Monthly Productivity Post - February

Well I'll say I started out the year with a bang. Lots of motivation and lots of work going on. Then February hit, and I don't know, I just lost my steam I suppose. Or maybe I should blame it on the short month. I mean really I had less days to get work done. 

Let's not even talk about my lack of blogging...maybe I was a tad bit ambitious when I started this ole blog. Or maybe I'm a tad bit unorganized with my time. Either way, it was a short month.

So, let's just see what I was up to this past month.

Selling vintage is probably my favorite part of my job. Not a strenuous job by any means...maybe that's why I like it so much.

This sweet table sold crazy fast. Loved just adding the pop of color on the legs.

All but white still available in my booth.

Always trying to knock out some chalkboards.

What's with me and this turquoise? There isn't a drop of it in my own home, but I'm so happy you all snatch it up for yours!

Most of these goodies still available.

Fun Fact: My house consists of almost no painted furniture. You'd think I'd be all green, white, and turquoise chippy around here, but I'm not. I'm pretty vintage to the core up in here!

Oh yes, and then I started selling some fun clothing and accessories in February. That definitely kept me hopping and running to the post office. I still have lots of cute stuff available over here! You can also buy from elylaneshoppe on IG. I haven't quite decided if this is something I will continue to do. Comment if you'd love to see another round of pretty stuff up for sale this month!

So I suppose I wasn't a complete failure, but I want to amp it up a bit for this next month. Plus I'll have 3 extra days, so I'm sure that'll make all the difference!

Monthly Productivity Post - January

Of course with the new year upon us, I started out with a vigor to get things done on a weekly basis, most of this being business related. Since I closed my store last year, I was doing shows on a monthly basis and was good at letting furniture pile up until the last minute, and then crossing them off my list. I currently have no looming dates on my calendar that require me to have a full booth. This requires me to depend on myself, and honestly, sometimes I'm not so dependable. So, I'm working away at clearing all the furniture out of our garage, one piece at a time. Some day, I will park in my garage! I'm also challenging myself to finish every piece I get by the next week when I go and buy more. This is really helping things out in my bank account and in the garage. It's a win win.

 I thought it might be fun to post what I worked on for the month, just to keep myself in check. So, here's January at a glance!

 Still available. Currently in my booth at the Dutch Village Market. 

 2-tier shelf and small table still available.

 White table still available.

 Turquoise table and cake plate still available.

This blanket and a couple others still available.

A custom order for cloth napkins.

Buy banners here or here.

I felt pretty good about what I accomplished this month on top of all of my day to day tasks. Excited to see what February holds! I'm hoping that I can stay on task and keep myself motivated all of 2014!

Did you feel you were more productive in January, because of your New Year's resolutions?
