Labor Day...My Store...My Labor of Love

Well...It is "Labor Day Weekend" & I am spending it at my store...


I'd love to say that everything is "Honky Dory", but truth be told...


Things are tough !!!


The economy "SUCKS"


Yeah, there I said it...


I "HATE" putting all that negativity into the atmosphere.


I've always been a firm believer in putting "The Secret" out there.


And now that it's out out there, I have some decisions to make...


FIRST let me tell you that...


Operating a brick and mortar store today is becoming an impossible task.


Expenses are high...Landlords think that there properties are "GOLD"...not to mention all the other EXPENSES.


When I look around, I see so many empty storefronts & it makes me "SAD".   :(


It makes neighborhoods look so depressed.


What are the solutions ???


I wish I knew...


I'm way "TIRED" of trying to think outside the box

AND

is closing in on me !!!

But, I am having a...

One that my sister, Lorraine, & I have been contemplating for awhile now...

Just the other day Lorraine received her "Top-rated seller" Certificate in the mail (I'll photograph hers tomorrow).

And

After much searching...(I received mine some time last year), I found mine buried under an avalanche of paperwork.

Lorraine's is hanging on the refrigerator...

so that her family will see that she actually "DOES WORK" & I am going to hang mine front & center at the store.

In additon to being "Top-rated sellers", Lorraine & I are also...

So, here comes the...

"IDEA"

(drum roll please...)

  On September 20th, 2011 (our store's 24th Anniversary), we will become an...

We will help YOU sell your "TREASURES".

Our expertise will help YOU get the best price for your items. 

 And here's our other 

"IDEA"

If you have lots & lots of  "TREASURES" to sell.  Lorraine & I will host a SALE for you in "Your Home".  As soon as we brainstorm together, we'll fill you in on
 "ALL THE DETAILS".

Feeling much better know that I have thought "Outside the Box" & now I am going to enjoy the rest of this BEAUTIFUL "Labor Day Weekend" with my 

 "Friends & Family"

Always Looking Forward & Never Looking Back,
Kathleen Sforza
Lorraine Sforza Razzano
