Beautiful Antiques new today in the shop

Published 18 days ago • 1 min read

I have one website restock for June, and it's happening today in the Found Collection online shop:

An 1864 Hand-stitched Framed Sampler - Shop Here​
A beautiful piece of early English history, stitched by hand more than 160 years ago. Framed and ready to hang, with the kind of character and craftsmanship that simply can't be recreated today.

An Heirloom Blue Willow Platter - Shop Here​
Rich blue transferware with the timeless Willow pattern collectors have loved for generation. At 16.5" wide, this is a showstopper that will anchor your collection.

A pair of Barley Twist Candlesticks - Shop Here​
Classic English styling with beautifully turned spiral stems and a rich patina developed over decades. The last set from my England crate.

A collection of pieces with history, character, and stories all their own.

Only Restock for June

These will be our only new items added for June, as I'm traveling with family for a bit and taking a small break to recoup after our in-person event.

But don't worry . . . behind the scenes, I'm currently planning my next sourcing trip to England (looking at August) and also finalizing the long-term home for the Found Collection events.

I'll be sharing more later this summer!

Reader, Starting in 2023, things began feeling different in my business. And as I talked to my booth owner and reselling friends, I wasn't the only one feeling that way. The truth is, since 2020, a LOT has changed in the reselling world - whether you are a booth owner, show seller, or are only online. And in the last 3 years, the pace of changes has sped up. But I don't want you to be discouraged! With change also comes opportunity, and I believe smart sellers can adapt to what we're seeing...

Reader, One of the most frequent questions I get is, "What's trending right now?" Building a successful resell business is part audience-building, part smart-sourcing, and part trend-identifying. Jumping on a trend won't make or break your business, but it certainly can give you a little boost! So new today on YouTube, I'm sharing 15 things I see trending this summer, along with 5 things that seem to be on their way out. Curious to see if you agree with these for your area and customers 🧐...

Happy Memorial Day! I know it's a holiday, so I'll keep this short and sweet. Another weekly website restock is live at TheFoundCollection.com This one has a bit of an English library feel and includes the very last piece of art that I came back in my three crates. Some Items from last week's restock are also available, and a few items released earlier this summer have been marked down. >>> Click here to shop the restock Melanie Alexander Creator of The Found Collection
