Garage Sale 9-30-23!

What are you doing next Saturday, September 30th? If you’re a bargain-loving papercrafter within driving distance of Morris County, New Jersey, we have a REALLY great suggestion!

WHAT: The famous Paper Anthology Papercrafters’ Garage Sale!

WHEN: Saturday, September 30, 2023 10am-5pm

WHERE: At Paper Anthology, 717 US Highway 46, Kenvil, NJ 07847 (<< click link for map!)

WHO: Thirty-two vendors… the most ever!

WHY: Because we all looooooooove bargains, right?!

BRING: Your own bag!!!

What amazing goodies will our THIRTY-TWO (yes, 32!) vendors be bringing along to this year’s Garage Sale? The only way to find out is to come to the sale; but seeing as we’ve set a new record for participation, we expect the selection of gently used items at bargain prices to be outstanding. If you’ve never been to Paper Anthology, this once-a-year event is definitely worth the trip! In addition to the garage sale goodies, you can also shop our amazing selection of brand new stamps, dies, stencils, paper, embellishments, paint, ink, embossing powder and pretty much anything else your papercrafting heart desires. There’s no need to bring cash, you’ll pay for all purchases at one time and we accept all major credit cards. Be sure to wear comfy shoes (there’s LOTS to see!) and please bring your own reusable bags. Just a reminder that this is one of the few days in our year that we don’t award punches on our Paper Anthology loyalty cards.

**********

If you’re a vendor and would like a Reminder of Vendor Info just click that bold text to access the original vendors post OR check your email for a message from Elisabeth, especially noting that we’re running a bit short on tables, so if you’re able to drop one off with your sale items, it’ll be much appreciated.

If you’re NOT one of this year’s vendors, we highly recommend using the button on the sidebar of this page to register for emails when the blog posts; we’ll never send you spam and you’ll be amongst the first to know when the call for vendors goes out next June for the 2024 sale. Plus, you’ll hear about our big TWELFTH Anniversary Party coming up in November, the minute we’ve set the date!

Garage Sale: Call for Vendors

SAVE THE DATE: The Paper Anthology Papercrafters’ Garage Sale will take place on September 30, 2023. If you’d like to be a vendor, please carefully read the rest of this post! Then, email elisabeth@paperanthology.com to reserve a spot and obtain your unique vendor number.

Vendor Information

1. Vendors need not be present at the sale, items from all sellers are displayed together, arranged roughly in categories, on tables inside and (weather permitting) outside Paper Anthology.

2. Each vendor will be given an individual number, which must be marked CLEARLY on all your items, along with the price you’ve set for that item.

3. Buyers will be able to pay for all their items in one transaction, and the amounts due to each vendor will be recorded at the register. At the end of the day, each vendor’s sales will be tallied and the total, less 5% vending fee, will be presented to you, the following week, in the form of a Paper Anthology Gift Card.

4. All sale items must be CLEARLY MARKED with your vendor number and your price. Yes, we already mentioned this in Points 1 & 2, but experience has taught us, it’s impossible to overstress the importance of clarity! If the cash register operator cannot decipher your price, they will have to GUESS. If they cannot decipher your vendor number, the sale will be recorded to Paper Anthology. We highly recommend un-smudge-able ink and nice sturdy stickers.

5. All prices must end in .25 cents, .50 cents, .75 cents or .00! If you have a bunch of items you’d like to price at .10 cents each, group them together in a little bag! (Grab bags and “collections” of miscellaneous paper or embellishments generally sell really well; we all love a “surprise” assortment, right?)

6. Sale items may be dropped off no earlier than the Saturday before the sale (9.23.23) and picked up no later than the Saturday after the sale (10.7.23).

May CCC: Home for Christmas

Join Elisabeth on May 12th for another edition of Paper Anthology’s Christmas Card Club: This sophisticated slimline card is brought to you by Impression Obsession– a beautiful serene image of a cottage in a  snow-filled forest, softly watercolored and shimmering with fresh fallen snow (you can’t tell in the photo, but there’s sparkly glitter all over!)

Christmas Card Club is the perfect solution for those of us who dread the prospect of mass-producing dozens of holiday cards in December! At each meeting, we’ll debut a brand new original holiday card design and pull together all the paper, embellishments and supplies you’ll need to make five cards of that design; all you have to do is show up and assemble them. A fun way to enjoy a crafty night out and get a jump on holiday card production… and dinner is included! New members are always welcome, but each date fills up FAST, so don’t hesitate. Please note that while the meeting starts at 5pm, you do not have to arrive by 5 – you should be able to complete all 5 cards, even if you can’t arrive until later.

Cost is $25 and includes dinner. Email elisabeth@paperanthology.com today to reserve your place. Please bring your basic kit and a little holiday spirit!

It’s a Big BLOOMIN’ Sale (With a Twist!)

We call it Flower Frenzy and you can take 25% OFF any product in the store which features at least ONE FLOWER! So what does that cover? Flower stamp sets like Altenew, Penny Black and Pinkfresh? (Of course!) What about a cute Lawn Fawn set that has ten mice and one flower? (Still counts!) Patterned paper with flowers? (Uh-huh!) Flower dies and stencils? (Certainly!) Paper flowers? (Obviously!) Aha, but what about Inks, paints and embossing powders though, it can’t cover those, right? Yes, it can…If they have a flower name like Tattered Rose Distress or Rosey Posey Archival (Hint: MANY of the Wendy Vecchi inks have flower names and lots come in both Dye and Archival formulas!) What about leafy stamps and dies? Ok no, those would not count, ’cause it’s a Flower Frenzy, not a Foliage Frenzy. Basically, if it LOOKS flowery or it SOUNDS flowery, it’s 25% off! There are waaaaaaaay too many items to mention as examples, so you should probably just stop by and see how many you can find!

The fine print: Sale starts Thursday evening at 5pm (4/20) and runs through Saturday evening (4/22) at 5pm and applies to in-stock, in-store purchases only; clearance items are excluded. No loyalty card punches will be given on sale-priced items. Paper Anthology cannot provide allergy medication for flower-related allergies, but we do have tissues. Hope to see you at the sale!
