August’s Shop Talk is coming to you a little late in the month because I was busy prepping for the Art Festival. But I have finally sat down to share some updates with you all. Let’s get to it.
Millcreek Art Festival
We attended the Millcreek Art Festival again this year and it was a great time! It was a beautiful, sunny day. Yay for no rain! We got to chat with customers we see in the shop regularly and meet people who had never heard of us before.
We made $374 and had 17 people sign up for our email.
Thank you to all who helped at the festival, who covered shifts at the shop, and for spreading the word about this event.
Christmas Corner
It’s Christmas in…August?!
As many of you know, Christmas is a big deal here at the shop. And our customers lovvvve to donate (and buy) Christmas items. So, due to an abundance of such items, we’ve created the Christmas Corner to get Christmas on the floor a little earlier than normal.
If you’re tired of these 100* days, go stand by a frosted cover tree, or hug a snowman, and remember that cooler days are coming.
Halloween/Fall Coming Soon
Yes, I know Christmas is out before Halloween and Fall. It’s a wild place here. But don’t worry, I haven’t forgotten about the other Holidays!
Fall items have slowly been trickling out but we will have an official burst of Halloween and Fall coming next week.
Thanksgiving items will make their way out in late September.
New Jewelry Bin
This is IMPORTANT!
Jewelry from the floor often gets left on the jewelry table with no note. It’s really easy for these small pieces to get misplaced. From now on, if there is a piece of jewelry from the front of the store that you have a question about (it’s not priced, it’s missing a piece or is broken, a watch isn’t working, etc.) please place it in this bright green basket. (Located on the jewelry table).
If you can attach a note to it with what the issue is, even better!
If it’s a piece of jewelry from the glass case - these pieces need to go DIRECTLY to one of three people: Katie, Randy, or Abby. If the jewelry team is not in and Abby can’t be found, leave the piece on Abby’s desk with a note. This way, we don’t have valuable pieces floating around with the potential to go missing or get mismarked.
Kids’ Clothes Update
As of right now, we are no longer selling kid’s clothes outside of coats and jackets.
We will be donating all other kid’s clothes to a children’s shelter.
The coats and jackets can be found to the left of the linens.
That’s all for now. I hope you all enjoy the last bit of August.
