I didn't realize just how long it had been since my last posting!!! Soooo much has changed, that I don't know where I should even begin.
I've moved my store, in April this year, in with another business. It's ok, but I want my own space and I am beginning the search. I can't imagine going thru that much work again! Whew, the move in April only served to show me just how old I'm getting! Alot will depend on the space and my enthusiasm with it. This move was strictly for business: I needed to get out of that old, run down environment, since it was getting me run down. It was at the point where I found it depressing. The new place, at least, is bright and clean, and much newer, and I am getting business. So that's a good thing, and that's what I try to concentrate on.
I have loads of ideas of things that I would like to do, but for reasons that I will not get into, can't do in my present location. I have faith that since I ended up in the space I originally wanted to be in, and at a savings to me to boot, that I will find the perfect spot.
My skill sets are beginning to expand, and I am making more tinctures and tea blends, plus I have a HUGE amount of ideas for the Christmas season. Since I make a lot of my inventory, I also have the realization that I have a lot of work to do. Maybe it's a good thing, since I seem to really do well under enormous pressure. I have a sewing project this week for my Ren Faire friend, and I think I will start that tomorrow. He doesn't have my full attention this year as he did last, since this year, I actually have customers!!! LOL!!! I hope he's understanding! I have lost of holiday things that I want to make, and pot pourri that I want to blend. This is the really fun part of owning my own business, but the timeclock is a-ticking and I still have my books to do...ugh...I think I'm going to have to break down and buy the Quicken app.......bookkeeping can be a real drag!!!
Anyhow, thought I'd post so that I can get back in the swing of things.
I published the first Herbal Newsletter from LWH today.....one more task to add to the monthly list!!! Whew, I'll have to start taking my Ginseng regularly for the engery it brings me!
I'm off to bed right now, as I'm tired from an extremely busy day!
