Hey everyone! Just a quick heads up! I’ll be closing at 3 PM today so I can take my daughter to the doctor’s. If we get finished in time, I’ll reopen until 5 PM! 😊

Sharing this because you don’t want to miss this yard sale tomorrow!

I’m just going to be transparent with you all because I feel like keeping a good line of communication shows respect and creates understanding…

I’ve really been torn between making sure I keep my customers happy and doing what makes my family and me happy. I never want the store hours to feel unreliable, and I especially worry about people making the drive to the store only to find that it’s closed. Keeping my customers happy is SUPER important to me. Because of that, I tend to put my own things aside to make sure I’m not inconveniencing anyone else.

With all that said, my family is having a reunion that we’ve had planned for months now. Since I’m now a one-man band, I felt like I needed to stay behind and run the store. But after more thought, I’ve realized it’s just as important to make time for my family and myself too.

So I’ve compromised with myself. 😊

•••Tomorrow, October 3rd, The Funky Fern will be closing at 2 PM.•••

That way I can squeeze in a few hours at the store AND still have time to go be with my family.

With your continued support, one day I’ll get to the point where I can hire someone to help me run this little place so I don’t have to choose between the two. Until then, if you’re ever making the drive just to come shop at The Funky Fern, please check Facebook before heading over to confirm we’re open.

Thank you for continuing to support me, rolling with the occasional schedule changes, reading my posts as I overshare/overthink and understanding that there’s just one of me trying to make it all work. 🫶🏻

I’ve been itching to do a Fill-a-Bag Sale, but with everything going on recently (and the weather not cooperating), I just haven’t been able to make it happen.

BUT… I need to clear out some clothes to make room for new stuff, so let’s do 40% OFF ALL CLOTHING this week! 🧡🌼

Just a reminder, The Funky Fern will be CLOSED Thursday, Oct. 1st, so come snag yourself some stuff today, Friday & Saturday!

Come help me clear these racks so I can fill them back up again😁

I feel like everyone needs to see the back of a thrift store at least once.

Because THIS is why I thrift.

Everything you’re looking for probably already exists. The clothes. The dishes. The picture frames. The furniture. The toys. The kitchen stuff. The weird little thing you’ve had on your wishlist for six months.

Someone already bought it. Someone already used it. And eventually, a lot of it ends up here.

This is the back of ONE thrift store. Just ONE. Look at how much stuff is waiting to be sorted and given another chance.

We live in a world that constantly convinces us we need the newest version of everything. New clothes every season. New decor every trend. New furniture because the internet decided our old furniture isn’t cute anymore.

Meanwhile, there are literal mountains of perfectly good things that already exist.

And maybe that’s why thrifting has completely changed the way I shop. I don’t automatically think “where can I buy this?” anymore.

I think, “I bet this already exists somewhere. I just have to find it.”

And honestly? The waiting makes finally finding it SO much better. 🥹

There is already enough stuff in this world. Give the old stuff another chance before we make more.
