NEW ITEMS

New items for our shop. I am trying to purge out some of our lace and trims. We have tons, purchased at our local auction house, box lots at a time. I need to clean out my craft room/closet, hence the name; aclosetoftreasures. You can find these here http://aclosetoftreasures.etsy.com the packs will consist of; two yards of vintage trim/lace with a handmade/handstamped tag and a glittered clothespin. Each trim is approx. 1 yard x 2 trims, give or take.
Use these little beauties in your vintage shop as give aways, for sale, as decorations, whatever your fancy.
Let's talk about clothes pins; when we had our gift shop here on the island for the tourist, we gave away a clothes pin with each purchase (sometimes with a brochure.) We would use the clothes pin to close the bag. The merchants LOVED this, women's faces would light right up. For the local people, they would mention they would revisit just for a clothes pin, some would share that they had a collection going. One woman came back to make another purchase because her dog ate her clothes pin!!
At craft shows and festivals (where ever we set up our craft table) we would do the same thing, our clothes pins became very popular.
Why don't you try this in your shop or at your craft shows. Women love free little things. Thanks for stopping by.
