Happy Thursday! We had some stuff on order that is still coming in…and at 40% off you can pick up some great bargains!

Also, my Spring preorder (from this past December) of Baggu will arrive in the next few days and because it is all new and in demand, only 10% off on Baggu.

Just a reminder, all store discounts are only good for IN STORE shopping.

Jo Dallas was here for a week and was such a big help! She left this past Sunday when her husband Jon picked her up to drive to Scottsdale where they will be spending a month in the heat….sound pretty good right about now! Right? I am soooooo over the rain.

A few pics of random things from this past week… Cha Cha meeting Jo & Jon’s dog Rosie for the first time, Carlos helping me list on eBay and the rain on my back patio…..ugh!

This sofa and love seat just arrived and they both fold down into beds.  Sweet!

One last fun photo of Sandy and me with one of our favorite people….Pat Clark. She and her husband Bill, were some of my first consignors and they always brought me fresh oranges. I am honored to consider them my friends. Unfortunately, Bill passed away last year and he is greatly missed.

Feeling grateful for all the support from our incredible community as we embark on this new chapter! Thank you for your patience and understanding during these challenging times. ❤️

Some of my awesome crew…from left to right Sendia, Robin, Pamela Cole, Me, Martha, Indiana, Candy, Houston, Emma, Leslie Arntzen, Kathy Rutan, Jo Dallas, Val, Mor Mor, Peggy and Mary. OK, maybe that wasn’t exactly left to right, but you get the idea! See you soon!

Oh Crap…Forgot Cha Cha & Grandpa!

Thanks for reading my ezines!  I appreciate it….as always!

eBay with Heart, Design with Heart & Dress with Heart………Lynn

BTW, we now have a blog on the website where you can read all of our past newsletter
Link to Blog.

P.S.  If you have a friend who wants to sign up for this newsletter.

The store is 40% off starting today!  Stop in soon and pick up some bargains.  We will be open until February 25th, so there is still time to stop in and see us!

Thank you to all of our wonderful customers and consignors for making this such a great experience.  Me and my incredible staff are going to miss y’all very much!

The only items that are not on sale are the fixtures….which have no additional discount and Baggu is 10% off.  We just got in our Spring Pre-order of Baggu, so please come in and shop with us.  This is just a screen grab from Baggu’s website, but we will have all or our new product up on the website by Thursday’s email…..Fun!

And, good things are coming.  Moving the business back online is going to allow me more time to focus on new ideas and businesses.  We plan to host some popups in the new warehouse with themed vignettes.  Can’t wait to share more of our exciting new ideas with you!

Here is a photo of the store back in 2018 when we first took over the space….crazy!  From left to right, That is Houston’s great friend Riley, Houston, Indiana, and Indy’s great friend Carmen.

We have made the decision to be open until February 25th…a Sunday.  There will be a party to celebrate on March 1st.  More details to come.

When my grandmother passed away and we decided to close her store after 50 years, we had no idea how long the liquidation would take.  It ended up taking 2 full years and we closed on the 2nd anniversary of her passing, August 2nd, 2002.

We will close our doors on February 25th, but will still have the store until March 1st to move everything out and then celebrate the store with a party on Friday, March 1st starting at 1 pm.  It will be a potluck and BYOB.

For those of you who don’t remember, I opened the store on Thursday, March 1st, 2018 on what should have been my dad’s 84th birthday.  So…I will lock the doors for good on Friday, March 1st, 2024 on what should have been my dad’s 90th birthday.

My grandmother always told me that the antiques/collectibles business was cyclical.  An example, maybe oak and Asian antiques aren’t popular today, but they will be again.  I also believe that retail is cyclical, and right now is not the best time for brick & mortars.  Hopefully, it will swing back that way in the near future, but for now (just like we did 22 years ago), my business is moving back online.

The sale continues!  40% off until Sunday, February 11th.  Entire store is on sale Excluding Baggu (on sale at 10% off) and EXCLUDING Fixtures. NO 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.

There is one 71/2′ Christmas tree left at $95.

I will be pricing more fixtures as we go.  For example, the Pier One Tall Rolling Shelf Units are $175 and the shorter ones are $125.

In happy news, It has been a crazy week with Jo Dallas in town to help.  On Saturday night, Sandy, Jo and I went to Prime to celebrate new beginnings.  Love these girls!  Check out the crazy random restaurant patrons in the background trying to be a part of our picture.  LOL.

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

3.) For those of you with items that sold over a year ago, your consignor credit has been converted to store credit as per the contract.

The clothing was moved to the front store on January 31st….
