| FAQ ________________________________________ Why should I consign? We're going to promote this show far and wide. We'll have door prizes, giveaways, an invitation-only pre-sale for consignors and vendors, music, a coffee bar, and great home decor and hip crafts. Make money & have fun and let us do all the work! ________________________________________________ What sorts of items are you looking for? We want to sell your like-new or gently-used home decor: lamps paintings prints decorative vases wedding decor baby furniture children's room decor furniture frames chairs rockers chests toy boxes coffee tables side tables end tables baker's racks shelves wall sconces silk trees/plants patio furniture fountains garden decor wicker furniture baskets containers trays candle holders hunting/fishing decor area or throw rugs bathroom decor kitchen decor bedroom sets clocks ______________________________________________ What sorts of items are you not looking for? mattresses garage sale items electronics toys games bedding or towels antiques clothing out-of-style decor ____________________________________________ How do I apply and what is the application deadline? Go HERE and send us an e-mail with the information we request. We'll notify you by e-mail (preferred) or post if you are accepted. The application deadline is May 11th (Mother's Day). ____________________________________________ How much does it cost? There is a $10 acceptance fee, payable upon acceptance, which goes directly to the cost of venue rental and printing. You can send it to us via PayPal, check or cash. You get to keep 70% of your total sales at the completion of the event. _____________________________________________ What do I have to do? All you have to do it number and tag your items, then bring them to us. If accepted, we will assign you a consignment number. We will send you blank price tags in the mail. You must number each item and tag items securely. You must also bring an inventory list with you to drop-off, which is the Tuesday & Wednesday before the show. We will arrange and sell your items. When the show is over, you come back and pick up your stuff. We will mail you a sales report and check within two weeks of the show. _______________________________________________ How should I price my items? Generally, you should price your home decor at about 1/3 of what you paid for it. Remember, this is resale and this sale is all about getting quality for a good price. It's up to you, but this a handy rule of thumb. ________________________________________________ How much stuff should I bring? There is no maximum or minimum. Simply bring what you want to sell, as long as it fits our guidelines above. If you're not sure, just e-mail Jill & April at homecandy@yahoo.com and ask. We will display as much as possible, but reserve the right to back stock items of which we have too many, or are in poor condition. The more good stuff you bring, the more money you make! _________________________________________________ What will the sale be like? This sale will be department-store-style. Example - all baby furniture or decor will be displayed together, all wedding decor will be together, bedroom decor will be together, etc. Shoppers simply bring what they want to buy to the registers, or stick a reservation ticket on the heavier items, and pay all in one transaction. The sale is at The Place For All Occasions, beside Myer's Lumber Company off of West Broadway. This is a beautiful reception-ready venue with a front reception room and a larger back room with open floor plan, twinkly lights, full kitchen, stage, and coffee bar area. We'll have lots of fun music, a gourmet coffee bar, and tons of great stuff to shop. You can shop from the many kinds of home decor from our consignors, the hip handmade crafts & accessories, and some boutique items from local sponsors. ___________________________________________________ Who are the crafters? The indie crafters are from a crafter/artist collective in St. Louis, MO, called the STL Craft Mafia. One of the founding members is one of the co-organizers of this show. We will be selling hip handmade crafts along with home decor - expect to see women's accessories, baby clothes, jewelry, home decor, & artwork. Everything is original and made by hand. |
