came in and is priced at $195.00!

And finally, one last cute little side table priced at $75.  Don’t forget about our 20% off sale!

And then, before I forget, it was Carlos’ Gotcha day a few days ago.  We adopted (not shopped) for him 4 years ago.  I love this little scrappy kitty so much.  But, I must tell you that ever since October when I have had so many random dogs staying in my house….he has been living outside.  It breaks my heart.

I try and bring him in every day and only feed him inside, but at this point he is even scared of Cha Cha.  I feel like I have a rescue kitty and am totally blaming myself.  If any of you have been through this and have some advice…I would love to hear it.  I want my kitty back who isn’t afraid of the Cha.  Ughh.

And then here is the “evil” Cha Cha….who really isn’t that evil, but is acting like a typical dog.  I just want everything back to normal.  In more ways than one!

Thanks for shopping LOCAL!  Cha Cha, Indy, Carlos & Houston……
