Rose’s Vintage/Antiques

I follow a few pages and YouTubers who have booths and get ideas from them. What I never see is how to keep your booth going when Real Life is happening.
2025, the whole year, has been 85% Real Life for me. There were many things that needed my attention, including my mental health, so my booth just coasted.I felt like a failure but the world kept turning and I'm still in the fight.
I'm facing a huge health challenge with a family member that is going to take the majority of my time so I've been thinking how to keep my booth going. I hope this helps someone struggling and that others might offer up ideas that have helped them.

-I have a big inventory taking up space in my house. I can clean, price and pack at least 10 items a week to take in
-Surely I can find 15-30 minutes every couple of weeks to dust and just move a few things around
-This should have been #1-remember this isn't a competition; give myself some grace for taking care of Real Life issues first

Yes, this was a very short list. My brain can't handle more. This list is for "ME" and maybe it will help someone else that's struggling.
My dreams for my booth are much bigger than I can accomplish at this moment but all dreams start with one step.
Make your list and take that one step!

ware
ups

art work
I'm very "eclectic", I love things across many era's/centuries.
I'm bringing in 1800's era books, including Bibles, ledgers and school books.
I know "pin-up" items such as barware, calenders, pictures, ashtrays and such aren't "politically correct", but....the art is pretty stunning!

If you're looking for something to do, come by and visit my booth (KSR A2 R7-8). That means row "2" on the left when you enter the building and my booth is #7&8 on your right. I'll be restocking tomorrow and I've got pretty much something for everyone! From guitar and banjo strings (new old stock), Fenton, some pieces of exceptional art work, primitive, MCM, bar ware (I've got some exceptional pieces coming in very soon!), old toys and I do have a passion for the odd & unusual, lol! I'm working my way through a big lot of beautiful "Magic Lantern" slides. If you are looking for something in particular, please let me know. I love hunting!
When I'm working on my booth, many new followers have learned I'm more than happy to make deals and bundle items.
Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

"Keep rowing". Someone in my life journey said this and I'm holding onto it!
I recently had the opportunity to double my booth and I was overjoyed! At the same time, I was dealing with a complication from my 2nd hip replacement so I was moving slower than molasses in January.
Recently, my son helped me paint both spaces ( he DETESTS painting, but $ talks, lol) and the new big space looks good, I think!
Over the next couple of days, God-willing and the creek don't rise, I'm going to do my very best to load this space up!
Here is a taste of what I'm bringing in:
I have SO much more and I'll be bringing it all in as soon as this body allows, lol!
