The first potential buyer for the white dresser arrived. She had messaged to say that she would stop and take a look at it.
As she approached it, I could tell it was not what she wanted. She talked about the blue room she wanted it to go into, but maybe the drawers weren’t deep enough, but it was the right height bla, bla, bla.
She promised that she would check a few things once she got home, and get back to us, which she didn’t.
We can usually tell within the first few seconds if a person is excited with the furniture piece in front of them. This was proven by the second lady who turned up. As soon as she got out of her car she was smitten.
We finished the second dresser, the one where I had to get rid of the swirl marks left by the sander. We brought it inside to photograph, and Kelli posted it straight away.
For the rest of the afternoon her phone was pinging with activity. Needless to say we sold that one very quickly and will deliver it tomorrow.
It had rained overnight, and in the morning there was a fine drizzle, that reminded me of my family summer holidays. For two weeks we’d be crammed into a small caravan at the coast looking out at the rain. The insistent drizzle that hung over the site, made for a depressing time, although I did get to read a lot of books.
