You may recall earlier this year I mentioned putting my name on the very long waiting list for a dealer space in Monticello Antique Marketplace in Portland, OR.
THROUGH THE FRONT DOOR AND DOWN THE STEPS
At that time I was told the wait could be a year.
Gah.
A year!
TURN RIGHT
The garage is filled to the brim with junk right this minute. And yard sale season is just around the corner…
Well, what do you know?!
Turns out the universe heard my whining and had just about enough of it.
TA-DA! MY FUTURE SPACE (it’s still occupied by its current tenant)
My name came up on the waiting list much faster than I could have hoped and now I’m thrilled to be setting up my vendor space on March 1st.
It’s small. Your basic starter home of mall spaces.
But all 3 x 5 feet (yes, it’s the size of a throw rug) are mine!

And the location within the store is terrific.
I plan to fill it all the way up (literally) with a tower of vintage Junk Jenga.
You’ll see…
Congratulations! Sounds like the perfect answer to your full garage! Good Luck, keep us posted

Oh this is going to be so good. A new reason to spin vintage magic. I can't wait to see your booth and watch it grow. Congratulations....smiles...Renee
ReplyDeleteWow how exciting. How does vending this way work??
ReplyDeleteHappy Cottge Quilter: In this particular antique mall, dealers rent a space month-to-month and also pay a commission to the mall on their sales. In return for that, the mall handles all selling and marketing. I've sold my things in other malls in the past where dealers had to work the sales floor for a day or two each month and I didn't care for that – I would rather be out looking for more junk!
ReplyDeletejenga junk anchored in spot by a concrete deer..congrats!
ReplyDeleteCongrats!!! You're going to have a great time with a vendor space. I can't wait to see how you fill it up!!!
ReplyDeleteYay Amy - contratulations!! I can hardly wait to see it!
ReplyDeleteYippee! I'm so excited for you. You'll have so much fun packing your space full of fabulous treasures. Can't wait to see how it looks when you're all moved in. Congratulations.
ReplyDeleteCongrats! Oh, how I wish I lived closer. That booth is bound to be fabulous!

What wonderful news, Amy. I am so happy for you. I can't wait to see you work your magic and shop your space full of charming treasures. I'm coming during the Garden Show which should be perfect timing for your "Grand Opening." Have fun getting everything together. XOXO
ReplyDeleteYAY! I'm still giggling over "junk jenga!"
ReplyDeleteOh, you'll do great. My space is only a shelf... 1" x 3" but I go up & fill every side and still do very well. Like you said, it's a starting point. Wish I was closer so I could come see it!
ReplyDeleteBest wishes with the space! Let us know how space ownership goes.
ReplyDeleteSooooooo happy for you. !!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI am sure that it Junk Jenga will be a happy spot - small, but fulllll of fab stuff!!!! Remember, good things come in small packages - or spaces, if you will.
Much success to you, dear Miss A.!
