I am motivated to down size my inventory as I get ready to work some full time contract work. Plus I could use some Christmas money as I don’t see me starting much before January at this point. I am slowly moving more inventory over to my SALE. I have a CLEARANCE category on Etsy and that is where you will find the markdowns. 20% off and many have free shipping. I have started featuring items in my social media and honestly, I have some cool stuff, My long term goal at this point is to downsize and get out of Smalls. I have not been to a thrift store in months and have not bought any Smalls at estate sales. I have backstock to add and will be taking things out to my space in the mall as things leave out there. If I have something not on sale and you want to negotiate, that is fine. I like bulk buys so if you want a few things that will get you a better price. I am planning to continue on with furniture and restorations but end the franticness of trying to ‘make a living’. I can’t physically process and sell what I need to do that I can make a respectable wage. Teenagers are crazy expensive. Every time I turn around my kids need hundred of dollars for this field trip or that band trip and guess what, I am only a few years away from 2 kids in college and I am starting to panic. This can not sustain our family and I need to get a real, paying job. And bonus if I can stockpile some money in a retirement fund while I am at it. So here I am, making a plan. Will see how this full time temp job goes cause if we all can handle it (including my mom who has to step up to be kid Uber after school), I may start my quest earlier than the year and a half I have given myself (kid #1 will be driving and then I am free). I love what I do. I am hoping and praying I can get a job related to what I am doing…..in some capacity. I have created a wonderful thing here and this year, I will probably beat $40,000 in sales, my biggest year yet. But it’s time to get off the hamster wheel and work for someone who values my time and compensates me for it. Self employment is not for the faint of heart or for those of us who need a steady income. It’s a constant juggling act. The good thing here is I can still operate in whatever capacity I choose! I choose to specialized in furniture restoration and will continue. I won’t care if a piece I pumped hundreds of dollars into is still waiting for a forever home in two years if I have a paycheck paying my bills. Things have changed. Etsy is far from reliable. Chairish is still growing but not as I have hoped. eBay has no respect for sellers. Making it alone is just impossible and selling local for me is not profitable. So here’s some things to tempt you. Come buy your gifts with me. I appreciate you! Check back often for updates as I may add more items as the month rolls on! Thanks as always for your support and for helping me be the best I can be! You guys trusting me to restore, source, ship and deliver your items have given me a wealth of experiences and expertise. 💗 Malissa

I am featuring sale items daily on my social media! Stay tuned for more as the days go on!

Giveaway promo, Black Friday promo updates

FUN CONTEST!

I am currently running a Giveaway promo and encourage all to apply!  I am 7 facebook LIKES from 300 and my blog is hovering around 50 followers (of which there is a small percentage of loyal readers and I THANK YOU for that!).  I am kind of sad that social media folks are quick for the hearts but not quick to follow along.  I do not pay for followers or any of the other gimmicks that go along with that so my small crew is here because they want to be.  THAT SAID, I am curious if I can snag a few more by offering a bribe of sorts!  I have a set of 4 Indian Kantha placemats that I would like to give away.  I sold out of the others and these were in my booth for a while.  They have a $30 retail value for the set.  I would love to send them to someone to enjoy!  Here is how it works.  Please sign up to follow my blog via my mailchimp which is the annoying pop up that comes up when you head to madmodworldvintage.com , which is my mailing list.  Then head to my facebook page at  facebook.com/madformodmalissa  and click LIKE.  Then send me an email malissa@madmodworldvintage.com so I add you to the drawing.  I am thinking that I will probably offer consolation prizes as well depending on the level of participation.  If you already follow both, please just send the email and you are in!  I know not everyone sees all Facebook posts so that is why I am hoping to get some more loyal blog readers because that is the best way to get all my info out.  DEADLINE TO ENTER IS THANKSGIVING!  I will draw the winner in the evening.  Please invite your MCM loving friends! 

HOLIDAY SALES

Booth 2R09 at Fleetwood Antique Mall, 14129 Fleetwood PA 19522 WED-SUN 10-6 OFFERING 20% INVENTORY for CASH SALES except anything marked FIRM THROUGH the month of NOVEMBER.  The only item I have currently marked FIRM is my Herman Miller rocking chair.  I plan on changing out some more items so please stop by if you have not checked it out in a while.  I have selected many lower price point gifts and items to feature so if you are in need of something for your holiday gift giving, don't forget to SHOP SMALL! 

ETSY SHOP Gift with purchase Black Friday through the holidays while supplies last!  I will throw a little special something in every box this holiday season!  I do have a coupon code active right now through midnight Thanksgiving night....15% off shopwide code PYREXSWAP.  Please feel free to use it to get a jump start on your holiday shopping!  Please do not use it on any furnishings I have listed ON SALE, but anything else goes.  This is a special thank you for being my loyal followers!  Use the code at checkout and I will enclose the special gift for you early!

EBAY SHOP I am currently featuring 3" and under HEN ON NESTS from our collection and a fabulous selection of pyrex!  Please stop by and check it out.  I also am able to offer CHOOSE YOUR BEST SHIPPING of the larger sets!  That's right!  I have been doing this long enough to know my way around getting the best shipping rates and so many sellers rip people off.  You will be able to choose from USPS and FED EX at 35% off rack rate.  Pick the best one for you!  Please make sure you check them both!  USPS will be cheaper for east coasters and mid westerners but south central and west coasters will need to use Fed Ex to get the best price.

CHAIRISH    I cross list my best furnishings on Chairish.  Although I will bus ship almost anything to save you money, I will also say, there are a few things that I feel would be best sent fully insured with white glove and chairish definitely has better shipping rates negotiated than what I or you could get on our own.  You can get an instant white glove quote on my chairish page!  If you are interested in larger furniture items and need shipping cross country, reach out to me and we can definitely discuss the options.  I want to save you money and if I can do that for you, I will!  In most cases, I have not actually packed and quoted an item and will only do so once a serious shopper contacts me.  I work to get you options fast! 

MadModWorldVintage Shop on Chairish

DELIVERIES  I am generally available currently on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays to schedule meet ups and deliveries in the region. 

I will continue to try to get most items packed and out the door within 24 hours as is what I am accustomed to and what my returning customers expect. 

I will be working on the next Herman Miller rocking chair this week as the base and shock mount supplies are en route to me as I write!  Expect it to be listed by the weekend if all goes well!   I am also trying to get as much fresh inventory listed as I can and will be adding more to the booth space in Fleetwood!
