If you have been in The Barn over the last couple of weeks you may have noticed that things look a little different than normal. There are a lot more sold pieces than normal and even a few empty spaces. We always have lots of extra inventory to bring in at The Barn, and as items leave we bring in new ones, that’s why The Barn is always packed. But safety measures we have in place for covid19 and the prolonged heatwave have slowed us down a bit, things are taking a little longer than normal. We have had an incredibly busy month of July and we are having a little trouble keeping up with demand. Sales have been much higher than we expected since we reopened. We are not complaining, with so many businesses struggling right now it’s a wonderful problem to have. Be assured we are getting the sold pieces out and bringing new items in as quickly as we can. The Barn will be packed again soon. The good news is that there will be lots of new arrivals in the weeks to come.
