Antique Mall Update.

 A small update on the status of our Antique Mall

Booth that we were recently offered from our

favorite AM. We officially signed our contract

last week and paid our deposit to seal the deal.

Our move in date is Thursday, June 1st, 2017.

Now we're busy gathering items that we have in

storage and deciding how our booth will look. I

found this sweet and very solid cabinet at one

of the local charity shops. It was $75 but then

marked down to $60. It has a light in the roof,

a mirrored back wall and a glass shelf. This will

work well for any items we'd like to showcase

that are needing to be in a secure spot. The only

thing it lacked was a lock on each door. Once

my dh agreed it was just what we need, I paid,

then drove over to the local locksmith's shop.

After a half hour of work and just over $84

in fees, we now have a lock on both doors.

Our tiny budget for a cabinet was actually

$450 so I'm thankful we saved over $300.

I love how the locksmiths were so careful to 

centre the locks so they look like they were 

meant to be there all along. Now I have to 

decide if I should leave it with the original

wood finish or chalk paint it a light color. I 

like both choices, so I'll sleep on it tonight. So

many decisions. The rest of our booth will be

open cabinets. This will be the locked one.

Updates on our preparations for our booth, the

gathering of items, the setup and the opening soon.
