First, the Red Barn Outdoor Market near Benton, KS. We followed that up with a trip north to the Funky Junk Market in Funk, NE. Then, we went south to Dewey, OK for the 2 Friends & Junk Sale. All fantastic. But, whew, we are exhausted! So much good stuff has been passed on to great people. We have met so many new, cool, like-minded people and reconnected with treasured friends. We are having a blast.
Now, to unload the trailer and reset the studio. We have a love/hate relationship with this part of our work. It's always fun to dig out new inventory and reconfigure what we have on hand, and it also means carrying some heavy stuff. Ok, not some. We carry a lot of heavy stuff.
I pitched an idea to my husband and he thinks I am crazy. So, I'll pitch it here and you can confirm or deny if this is a good idea.
My idea: have a unpack the trailer sale. We name a day and time and set everything out in the grassy lot behind our studio. We'll make some great deals and I'll slowly reset the studio. You get great deals and maybe I don't have to carry as much heavy stuff as far. Win-win.
If you are thinking that all of the stuff left in the trailer is all the stuff no one bought at the sale, you have to know that we always pack WAY more than we could ever sell in a space during a one or two day show. We are prepared for anything. That means we always bring home a lot of good stuff and if we shop on the way home, we might even have some new treasures.
Plus, our show schedule means that we have neglected anyone who is local who wants to browse. We just couldn't pack and unpack and pack again and keep on the road. So, the unpack the trailer sale would be a great way to catch up with anyone in our area who has been feeling the need to take a look at some signs or has wanting to check out some great vintage finds.
So, what's the verdict? Have an unpack the trailer sale or no?
