The EP Designs clearance sale opened today. I was hoping to get these photos up earlier in the day but it has been a busy day. 

I’m combining this post with  Pink Saturday so I can share with my Pink Saturday friends the pink decorative home wares included in the sale. Some of these items have been posted on previous Pink Saturdays but some haven’t.

 

In the past all my sales & exhibitions were held inside my home. The lounge & dining rooms would be converted into a little ’boutique’ where family, friends, friends of friends, neighbours & customers would be invited to attend.

This year for the first time the sale was set up in the garage – not as pretty and far from a  boutique look but I had to give it a try. It’s definitely a lot easier setting up in the garage …. and it did work quite well. I can now leave it all set up until next Saturday … and our lounge room is free for us to relax in.

All tablecloths, runners, throws & bags were set up in the family room – the only part of the house used for the sale. We love to sit, chat & drink copious cups of coffee or tea with customers. I don’t have any photos of this but hopefully will be able to snap a few shots next week.

If you live in Melbourne or are visiting Melbourne next Saturday 28th November and would like an invitation to attend, please contact me here and I’ll post an invitation to you.

There are also many wonderful entries for Pink Saturday which is hosted by Beverly at How Sweet The Sound. Take time to visit participants’ blogs and see how Pink  everyone’s Saturdays can be.

Happy Pink Saturday Everyone!

  2. It looks lovely and such a good idea to be able to keep it set up. A lady in Perth used to do this and I loved attending. But she charged a small fee for food & drink & had lovely tables in her garden to sit at with your friend. It was very popular. I’m sure you will sell lots.

  3. Having held sales in my home too – I know what you mean about how much less fuss it is to set up in the garage! Enjoy the rest in your loungeroom and good luck with your sale! Thanks for dropping by. Ange

  4. Everything is so lovely, Elena – how I wish I lived in Melbourne! Hope your sale goes well. Happy Pink Saturday and thank you for the birthday wishes!

  14. Hi Elena~Beautiful things! I love the idea of a Boutique in your garage. You’ve really done a nice job of setting it up and displaying everything. Wish I could come and shop there. I really love your vintage suitcase sets and the ones you decorated with “Paris” and the Eiffel Tower, wow! There are so many pretty things. I’d be broke but I’d sure come away with some lovely items.
    Blessings~
