you know the lyrics….
“All my bags are packed I’m ready to go
I’m standin’ here outside your door…..”
and I’m excitedly waiting to take the elevator to the 2nd floor..
***********
The minute you step off the elevator you’re in the HEADQUARTERS of CJS Importers, wholesale distributor of all things metal, glittery and vintage owned by father/daughter
Carl Schimel * Elyse Schimel
and…. you’re in the land of boxes…floor to ceiling boxes…
are you looking for pearls? Swarovski crystals? chain? brass?metal ?…it’s all there…you have all day to look through the boxes and navigate your way around all the clutter but you can’t get in without a wholesale/resale tax ID, so don’t rush there without these.
also….be prepared to get dirty & dusty and step over all sorts of glittery stuff !
cause it’s EVERYWHERE !!!!
what would I do without my trusty helper/schlepper !!
The Lenster could reach all those hard to get to places
the staff is packin’ up and getting our order ready for purchase…
you buy by either the gross or the pound..I took home a ton of vintage crystals…it took my breath away !
and, because we were clever enough to bring along a small suitcase, we didn’t have to lug the 30 pounds of “STUFF” around Manhattan !
we got back on the train
and began unpacking it all when we got home
I only showed you a tiny portion…It’ll take days to sort it all out.
Life is such a GLITTERY hardship !!!
