Last month our booth sales were down a bit but we still more then covered the rent. I'd love to expand, I can't sell all of the stuff in my house if people can't see it. Do you think it's smarter to expand in the same store or another location?Jolene @ JoRetrohttp://www.joretro.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2966296007306432724.post-9853080803133141182012-02-08T12:15:04.180-05:002012-02-08T12:15:04.180-05:00Very cute shop - someday I hope to get to Florida ...Very cute shop - someday I hope to get to Florida to thrift shop. I've heard it is great picking there.<br />We started out with our first shop in November with shelves at $40 a month and now have decided to take the jump into a larger space - 5x10 at $75 a month! Im nervous but excited to be able to decorate with larger pieces and pictures, etc. I also am now struggling to balance the online shop, group shop, flea market stuff, blog and the 40 hour reglar day job! yikes - but its fun and I really appreciate you sharing your adventures!Victoria - second wind cabinhttp://www.secondwindcabin.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2966296007306432724.post-36626114705305371972012-02-08T08:31:45.103-05:002012-02-08T08:31:45.103-05:00It's a cute little spot.
