Furniture and More--Week of September 19

We just got back from a buying trip and have some nice furniture items in the store--several solid maple Tell City items including a hutch, floor lamp, counter stool, footstool, and a small pedestal table.  Also, mahogany end tables, and very nice solid oak Virginia House corner cupboard, solid walnut storage chests, and many small items.  I will be putting blinds up this week--mainly in the mornings--and will be gone on Thursday--otherwise I will be in the shop sorting, cleaning, and setting up.  See you....

Internet Shopping

A beautiful week in Wisconsin!  Along with beautiful 'almost fall' weather should be lots of Rustic Shop customers--unfortunately, even on a busy highway, that's not the case.  Traffic off the highway is very minimal, so I am not going to try to post weekly hours--I haven't done a very good job of it anyhow.  Most of my business come from internet sales--ebay and craiglist listings.  I post larger items on either Madison or Dubuque craigslist and I always use "Montfort WI" in the location.  I am trying to get to the point of using this site--or my website--www.somanblinds.com-- to list larger items.  I have a nice Lionel Train collection that I hope to inventory and start selling in a few weeks.  I will post it on here plus in some local papers.  We are also hoping to restock our furniture inventory which is getting low.  So, business is moving along, but just adjusting to the current trends of shopping.  As always, feel free to call me if you are in the area and I will try to be open.  Thanks, Dan
