Consignment Opportunity!

I was contacted last week by a fellow who is starting a shop called MADE in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Jackson Hole is a ski/mountain town which is also the southern entrance to the Grand Teton National Park and Yellowstone and sees as many as 3 million tourists just in the summer.
John, owner and artist behind Strapped Belts, asked if I would like to send some of my lightbulb vases and lightbulb fishbowls to him for his store, starting out on a consignment basis. He's asked several other artists from around the world and I am among the ones who have said yes.
The store officially opens on May 7th, but I will have all the items shipped to Wyoming by the 1st of May.
Once the store is on it's feet, all the consignment agreements will be switched to wholesale accounts (more of my cup of tea) and all I'll have to do is sell my items to the store!
This could be a wonderful opportunity!

  1. Congratulations! That sounds like an amazing opportunity :)

    If you are interested in doing wholesale, I am sure that your items would do well in Traverse City, Michigan. The National Cherry Festival is held there every year, and it's kind of a big deal. I know that you could find a shop that would be happy to sell your stuff!
