I was really serious about selling some fabric! Really serious! I went from bustin' at the seams...
...to plenty of room for my new product line! I had a small freak out when I got to working on the second shelf, but I made it through with out hyperventilating. Don't worry, I kept plenty of random fabric goodness.
Here is the sale fabric, that is 26 bolts of fabric and two 56 Qt boxes of assorted yardage! And I have not even gotten up to the attic yet. Scary.
Here is a peak inside one of the boxes, they are filled with good stuff. As much as I will miss some of this stuff, I am very excited for the future! I can't wait to make that big fabric order, now that will be fun!!!
So what is Modern June selling at next weeks Cash and Carry Sale? Besides lots and lots of fabric and Modern June one of a kinds, she is selling a couple of big ticket items!
A lovely unfinished four drawer filing cabinet. $75.00 SOLD!
A two year old Palm Pilot Zire Z22 that has been used about two times! It will be all boxed up with the booklet, and accessories, price is $50.00.
An industrial blind hemmer. This is only as is because I haven't used it in 3-4 years and I don't have the time to have it professionally cleaned. The last time I used it it ran like a dream! AS IS $75.00
Your invited to MODERN JUNE'SCASH & CARRY SALE JANUARY 31ST 12-5
I have my new lines all set and now I need some fabric, well not some, I need lots and lots of fabric. What to do, what to do? Can you say LIQUIDATE? I know I can!!!
For almost 6 months my business consultant, Dawn, has been trying to get me to let go of massive stash. She wanted me to sell all my vintage aprons, scarves and all that fabric, tons of fabrics! Well you know what she is right, it all has to go!
I feel like I have been on an episode of Clean House, Niecy and Trish want all my fabric for the yard sale. But they are not here to help, darn them! And I don't get to go and stay at some fancy hotel after the sale! AND I don't get to come home to a totally kickin' new studio. NO FAIR.
I had to do some clean house therapy on my own and with the help of Dawn. At first I really had to put my blinders on and not look at what fabric I had in stock. I needed to plan the new product lines with out bias. I kept looking at the fabric shelves and thinking, "but I have this, I have to use it". But when I got the idea boards complete I was really pleased and confident that everything would be well received. But there isn't room for all of it, something has to give. I kept feeling really sad about selling off (well down sizing it drastically, at least) my fabric stash. But it does have to go, it just has to be the bankroll for the new Modern June.
Well that remorse and fear was swept away when I had a vision of what that set of shelves could be. It could be filled with lovely, gorgeous new product. It will be filled with lots of pretty color-coordinated items, everything folded with kitschy new tags. Every thing ready to go and be enjoyed! Now that is worth de-stashing.
