Starting a new booth at an antique mall
I have had my store for almost 5 years now. Before I decided to that I had booths in Antique malls owned by other people. Business has been a little slow so far this year so I have decided to put a booth in at the Abilene Downtown Antique Mall in Abilene, KS. It is a lot of work but the owners of that mall are willing to let me advertise my store in the booth I am renting. This week my days off are being spent looking for shelves and packing items for my new booth. I hope that any of you that are in either Abilene, KS or Salina, KS will stop by and see what we have.

Hard work
Today I am not going to tell you about a different collectible. I decided that today I would tell you about the hard work that goes into being an antique dealer. I own the shop that I am in. Today I had a dealer moving out and I needed to fill his spot so it wouldn't look empty. While I was sorting through items I already had but hadn't put out yet, someone came in selling items. Now instead of the 4 boxes that I had kept stashed for filling vacant spots I had another 4 boxes of new stuff to clean and sort. I had to move furniture to fill his space, unpack, clean, inventory and price items to be put out. During this time I was open and had customers coming in to shop. The good news is that hard work pays off. I am very happy with the changes I have made. The store looks good and my customers have been complementing me on the changes I was making. Come in and see us soon.
