Yesterday I mentioned that I was in the process of setting up a secondhand store and a few people asked me for some clarification and details.
So instead of writing the same response out several times, I thought that I would detail it here.
One of my long term goals in life is to open a vintage and secondhand store.
My ultimate ideal would to be to have a brick and mortar store, but the real estate in this area is insanity, so to start it will be online only.
Last year my kids and I were joking around with store names and through that process I came up with the name I wanted to call it.
In a way of manifesting and to place hold it I bought the domain and made corresponding email addresses, and social media handles with it as well.
Over the last few months I have been planning it out further, collecting and organizing inventory, planning the website, and researching the logistics of worldwide shipping.
It is a process and I don’t have a lot of spare time right at this moment to dedicate to figuring it all out which is why it is taking me a while.
I might hire my teen as an employee to help because she is pretty techie, wants a job, and needs to build her resume. So that will be helpful.
My hope is to have things fall in place this summer.
