Garage Sale & Wholesale

Saturday September 10th.

The Shoppe I work at " Bead Rock " had a huge garage sale.
For two weeks we did nothing but pull out old bins and containers crammed full of old projects and half used items.

We had over 300 baggies, strands and mismatched pieces of jewellery. 

-Organized
-Priced
-Some was put into loot bags
- The gems were kept away for use at a later date of course ; )
It was a hell of a job, but we did it : ).

Lots of hype, people, sales, and new customers 
Garage sales kick ass we made a killing just off stuff that was lying around.
The old stocks gone, time to start-a-new


September 12th

Beth Bianchi (my boss) & I hit up a few wholesalers today.
We havnt been in one month, which is rare for us. Usually we go ever two weeks.
Stocked up on lots of new stuff.

Shopping for new products isnt all fun and games.
It's actually hell after a while.
A football sized storage room, filled with bins of every type of jewellery component you can imagine.
Each bin reaching about 6 feet high.
Its hard on the knee's thats for sure.


15 rows of this, it never seems to end





They have a few nice crystals there to!




After this wholesaler we hit up another one.
We stopped just as the sun was going down and got a bite to eat
Had to refuel before heading home.

A nice cold beer and the sound of my pillow hitting my head are all I think of right now.
What a day what a day

  1. Wow, I'd love to take a look around that wholesale warehouse. Is every bin full of the same thing?
    Those two crystals are beauts, but I don't think they would make very practical pendants :P

  2. Every bin is full of different things.
    Seed beads, chain, charms, spacers, crystals, glass beads. So much , so hard to go through them all.

    I'd totally wire wrap them, yet it would look more like the crystal was wearing my then I was wearing it lol
