Learn A Lot: Taking a Second Look

January 23, 2017 by Auntie Kate of Too Good to be Threw

I love snapping quick photos to share with you in my Learn a Lot series. There’s so much imagination out there to inspire us all… but sometimes, even The Resale Guru needs to

take a second look.

I saw this wonderful little swing shop armoire in a vintage market and loved the signage, the tulle on the top of the (really, an old TV armoire….) and the lace and beads to emphasize the merchandise…

A swing shop can be an old armoire in your consignment, resale or thrift shop

but it took a closer look at my photos before I noticed the really, really, really good idea for consignment, resale, and thrift shoppers to use:

Gather a category up into an armoire "swing shop" says Auntie Kate of TGtbT.com

Did you catch it? Look again!

No need to rig up some sort of clothing rod inside the armoire… just plop a 2-way within and you’re good to go… that is, go nuts with your select little selection any time you want to fluff up the sales floor a bit!

(Tip: Now might be the right time to try this, and if you love the look so much you could line your shop in armoires, well take a look at my Pin here. )
