I think there would be a great market for Candadian sellers to sell to other Canadians. Just my 2 cents. :) Heather@Tatter and Frayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18333241040259693852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2302691153455448442.post-89759240109235457352013-03-18T07:44:45.050-07:002013-03-18T07:44:45.050-07:00Hello Cheapchick, I nominated you for the Liebster...Hello Cheapchick, I nominated you for the Liebster Award, post is here: http://www.shoestringmanor.com/2013/03/ive-been-nominated.htmlAggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06180558023028654233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2302691153455448442.post-85252163478051385172013-03-18T05:33:53.590-07:002013-03-18T05:33:53.590-07:00Sounds like you had a good time!

And figuring out what you need for future sales. <br /><br />We have toyed with the idea of having a booth at the antique mall in the city. Not to really make a lot of money but for a project to give us an outlet for the vintage shopping we love to do. We both fear that our home will one day start to look too busy but we love to shop for treasures. If we could still shop but turn around and sell those items, bonus! I know it would be work but we both think it would be a lot of fun too. Some of the vendors have chatted with us and they seem to really enjoy the hunt for the perfect item for their booth. We applied and are on the wait list so at least it is something we can continue to think about. <br /><br />Sales are ways to connect to others with similar interests but if you can sell too, you have done well. <br /><br />Hope your cold is better soon!Chyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09612160129616190092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2302691153455448442.post-21900866383739101022013-03-17T17:59:41.550-07:002013-03-17T17:59:41.550-07:00Good for you.
