| This is less than a month ago and lots of it has already sold. |
I have loved having a booth. I also love promoting Rockin' B Antiques online. Doing both no longer makes sense for me. I was unwilling to spend as much time and energy as it requires to be financially worthwhile.
I am yearning to spend more time on home and family. I had originally thought I'd have a booth for 5 years and transform my house along the way. It will end up being just shy of 3-1/2 years and my house is not how I envision it. I think I'll be able to do more house transforming while promoting. We'll see.
One thing I'm really looking forward to is not having messy "stations" all over the house. A place to price, a place to store, a place to paint, piles of this and that all over. I'm not a clean freak, but the mess has gotten to me.
Promoting, on the other hand, is something I really enjoy. Bonus - it's not messy at all. It's mostly digital. And I have become pretty darned good at it. It's easy to become good at something you enjoy doing.

| The booth hasn't started looking empty yet because I keep bringing more in. |
Closing the booth is an interesting and somewhat fun process. I continue to bring in more, slowly emptying my stash of treasures from home. There are so many things I want to keep, but I'm forcing myself to let them go. Every week my house feels a little lighter. It's such a great feeling.
I spend a few hours in my booth each week marking things down. I plan to keep marking things down until they are all gone.
The scary part is that time seems to be going really fast. Will it all sell? If you look at these pictures, taken over a space of just about 3 or 4 weeks, you'll see plenty of changes. Things are selling fast, but my booth is staying full. Still, I keep finding things at home to bring in. The booth will never empty out if I don't stop adding to it!
