I have known for awhile that my storage system for my purses was really flawed. Purses were getting squished, finding them was difficult at times, and one of the places I stored them was right next to a vent, so I was concerned about lint. So I did some internet research, and ultimately decided that shoe storage was the chepapest and most efficient way to go. I ultimately bought four of these shoe shelves from Target, each with 15 slots. I stacked them all up in the corner where I used to have a normal bookshelf full of purses. We bolted it to the wall.
I love it! Most slots can fit two purses, but a one style fits 3 to a slot, and one style only fits one to a slot. I don't have much more room left for more purses, but they are small enough that I could probably fit one or two in my dining room if necessary.
And I do plan on filling more! This is a shelf I bought last month specifically for storing in progress purses. I'm not even sure how many purses and wallets are cut out on this shelf! I'm having a slow time working through them, because I always have current orders, but it helps a lot to have them already cut out and interfaced.
Here's a fun toy I bought last month. I may not use it much for my business, but I already have a few ideas. It's a Silhouette Cameo, which is a cutting machine. I know I'll be using a lot for cutting out quilt appliques and Christmas gifts.
Here's something I made that I may use for the shop. I use these postcards to close the tops of my packages. I tried cutting out one, and I think it looks kind of cool!
Here is a collage of bridal orders for the last month or so. It was a busy month!
And here is a collage of individual purses that I added to my shop or made for custom orders this month.
And lastly, I hit a big milestone this month!
500 sales on Etsy since starting just over 2 years ago!
