Year-end analysis

While it is true that I've only been in my shop since September, I decided to do an analysis last night to see how my sales break down. Thanks to having everything on a spreadsheet already, it didn't take but a few minutes.

I divided my sales into smalls, furniture, and my vintage-inspired art. Smalls, which by far is the easiest to deal with in the booth only accounted for 15% of my total sales. I like smalls because they really do not entail much work out of me. Buy it, price it, place it.

Next in line is the furniture. This includes the furniture that I was fortunate enough to be able to purchase and place as well as those pieces that I have cleaned up, painted, and put my touch to. The furniture, which you would think would be my bread and butter, only accounted for 20% of total sales.

The largest catagory is my vintage-inspired art which is a whopping 65% of my sales. As an artist, this really charges the ego. Good for the ego, but it DOES keep me busy!

I'm a JUNKMARKET Style member

After spending a good hour and a half checking out over 3,000 junking submissions, I decided that I should become a member of JUNKMARKET Style and start sharing some of the ideas that I have put together. It only seemed right to "give back" to other fellow junkers out there.
As it turns out, there are over 6,000 of us on this site ALONE. I submitted my shutter hall tree that I made last week.
So far, I've made one contribution to this site. Hmmm . . . .
