I have a booth, my first year and certainly relate!...I still wish you were my neighbor! Not just for the booth part of it, but just because, you are kind,smart and full of confidence. Everyone needs a friend like YOU!!
Thank you! I love your transparency and it helps to know, I’m “not the only one.” ❤
You are very welcome. You are never alone with having crappy days. Hang in there.
Thanks for keeping it real. It's frustrating seeing all the other booth owners who seemingly have it all together, ALL THE THE TIME. I can't compare with that. Some daus, I feel like quitting.
Yep. At first I thought I can't show this video and then I reconsidered...this IS what it is really like. Every day. The rollercoaster of owning a small business.
Thanks for keeping it real for those of us that have a booth. Sometimes i get so discouraged with my sales eventhough I fluff, new items, and spend alot of time. But eventually sales will pick up and i will feel better again. Sorry you had so many challenges at one time.
You are welcome. Ups and downs happen. I wish you the best with your booth.
Thank you for sharing this video. I work a full time job and it can be stressful. I enjoy flipping and start a booth. But lately my paying job has taken most of my time and I don’t have the energy to work on projects. I appreciate you sharing your struggles and showing that things are not always perfect. Really enjoy your channel!
Thank you for watching. I get it. I worked full-time for a long time before I could leave my job and do this full-time. So much work. Hang in there.
I really needed to see this video today. Thank you so much for putting out an honest video and a realistic one. The last few days I’ve been having the exact problems you had. Every time I started a project and I was on a deadline to finish things for my pop-up booth there was more to the project than I thought there was. I was having panic attacks that I wasn’t going to have things finished to sell. We are only open 3 1/2 days a month so it’s really important for me to have new items. I am a full-time teacher and do this on the side, but it also is a full-time business.
I feel like " Mr. ROGERS"... WONT YOU BE MY NEIGHBOR? YOU have such fortitude! And are very uplifting! Thank you!
I love this video! Real life! Just what I needed today!
Glad it was helpful. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the encouragement!
You are welcome.
So helpful, thanks for sharing!
Thank you for your transparency this is my first year, still trying to figure things out.
You are so welcome!
Thank you for sharing that you too may have struggles, I know it helps me out!!! I love your booth at plaza antiques, I get so many ideas from you and I appreciate how much work you put into your booth to make it beautiful ❤️As a matter of fact my son and I were shopping there today for supplies!!!!
Thank you so much. Thank you for shopping at Plaza Antiques and shopping local it means so much. The dealers at the mall are some of the sweetest people I know.
Really enjoyed this video. So motivating. I struggled recently with a large heavy dresser I got thru an online auction. The top showed wear and damage. I am not experienced and did two rounds of sanding and painting before I realized I should have used a chemical stripper to get the heavy varnish off the top in order to get a smooth finish. I am giving myself that break you talked about and the piece is currently in my basement being used to store some booth merchandise. I'll figure it out later. And it will all be okay no matter what I decide to do with it. One of your suggestions about how to deal with mental burnout is one I use quite a bit. I choose a mindless, tedious task (like pricing very small items like jewelry or stickers) to work on while listening to TH-cam content about vintage/antiques. I absorb info like a sponge while cranking out some smalls for my booth. Thanks for your time in creating these inspirational videos for us.
You are so very welcome. Best of luck with that dresser...whatever you choose to do. Zoning out with small tasks does help you be productive and get your head back on task. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for sharing the truth of having a vintage booth. I needed to hear this today. ❤
You are very welcome. It is the hardest job I have ever had, but I have also got to do so many things I never thought I could and have grown so much from it. All the work and the hard has been so worth it. Hang in there.
Thank you for sharing,!!
You are very welcome!
Hi I'm a new subbie. I enjoy your videos so much. I live in Las Vegas but I was raised in Pontiac, MI. So next time im In MI I will definitely come to your booth.
Welcome!! Thank you for subscribing!
good sensible dose of reality, girl!!
Re: leash training. Keep George right next to you. He will feel safe. When the dog is let out on a long leash and they are a couple feet in front of you their instinct is to go into protective mode or to be the leader.
