Cindy's Cupboard is Open for Business!

I completed my business set-up this week and signed a lease for a booth at a Jenks, OK antique mall.

My shelving and inventory were transported to the mall this afternoon and I finished unpacking just as the mall closed at 5:00pm. I never would have accomplished it without my sister's help. Thanks, Ang!

Welcome to Cindy's Cupboard, booth #59 in the Antique NV mall located at 102 South First Street (First & Main), Jenks, OK.

New Merchandise in Inventory

Hello to my few readers! What have I done lately to open this business, you ask?

• I've located a potential booth space in Claremore, OK. It's a little farther than I want to drive, but I've got it on my list as a potential site.
• I've found a new display shelf.
• I found a few items to add to my opening inventory.

Do you need a Sebring USA bowl?

 How about a Canonsburg deviled egg plate?

 Do you have your glasses for the 4th of July?

It's never too early to plan your Christmas decor. Here are a few lovely holiday cross stitch pieces. All were done by a person named Lois.

I hope to have my booth set up very soon. I'll let you know the details so you can come and shop!

Yes, I'm Still Here!

Hello!

I'm sorry it has been so long since I've posted. We have house projects in progress and they have taken a considerable amount of my time and energy.

I have, however, continued to make progress on building inventory for my booth. I have 175 items in inventory at this moment! Probably 3/4's of them are from me culling items from the house and the remaining 1/4 are from my purchases at sales and thrift stores.

At home we own four bookshelves that, once they are cleared, will form the nucellus of my new booth. I'm currently working to empty them and get them located next to the booth inventory.

If I could ever get the house projects finished, I could then devote time to seeking out the perfect booth in my area. I think within the next couple of weeks, I will be able to devote significant time to the search. Wish me luck!

My Second Step

Progress has been a bit slower on Cindy's Cupboard than I expected because I've had a couple of projects (one very unexpected) around the house to manage.

What have I accomplished since my last post?

• I have the paperwork to complete for my tax exempt number. MUST. SIT. DOWN. AND. DO. IT.
• I have added more items to the booth inventory by opening my cupboards, as well as purchasing a few things. Every item was checked for cleanliness, photographed, inventoried, tagged, wrapped and packed into storage/transportation bins.
• I have identified two new sources for inventory.
• I found a mall with an available booth and inexpensive rent, but it's a bit too far from home. 

What do I plan to do next?

• Complete and process the tax exempt paperwork.
• Consult with my talented niece on a logo design for use on printed items (signage, price tags, business cards, etc.)
• Add to inventory.
• Perfect inventory organization and storage.
• Paint shelf and bookcase. Both items will be for sale in the booth, but initially will be used for displays.
• Find additional items to use for displays.
• Investigate more malls in the effort to find a home for Cindy's Cupboard

I'll be back next week with another report. Hope to see you here!
