Rag Rescue's last day of new listings for a few weeks.

Tomorrow at the Rag Rescue website

So what am I going to do next week when there isn't any new listings, you might ask. 

Well I shall be busy making new scrappy parcels as I only have one left and some new scrapbags for a start. There are also loads of buttons to sew onto cards. I have a huge mountain of sales to log into my spread sheets to keep the tax man happy etc etc etc.

Hubby has already started filling up our little walled garden with his restoration work. I can just squeeze around everything to water the flowers although the rain has helped me a great deal.
It has taken him three days to strip all the rust off the Victorian iron bedstead and there is still all of the polishing to do. The old firedog grate didn't take as long and the wonderful Paddington Street street sign looks wonderful now that it has been cleaned. I daren't show you the garage. The German table and chairs are staying of course, especially now that have been newly painted, just hope there is plenty of sun left at the end of August.
For those of you that regularly read this blog you will have guessed why our little house in Morecambe is a hive of activity - the fairs are looming but not for another 10 days so there is plenty of time to place your orders. More news on that front next week.

START SEWING WITH VINTAGE FABRICS


Find tomorrow listings by clicking

after 7am tomorrow morning.

Tomorrow is the last day of listing new items until the week beginning the 11 June.
I need to replenish my stocks now for the International Antique and Home fairs at Swinderby and Newark which start at the beginning of June.
More about those fairs in later posts.


As of this evening there are 1302 items on the website. Obviosuly a lot of them are sold as I haven't had time to delete them all. I'm always in a dilemma when it comes to deleting items. Do I leave a certain number on to show how popular the site is or do I clear the sold items at once to reduce the searching time. It is a tricky one.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on this, from both new customers browsing the site for the first time and those wonderful buyers who come back time and time again.

You will see some changes in the coming months which hopefully will help you to find your wanted items quicker and to see all of your favourites at a glance. I've got a brilliant web designer now who has ideas flowing as fast as a river.
