As you know from earlier posts, I have Etsy Shops. Life on Etsy for me isn't great, I have a vintage hoard to sell off, but all from family. I don't buy it to re-sell it, I simply inherited it!
Being a child of European WWII survivors has ingrained in me the inability to throw anything away! Picture this, I have something in my hand but the hand just won't let it go....so, selling was a way for me to empty my brimming to overflowing second bedroom and storage locker. There isn't a cupboard or closet or floor space to store it all...YIKES what to do? I am a minimalist!!
I thought opening a Vintage Shop would help the hoard to disappear, thinking someone who values vintage might want some of it! Well, is isn't going so quick at all. Still I just can't wrap my head around of throwing it all away.
How can I simply dismiss these beauties? My parents were gifted with these when once they held liquor. Once emptied many, many moons ago, they made those empties into bedside lamps and these still work well, though they should be given new electrical.
Self talk isn't working.....the constant is always a question I have avoided answering, do I close the shop(s) or, HANG in there to see if the advent of Spring will help sales pick up????
