The Antique Show Re-Cap: What I Learned

 

A success!

The antique show this past

 weekend was awesome!

I had a great time.

 

 

It was the first of its kind

in this area so I did not

have my expectations very

high.

 

 

I was thinking positive

about it and I think it met all of

my expectations.

 

 

I was leaning on the conservative

side and only rented a table instead

of a larger, walk-in booth.

During set up I was starting to

wish I had gotten the larger space.

It looked like so much fun.

 

 

But I think over all I did well with my

table... so I have no complaints.

I crammed in as much inventory as I could.

 

 

 

There were so many great people

that I met... new friends that

I look forward to seeing again.

 

 

The gal in the middle goes to one

of our local auctions so I've made

a mental note to try it out soon.

She was a hoot to watch in motion.

She had the antique show gig

down to a science.

 

My new friend on the far right,

owns a shop in Cape May, NJ

called "Out of the Past Antiques"

so I am definitely going to

visit her next summer!

Already planning my trip!

 

 

So here is what I learned:

1. Every experience is a valuable one.

2. Every opportunity is a learning experience.

3. Every customer is a learning experience.

4. You never know what people will buy!

5. Be patient. Observe More. Listen More.

6. Bring "new" items each day of the sale.
