Former booth vendor here. Your items get top prices with the large audience you cant get in a physical location. But what blows my mind is your SOLD items - wondering what part of the country you're in to find such wonderful items at price points that allow resale. Kudos to you both!

Thank you so much for watching! I agree. Selling online allows us to reach customers and locations that we wouldn’t be able to do with a booth. I always say that we could never sell these items at the prices we do around where we live! I think being on the East Coast helps us with finding glassware, but I also see other sellers find items that we never see here. We spend a ton of money on our inventory and a significant amount of time finding it, which is why our prices are on the higher end. But, I think it’s worth it for the assortment we’re able to bring to the shop!
