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.

Consignor Instructions
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.
2.) If you have smaller items or wall art, please just come in to pick up your items no later than January 7, 2024.  My staff will do their best to assist you in finding your items.
3.)  If your small items have not been sold or picked up by January 7, 2024 they will be liquidated at a discounted price.
4.)  If you have consigned clothing and it is still within the 120 day consignment period, you may pick up those items until January 7, 2024.  Once again, my staff will do their best to help you locate your items.
5.) Clothing items not stamped DND that have expired will be donated or liquidated at a discounted price.

6.) 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.

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……
