Reconstructing the Website

I have spent the day reconstructing the website.  Well, except for the time I took a short nap.  Hey, it's Sunday!  This is such a long and tedious process.  I just can't seem to get to the point that I'm satisfied with it. Can't decide if I should keep some pages, get rid of them?  Dividing my store into categories which each have their own page (that is what is taking the longest).  I have also added albums.  I want the end result to be an easy to navigate site that is welcoming and interesting.

I've even thought about deleting the website altogether and just using my blog or my Facebook page.  What are your thoughts?

I would love to hear suggestions from you.  What you would you like to see in a website that is about and sells antiques, vintage, etc.?

Still Around...or Back Rather

                                             

I know this is a Christmas picture but since I missed Christmas and New Year's on my blogs I'm sort of still in holiday mode. And I love Christmas and try to drag it out as long as I can!!  This is one of the bows I made for one of our trees.  Everything you see was purchased at the Dollar Tree! :D 

It's been a long few months.  With sickness (strep throat, pneumonia, stomach bugs, migraines, broken bones-my family likes to keep it interesting), vacation then the holidays and traveling for the holidays.  Whew!  We were only home three days over the holiday break.  Long enough to unpack from our trip to Orlando, do laundry, celebrate Christmas at our house, repack and hit the road again to visit my in-laws in Cincinnati.  It was a fantastic Christmas though!  We got to enjoy 80 degree, sunny weather at Disney World with the kids and then the kids got to play in 12+ inches of snow and go sledding the next week in Cincinnati.  It was a blast! 

But now it's time to get back to business!  Time to really dig into my inventory and start listing, listing, listing! So over the next week or so hopefully you will start to see the store growing.  I have already made a few minor changes to the website Annies Eclectic Finds, mostly cosmetic but some changes in the policies you might want to check out.  Also, be sure to notice that when you hover over the link for the store page on the site you will see additional links appear to your right with other categories.  It is hard to see and I'm working on how to fix that.  I'm not sure there is a way to change that.  If not then I will make each category it's on page instead of a sub-page to the store.

I can't wait to have more inventory added to the store for you to see!  I'm also excited to show you some things I brought home from Cincinnati.  My mother-in-law had been keeping a few things stored away for my husband for quite a few years and decided to send the home with us this time.  We brought home a set of beautiful fine china his grandmother had left to him as well has some blue mason jars, antique salt & pepper shakers, glasses, Mikasa goblets and crystal candle holders.  For our vintage collection we know have my husbands AM/FM Pioneer Radio, still in working condition!  It is a gorgeous piece.  He says sell it...I'm still debating.  (You know I want to keep everything!)  I think it would look awesome in our house since I still have my floor model AM/FM, 8 track, 45 player (also in working condition).  Pictures of all to follow soon!

Until next time...happy finding!!
