NEW NAME FOR THE SHOP? maybe

ok, so for a while now ive just ben trying to find something generic enough,a nd cachy enough to have ppl remember in the name of the store, name will be something that  will remind ppl where to come and get stuff...

so, today as i was sorting through some clothes i had gotten from an online connection on Facebook, it came to me the name should be:
PINK & BLUE or BLUE & PINK

i asked on Facebook on a status update and got PINK & BLUE, as well as another name i have to thgink about. BLINK (well, Baby Blink)
so i asked what was the word BLINK for? what was the reason it was there?
(BL)ue/P(INK) which i liked seeing, but not sure that would come across in the name itself.

went to a cubscout blue & gold banquet and asked a couple of ppl what they thought and they liked :PINK & BLUE as a name.

its simple, has a meaning, and it  relates to babies.

now, im trying to design business cards for this name.
my store will have to be decorated in said colors, just to reflect the  name, or, at least soft muted baby tines of all the colors, and  the accents for the store in pink & blue.

this is my 1st idea for a business card.

of course theres still things to do to it, like make a facebook page, and connect that
decide if i want my email to be attached to this or not.

and thats besides sorting, and organizing, and still getting the things i NEED to have the store even be open.
id LIKE to take a pic of said  space, so i can have something to look at and dream about and make plans with, but we forget to go on saturdays, and sundays has a block of church attached to it for 3 hours. and we forget then as well.

ill get there, even if its not a physical store and is only a web store (i could sell everything i have right now on ebay and make a fortune!) i have some supplies to start with, and thats a beginning!

MY 2 BOXES I WAS WAITING ON WAS DELIVERD

 

of you lok really close at the bottom of the image is my PC mouse. i  wanted that in the pic to give a size reference for these boxes, which went light, either, by the way.

ive looked through both, and counted out...141 separate items in them!!

all for 100.00!!!

that averages to 1.41 per item! so i make a profit if i sell it for more than a buck and a half.

3 bucks an item, and i have made my money back and double for each thing.

and if im lucky, tomorrow ill have another box with maybe 100 items in it, who knows. so, im going to have to sort through sizes of items, and ill make sure i update with pics of hat i actually have and what not.

MY 'OTHER' ONLINE ORDER STATUS

well, looks like the box ive been waiting on the longest, is in Dallas.
i should get it tomorrow i guess.

put in for this on the 3rd, had to wait for MRB to come back from a trip for her to send it off, and its taken the longest, with 2 other orders , one from a web site, and the other from an independant seller on Facebook, arriving BEFORE This one has.

i have to THANK the internet, for making my life feel so much more balanced so, i can watch a delivery cross the country.

as i think about that, im not sure why this one didnt just stop in Oklahoma...went to a state further UNDER me, than i actually needed to, eh..thats our tax dollars at work, i guess, seems pointless to waste that much gas on a box of baby clothes, when this thing could have been at my door a fw days ago had it just went straight to me....but what do *I* know?!?!?! (lol)

will have to do the same for these as the others, and sort them all when i get them.
organize other items, if i have baby bottled and such, have to make sure anything outside of a sealed package is stricktly for reborn dolls, and not for sale for an actual infant.
just for sanitary reasons alone.
i just dont feel right about doing it that way, if ppl want to buy baby bottled and pacifiers, they can buy them sealed in a package, i intend to have that as well in there, just because some ppl with dolls want a real thing, unmodified, or altered, and if they do, so will real moms with real babies (hopefully)

so, this should arrive tomorrow, while my other package will come today.

:)

ONLINE ORDR OF BABY CLOTHES IS IN TOWN !!

didnt take too long for this one to arrive to me, thankfully!
cant say the same for the other order im STILL waiting on arriving to my door.

 

edited the tracking number so the image couldnt be used by anyone who may want to go in and claim its theirs, when it isnt.

so, that wont happen, of course i COULD have just deleted that entire thing, but then i felt like the image would look photoshopped, and it isnt, its edited with microsoft paint, and all i did was cut every other section of 5 numbers , and then texted over it with "*"

i really shouldnt have to explain that, but someones gonna ask, and thats your answer.

so, by, maybe 3:30pm ill have this at my door.
ill take pics of each item, just because there may be details on the clothes id like to highlight. i often like making sure the item is profiled nicely!

but here what i compiled from the sellers images she shared with me (as a rmeinder, because i have another blog about this up already on here)

so, all of this is in the box, plus a few more she has told me about.
biggest part of this endevor will be to sort through them all and organize them by size.

ive been doing that with the clothes i have already. so when i open shop, ill have everything ready to just go up and be ready to be looked at and purchased.

ive been trying to figure out a way to designate in a store clothing sizes.

ill have some
MICRO PREEMIE
PREEMIE
0-3
3 months
3-6months
6 months
6-9monhs
9 months
9-12months
12 months
and bigger even

but i need a clean (meaning organized) way of having them all be able to be looked at and just know thats the size your looking for...ive thought about colored hangers, but im not sure theres enough colors, and the investment would be outrageous for as much as i think ill have to hang up..

colored tags?
i like the way walmart does their size selections, they have the hangers with little tags on them in different colors.
im not sure how much that would cost, or exactly where to get those at. ill have to look.

so much more to deal with than just getting the clothes. *sigh*

what this blog is for

i have an idea to run a small baby boutique, reslae, handmade items, reborn doll store.

yes all that, and most likely more than that even..

baby clothes resale, brand new
handmade items:
 blankets
 beanies
 bonnets
 booties
reborn dolls
and everything that comes with them.

so, to start i need supplies and a local

found the local
now..need the supplies

ive been buying baby clothes from ppl online through FB
awaiting an order right now, for just under 100 items for just over 1 dollar a piece.
was told id have that sent before the young lady left for a small visit at someones home she went to.
she left, i was still awaiting my package.
she came home and it was presidents day monday, and still no package was sent
todays wednesday and im ....still waiting.

had another person i was supposed to hear back from about the  shipping cost for all her items..
she hasnt gotten back to me yet.

so, while i build up the inventory by shopping thrift stores and  buying lots online..
i have to find places for the STORE stuff...

so this blog will hold all that stuff i have found, links to where they are and what prices they were found in..
