So many great deals in our shop right now, We sold a almost new teal/green sofa & loveseat for $599. We saw two green & pine chairs go out the door to meet their new table friend. We help newly weds with a pine drop down table and two chairs for their first meal in their 1st apt. Do you remember yours? I remember mine 35 years ago, a table I purchased at K-mart probably, chrome and formica top with leather sling seats. He hated it but I loved it. It came from my 2nd apartment, He lived with his mom! So sit down and eat, will ya, with my belly sticking out and my ankles swollen. Next time you can make dinner. HA!

Well back to Purple, Plum, Eggplant ect! I am loving this color on all our new fashion that is coming into the shop. It goes with peach, orange, yellow, red, blue, green, brow &, black.

After Tax Time

Yes, the Robins are coming back to the Midwest, Still snow on the ground but melting. Spring is coming.

Just finished all the number crunching that comes with tax time. It is always such a stressful time for me. I procrastinate doing the P & L and I still haven't got the hang of Quick Books, so I do things by the old way. After a Long Island Ice Tea, I review the past year and it always holds such great surprises. We moved this past year to a higher lease payment, more room, much better location and added great new consigners. So much has change in six years of doing business. The knowledge, trials and tribulations of retail are always changing and challenging. But we keep on keeping on, Why? To bring the Northwest Ohio area with the best name brands for less. To allow consigners to sell their items in a fabulous store atmosphere. It is a eye opener to learn what worked last year and what didn't. I love writing down the goals for the new years.

This year we will add more jewelry, new "Switch Flops" display, more accessories like purses, wallets and sunglasses. We will continue with TV Advertising and try Radio advertising. We will try to update our Website with buying opportunities, implement more "After Hours Parties", and as always, Add more FUNK! Fashion, Furiture & Funk!

November 12, 2008 My Sister's Birthday

It is my Sister's Birthday, yes my baby sister. I love her so much, she doesn't even understand how much I am so glad she has been in my life and has supported me and loved me. She is wonderful. She used to drive me crazy with her head rolling when I slept with her. Our family was so disfunctional with a drunking father and a mother that refused to believe that anything was wrong. Our two older sister ran away and got married, and we were left alone to deal with the destruction. My mother told me the other day that she only stayed to protect us and give us a good life. Well in her eyes it was a great, good life because she had a life that sucks with a prositution mother and her boyfriend wanting her instead of her mother. Her life really suck, how could she love her mother after all of that. But my life and that of my little sister really felt that is was bad with verbal abuse, sometimes physical abuse, and certainly my mother was abused. But life goes on and my kids had a better life, and my mother feels that she gaves us a better life because she stuck with my father, so life goes one. We all do the best we can with what we have. God watches over us and loves us. So Be it.

May 2008

So sweet smelling is the air, full of brillant white dogwoods, purple crabs, yellow forsyethas, tulips and all the wonderful plants of Springs. We are in our new shop since, December 2007 and have been having the time of our life with bring Toledo, Ohio/Maumee, Ohio a fabulous shoppe with consigned items, new items, purchased items from auctions. What a mixture and everyone who stops in is so confused? "Is this new or used?" Happy Surprise; all of the above. Have you see our new website: www.justforyoutoo.net Check us out. Happy Suprise.

Yes, gas is $3.79 today, Lunch was 9.99, Three people came in wanting them to buy their items. a 1800's canning jar, a full cherrywood bed, three dresses, size 22, and a comment, "Well, what is it you want to take?" No, I do not buy, I consign because I am not willing to risk my hard earn money on things that may or may not sell, No, I do not buy, because you did not buy anything from me, you scratch my back and maybe I'll scratch yours, No, I do not buy your dead husband's clothes nor will I consign them. Men do not buy old suits. Do Real Men wear Suits anyway, now a days? Cherry Bed, maybe, canning jars, no, take it to a antique store and store them there, size 22 dresses, I will consign them, and what do I want to take- THINGS THAT WILL SELL, NEWER ITEMS, COOL ITEMS, THINGS THAT ARE $3,000 BUT THAT I CAN SELL FOR $300. ALWAYS A DEAL, ALWAYS, (Get the fuck out of here, you just spent 25 minutes in my shop, touched everything, and wanted something that was waiting for the glass to come in but was broke and I said when the glass comes in, it will be for $40.00. "oh that will be too much" Well I will sell it now for $20.00. "But the glass is broke????" Get the fuck out of my shop) Love, Chris

Frustration

Yes, I'm drinking a Busch Beer, not a fan of Pabst. We posted this on e-bay www.ebay.com/7169Christina and it only sold for $8.00 I purchased it through an auction for $10. That is not the only problem, DH is laid off and is in the shop daily. He argures with me on what I put things on sale and how can I mark this price down then he goes and sells mismarked shoes by the new employee that said $1.50 for white wallet that was priced $25.00 for $9.00 because he could get off his lazy butt to look where the customer got the shoes at (in the new Ann Taylor box that says the consigner paid $135.00 for them), or look the item up in the software program, or ask me about it who was in my office 5 steps away. He was so proud of himself for getting $9.00 for a pair of shoes. Loser! With a BIG L on his forhead.

DO NOT LET YOUR DH WORK IN YOUR SHOPPE. I AM READY TO JUST QUIT. HE THINKS HE CAN DO SUCH A GREAT JOB AT IT, BETTER THAN ME.