That is stressful for a small dog and not his job.
So, try training George on a taute (tight) leash and see if that helps.
Thank you and thank you for walking tips. Yep I have a four foot leash, but he has a lot of energy. I hope with lots of practice he will figure it out.
@@theturnedleg he will. It would be nice if he had a place to run out all that energy innate to his breed.
@@synchronicity1470 we do a bunch of long leash free walks…it helps.
I much rather see everything so I can learn. Don’t beat yourself up over a mishap!
Nice video, You are definitely an inspiration to all of us just starting out.
I appreciate that!
I love what you have said! I have had so many frustrations along the way but has still been worth it. Just had to tell of one of my frustrating furniture refinishes. My Sister and I went to pick up a china cabinet off of marketplace for free. I was so excited to pick up this piece. My sister and I lifted it and she accidentally lost her grip, the piece slid against my wrist and the garage door. I knew it had hurt but was still excited to get the piece. When we were driving home, my sister yelled "look at your wrist"! It was hanging down! I thought let's just get this home and then I will get an xray. When we lifted it out of the truck and turned it around, noticed it was infested with termites. I was so done!!!! I truly understand!
Great story. Wow. Never had anything like that happen...luckily. I knew the story would end bad when you said, "I got it off marketplace for free"...lol...Thanks for sharing!
@@theturnedleg I used to say it's free and it's for me....not anymore.
This is exactly the way my luck has been lately!
I hope your luck improves. Hang in there.
Excellent content ❤ We all need to be reminded that these things happen to us all. Sometimes it is just life redirecting us for the moment. A sign to go enjoy the day, our loved ones, ourselves. Thank you, as always, for doing what you do!
Thank you for watching. Glad you found it helpful.
Love your videos!
Thank you!
WE TRULY APPRECIATE THE TIME THAT YOU PUT INTO YOUR VIDEOS, AND LOOK FORWARD TO THEM EVERY SATURDAY, AND ALWAYS ON TIME‼️ HOPEFULLY THIS UPCOMING WEEK WILL BE AMAZING FOR YOU‼️ TAKE CARE~
I appreciate that. Thank you. You take care, too.
I've never had a booth, probably never will, however, I do love thrifting and shopping for antiques and other oddities that furnish my home. I think the information you shared here is obviously valuable to other booth owners - but also very important for people that shop antiques but don't have booths. It's important for us to realize how much hard work goes into acquiring and working on the lovely pieces that you fill your booths with. Plaza Antiques is my happy place ❤ Thank you.
Thank you. Saving all the good junk isn't always easy. Plaza Antiques is my happy place, too.
O bless your heart ❤️ sweetie you'll come out on top your way to talented to ever stop doing the beautiful work you do 🥰
Thank you!
Everybody has a bad day every so often. What I do is just put it away till the next day and try doing something else. The items you mentioned that did not work out. It’s unfortunate but you’re going to come across that when Thrifting and sometimes when we try to Redo items, it won’t work out. We just need to move on to something else. I love what you’ve been doing with your shop and I see many many videos lately, so you are getting out there to the public. That’s the most important thing; advertising is the key to success.
Very true. Thank you!
New Sub love your channel. I am in Michigan too.
Welcome!
Thank you for this. I’ve been missing you, somehow. 😢. We’ve had so much going on, I haven’t been online much. I, also, have not been painting or repurposing anything. It’s taking it’s toll. This video is, just what I needed. Thanks so much!
You are VERY welcome. Hope you can come back online just to stay inspired. Creativity helps so much!
Thanks for the great information
You are welcome. Glad you found it helpful.
Just in general I think some get business mixed up with hobby. Business you are paid for your time just like you would at a job. If you work 8 hours on a piece you should figure that in your profit ,so its balanced and right. You most figure in your time in a business model. You should be paid for your time and if you cant then you are investing in wrong items business wise.
Very good points!
When I get frustrated like that, I take a long ride get a cup of coffee and just drive😊
Great suggestion.
Nice clickbait.
I am soooo much a stress cleaner😂😂😂
So glad I am not the only one...lol
