Our "Pre-loved Baby goods" business has really been busy this week. We have taken over $700 in sales with people just flowing in every day. It's about the best week we've had- and with no advertising. We even had a couple from Bingara come in to buy something. at times we've had three or four different customers in the church at once.
We've also sent a load of stuff on consignment to a shop in Walgett. Gaye Scutt's daughter, Jacinta, owns a video shop there and had heaps of space available. They have started selling toys which just sell like hot cakes as there is no toy shop there, so Gaye thought that she might like to try some of our baby gear to complement the toy business. So Margaret pulled out a few things which she thought might look good on display in a shop, and of course other people coming in thought that they would like those items so we sold them and pulled the next lot of things out to send off. Anyway, it's over $1000 of stuff and we are fairly confident that they will sell quickly.
God is really blessing us abundantly in the money department at the moment.
I don't know what it all means but we will receive it all joyfully!
UPDATE: Jacinta rang this evening to tell us that she sold a cot and a change table before she even got them into the shop! We are going to have to scale up this enterprise quite massively I suspect.
Well, congratulations!! So nice to see such a ministry doing well. My daugher told me she was just visiting a similiar shop, she and her husband are expecting a little girl in September and she's busy getting tiny clothes. They expect the baby to be very small, as they are delivering the baby early so she's looking at "preemie" clothes!
ReplyDeleteWe generally don't sell baby clothes. Margaret usually has hundreds of clothes in every size and we give them away when we find people in need.
