Seton Store Adventures

       Hi guys! I had another fun and productive week at the Seton Store. On Wednesday, I was able to do Jewelry again which was exciting because I hadn't worked with jewelry since the incident from a previous blog post. I am not pricing the jewelry now, which is fair, but I spent a majority of my day on Wednesday tagging the jewelry and reorganizing so it is more accessible when we need to restock that section. I included an older picture of the necklaces in this blog because I forgot to get a newer picture. It was the same premise though, you can see that all of the necklaces get hung together with clips on a clothes hanger. This allows the necklaces to get tangled as little as possible.            Now onto the Christmas stuff... We have a lot of Christmas products so we have been working to get as much on the floor as possible. It looks like the Seton Store is almost exclusively a Christmas store because there are now two shelves...

This week, me and Kaitlyn helped to set up and create the Giving Tree the Seton Center runs every year. The premise is that all the tags on the tree represent things we are accepting as donations for a charity. On Tuesday, me and Kaitlyn set up the tree (almost all by ourselves..), which was a big undertaking and took us quite some time. On Wednesday, I wrote on all the ornaments the items that we were collecting for donations. Those items were gloves, scarves, throw blankets, adult coloring books, hats, hoodies, and sweatshirts. I loved walking into the store and seeing my handwriting on the tree the next day because I can physically see my impact on the store.      I was writing last week about how I hoped that we would consider donating some of our surplus of items such as gloves, hats, and scarves. Hearing about the Giving Tree program this week seemed like an answer to my post from last week. Knowing that we do actually contribute and help put on a drive fo...

       This week, I spent time organizing the winter supplies such as hats, gloves, and scarves. There were at least 5 boxes filled with different winter clothes. I rearranged it for quicker access and resupplying and separated them into different boxes for gloves, hats, and scarves. This is the first time I've seen a big surplus of a certain item because we had so many scarves. While I was doing this, I was thinking about how we have so much of these items and a low demand, and I was wondering if there would be a place that these items would be more beneficial, such as at a homeless shelter. I know these are very much in demand for the homeless population, and while it is beneficial to offer these at a low price at our store, it could be more helpful to donate at least some of our supply to shelters. We donate a lot to the Frederick Rescue Mission, so I think it would be very helpful if we were able to donate some of our hats, gloves, and scarves to them. Organizing...
