Well, here it is almost that time. We are nearly finished with the interior remodeling on “the Shop” and pretty soon we will be in to lay on some color and put up signs. Now, it’s time to reach out to all our friends to start spreading the word! As you may very well know by now, The HodgePodgery is located on the corner of 3rd and Herr in the Historic District of Midtown Harrisburg, PA. We will be focusing on recycled, repurposed functional arts and crafts. Trash to treasure, you might say! Consignors are signing on, and diligently working on their wares. Business partners are getting there info together, and making sure everything is ready to go. Notices such as this email are being sent to our many contacts for forwarding, posting and passing along. All is going fairly well, thus far. Yes, opening dates have scooched back a bit as reality sets in, but all in all from concept to today is 7 weeks. Not too shabby!
A small favor we ask of you, our friends, consignors, business partners and potential customers is this: Tell anyone and everyone about our venture. We are looking for crafters and artists to consign wares that are made from recycled, repurposed and functional. Furniture, Housewares, Garden, Toys, Clothes, Jewelry, Pet Goods etc. We will offering cool things that you yourself would buy, although not your everyday “average” item. We are interested in Handmade Local Goods as well as nifty things made from “found” objects. We are considering foodstuffs as well, pending what we need from the city to do so. We already have some incredible consignors on board and look forward to being a source for unique, affordable goodies. In addition to the retail sales, a big part of being The HodgePodgery will be to offer classes and space for artists and crafters to come in and work, or just hang out and exchange ideas. We want our consignors to enjoy success as they sell their wonderful, lovingly made products.
Consignors: We will be able to accept product starting Tuesday June 23. All consignors that were not at the First Crafting Call, please drop me a line at hodgepodgestudio@gmail.com so I know to expect your agreement in the mail, or that you will be bringing it in person with your first batch of products. Please remember that you are responsible for pricing your own wares. We will keep a close eye on sales as to be able to give you input on pricing. We want to keep in close contact with our HodgePodgerists.
Networkers and Business Partners: Please make sure your contacts have our info! We would LOVE to talk to them! We look forward to becoming a valuable source of information for entrepreneurs, as well as being part of the many networking groups in Central PA. We want to be involved with the community as well as for the community to be involved with us.
DATES TO REMEMBER We will generally be at the shop off and on between June 22 thru July 16th, but please call to make sure.
Our GRAND OPENING WEEK is July 21st thru the 25th when we kick off our official open for business hours of Tuesday thru Saturday 10am to 7 pm.
Again, thank you so much for passing this info along!
