the guide to shopping found on line....

it's finally here! a way to shop FOUND on line from anywhere in the U.S. (and international if you are willing to pay the shipping :) )

there are a few struggles with a store like ours and selling on line which we had to work around.

- vintage is one of a kind
- there is only three of us and maintaining an ecommerce website might end us. physically lol
- we sell alot of furniture and custom pieces.

the solution?

facebook!

(thank you mark z)

from now on when we post a picture on our website that is eligable for the online buying option we will say:

description, size, measurements (if necessary), quantity and price.

if you would like to purchase the item say,

bag and ship it! (if you would like to have us ship it)
bag and i'll pick it up (if you would like to pick it up in store)

wait!? how do you pay for it?

in order to bag it, you need to fill out a shopping account on our facebook page.

all data is stored in a secure server and will never be shared with ANYONE!

all items will be charged and ship on fridays. that way if you buy multiple things throughout the week you will only be charged shipping once.

lets do an example? pretend this is a facebook post:

lovely vintage inspired shoulder bag! Dimensions: 12x8x5. I have 2 left! $48

Abigail Hoppen Albers: I love this bag! Bag and Ship it Please!
Sally Bag Buyer: I love this bag too! Bag and i'll pick it up Please!
Timmy Too Late: I want this bag for my wife! Bag and Ship it Please!
Found: Abigail, Sally, We will run those Friday. Timmy, sorry I only have two. I will add you to our re order list!


see how fun that was?!

let's try another!

i'm loving this super cute end table! it's vintage so only 1! it is 34 high, 20 wide and 20 deep $109

Tonya Table Collector: I love this! It would fit perfect in my bedroom! Bag and I'll pick it up please!
Stephan Squirrel Lover:  Hey is that squirrel for sale?
Found: Tonya got your order we will charge you and hold it for pick up. Stephan Squirrel is vintage and $29.
Stephan Squirrel Lover: Bag and ship please!
Found: Sure thing Stephan, it's a little heavy though, Shipping will be $11, is that okay?
Stephan Squirrel Lover: Sure thing!

transitions

like ryann said yesterday...you may not agree with me... but i'm ready for fall.

this summer has been great but it's been hot and call me crazy but i don't MIND the snow (as long as it is over by march).

if you read my personal blog (www.binksandthebadhousewife.com) you would know that my husband put the smack down on me about our fiscal spending plan. (i hate the word budget, ick)

i'm a gal on a fiscal spending plan and i am always shopping for clothing that i can wear from season to season.

this is an emily and fin dress from the shop. it's great in the summer with nothing but a pair of flip flops and a simple necklace.

emily and fin megan dress $83

but i totally think you could pull this dress off into late fall.

my go to transitional accessories: tights, loafers and cardigans.

the sleeves on this dress are perfect for a cardigan, no ruffles no embellishments so there won't be any bulging under your sweater.

i just re read that and it sounded dirty. woops.

something like...


or to really shake thing up...

if the whole cardi thing aint yo style you could always go from underneath

nothing is classier than a crisp white blouse layered with well..anything!



i have an order in for all of the colors in the rainbow for tights coming early september!

thus concludes the layering for transitions lesson for the day.
