Hey Reader, Mark your calendars for May 8 and 9, The Found Collection May Sale has been set! As I write this, my crates from England have crossed the ocean and are snaking their way to the port. They're estimated to clear customs around April 10 and arrive to me here in Northwest Arkansas roughly a week later π€ Last week I signed a short term lease for the space I'll be using in Downtown Springdale . . . This open room will be transformed into a space filled with items you aren't seeing anywhere else in NWA. Here are the details: ποΈ Public Sale: Friday, May 8: 11-6 and Saturday, May 9: 10-5 π Location: 313 W Meadow Ave, Downtown Springdale, Arkansas π Collector Preview Early Access Night: Thursday, May 7: 6:30pm What's the Collector Preview? That's an opportunity to reserve a limited spot and enjoy seeing the full collection before anyone else. Preview Passes were offered first to members of the Collector's List on Monday, and four spots remain. The Pass is $20 and converts to store credit for you to use that evening. β>>> Click here to for more on the Collector Preview Passβ Can you help me spread the word?I created a Facebook event for The Found Collection Sale and need your help in getting the word out, especially in northwest Arkansas, southern Missouri, and eastern Oklahoma. Would you take a minute to visit the event and please share it on your profile? You can also click "Interested" to help the event gain momentum, or even better, "Going" if you plan to attend. Word of mouth is the best advertising and your help is so greatly appreciated! β>>> Click here to see the Facebook Event for the saleβ For my Reseller Business FriendsSpring is a great time to refresh your booths, Etsy shops, or flea market stalls with new inventory. I've always found that sales get a bump in early spring (hello tax return spending!), before the slower summer months begin. If you're looking for some spring inventory or vignette inspiration, this post over on the blog is full of it. One last thing I want to share, I hope everyone has a wonderful Easter weekend. Whether you celebrate the spiritual celebration or not, I think Easter weekend always brings a sense of renewal and new life. I've been particularly grateful for all the "new life" I've had these past 12 months, especially with my youngest son getting sick last March and having ongoing health issues. Every morning when I wake up, I take a minute to think through the things I'm grateful for, and the list gets longer each day. If you're reading this email, you're a part of that list! The opportunity to continue in this business and help support my family has been like no other. Thank you for your partnership along the way, and Happy Easter. |
Home is where life is both lived and recovered from. Itβs an oasis to refresh your family as well as your friends. But creating that space shouldnβt break the bank. I hope my free resources will help you create your own beautiful home on a budget. Please sign up for my newsletter so you'll never miss a single bit of inspiration!
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 π§...
