Thirty-five more feet

I thought I’d give you an update on how things are going with my tiny antique mall space at Monticello Antique Marketplace in Portland, OR.

I’ve been a dealer there for 4 months…

…in a space that measures 15 square feet. 

I bet your bath mat might be bigger than my little space.

But I was determined.

I set and achieved my sales goal every month except the month I broke my foot.

 And that was only because a medical professional told me to sit down.  She said it nicely but it's hard to get anything done with your foot elevated above your heart.

Someone must have spelled a novel using these metal letters.  To date, 85 of them have sold.

So far, 235 items have sold.

And now I need even more.

My new spot as of August 1 (still filled by its current tenant)

I found out I’m going to be moving to a larger (50 s.f.!!) space at the beginning of August!

This might sound like crazy talk but could this be the end of The Garage Where Cars Can’t Park? (now affectionately referred to as The Garage Where People Have to Climb Over Rusty, Chippy Old Things to Get to the Trash Can)

I hope so.  I’ll keep you posted.
