Krazy Days.....

So the not so famous last words were, "Let the craziness begin!" Well, here we are two months down the road and so far we are doing pretty well. I really thought that my spot would be off the beaten path at the mall, but the third floor is proving to be a pretty good. The first month, I was totally surprised to cover my rent. Month two was also a surprise as well. Heck, I'm surprised every time I go in and take a few new things.

I've been trying to hit the mall at least once a week. I move the merchandise around a bit, and check prices. I really believe the secret to the success is checking the merchandise every week.

So here we are in the middle of summer, and getting ready for Stillwater's biggest summer sale, Krazy Days. Krazy Days is a tradition here in Stillwater, Oklahoma, and the Stillwater Antique Mall is going to participate in the sale. Last week, the mall manager made calls to the vendors asking them to participate in a 20% off sale. I can't imagine someone not wanting to participate. #92 is proud to partcipate!

My booth will also show off some bright yellow tags with a smiley face. I cleaned off the booth's bottom shelves and moved all the items that have been around a while to the bottom shelf and tagged them with these bright yellow tags with bargain prices. I've named them Bottom Shelf Bargains - BSB. Check out the bright yellow sign in the top picture. I took some tag templates to the mall manager. I'm hoping that this will catch on and everyone will do Bottom Shelf Bargains. The object was to try to get customers to stop and spend some extra time in each booth.

I've watched customers cruise through the mall, and I've done the same thing. Customers are looking for something that catches the eye. Everyone has a particular item on their list. It might something for an existing collection, or an item to start a new collection. Maybe something vintage, or something new, or something handmade. Yes, every era has it's connoisseurs, and the Stillwater Antique Mall will please every taste. Stop by and check it out! Very easy to find - right downtown at 116 East 9th Street. If you get lost or need to call - (405) 372-7833‎.

Remember, the Krazy Day's sale starts Wednesday evening, July 22 at 5 pm and continues through Sunday and don't forget to hunt up #92!
