Day After Moving Out of Antique Store: Part 2

Continuation of Part 1--Sorta!! ( I didn't want to make that post too long!!) My next adventure the Saturday after moving out of the antique store was finding out about a brand new store that opened in our little town. It is a store run by a couple. The husband is handling sporting goods, firearms, fishing supplies, hunting equipment and clothing for above. The wife is handling her side as a little boutique. She has clothing, and "girly" things. She has also opened up her store to a few vendors. I actually lucked up on this one. Remember the lost cat that found its way to my house a month or so ago? The cat's owner is a cousin to this store owner! I found out about it on her Facebook page. She was sharing post about the store opening. I asked her who owned the store and she replied, "My cousin!!" She sent me her name and after my stop at the drug store I popped in at the new store. I met the owner and we talked. She thought my Farmasi line would be great for the boutique side of the store. We talked about me getting set up and I told her that I would like to get moved in her store during the coming week. That wasn't possible until Friday due to being sick all weekend, going to Jackson with my husband on Tuesday and working at the boutique in Louisiana on Wednesday. Then Thursday, she had to run some errands, so we decided on Friday as move in day. I worked until the wee hours of the morning tagging products to have everything ready. I got enough to not make my shelf look too sparse. I will be adding more next week. I don't have near as much space as I do in the boutique in Louisiana, but I don't have a long drive either. The rent is also much better. Photo Credit: My own

That sounds great! It’s like all the bad stuff went out with those two ladies, and only good things are coming around right now.

Next mission is to find a new place for the antiques. I had to put that on back burner for now.

@LadyDuck I'm not in a big hurry. I have babysitting the grands in Louisiana this coming weekend and want to get the new boutique set up a little more "filled out." I'll get back on that next week hopefully!!

Thank you so much, Linda. I love the fact that it is right here! I'll be going to the boutique in Louisiana Monday. But that gives me the rest of the week off until I pack for the weekend at my daughter's.

Thank you, Sandra. I've been with this company for almost 4 years now. I fell in love with the products and everyone was asking me what I was wearing, getting compliments, etc. so I ended up selling it.
