Auntie Kate The Resale Expert

Remember my post about making cute little “treasures” jars of bits-n-pieces you accumulate around your consignment, resale, or thrift shop?

Lot of viewers loved this idea but wrote to me saying they didn’t have enough.

Well, if you just have a few baubles around, and you are of a crafty nature, here’s a great tutorial on Cloth Paper Scissors that might inspire some relaxing, creative time for you.

And here’s where you can get a free e-book with 5 projects, including a hat to die for!

Not crafty yourself? Print out the ideas, and post them next to the treasure stashes you have for sale! Even if these jars don’t amount to much income-wise… it’s

a great way to show the public you truly believe in recycling, re-creating, re-imagining.

And what word-of-mouth… especially if you encourage the artsy purchaser to send you a digital photo of her creation to show on your blog!

Bragging about customer creativity is a fabulous way to build community for your business.

Another way to use bits-n-pieces.

You could turn this idea (and so many others) into a fund-raiser as well, whether you’re a NFP thrift or a for-profit….
