well it was quite a weekend. i had my two best days so far, which was great. derek and i celebrated with some really quite good sushi.
and then i got home while he went off to Pratt to photocopy something. one of our two guinea pigs has been sick for some time. last night she really was looking awful, and she passed away a couple hours after i got home. oh, the crying. today i woke up and forgot that anything good had happened at all. the sun is shining and it's my day off and halloween and i don't feel like doing anything at all.
anyway. i am developing some odd shopkeeper's guilt from not being everywhere at all times, instead being cooped up in the store all week. i am still getting used to "going to work" as it has seriously been about 4 years since i've had to do so. i need to learn patience, and pacing, and to hold onto the optimism. i need to thoroughly enjoy being where i'm at, and then i will be okay.

Hi, rena! This is Kpoene' Kofi-Bruce from Mignonette. My collective, the Ladies Independent Design League, is planning on making a field trip to come visit you. We are so excited that you've opened a store - you're like a role model to us! and the blog is pretty fantastic too, because I've been thinking of starting a store and I'm really frightened! but you took the plunge, which is awesome, and inspiring. and it's nice to see a fellow californian make good. where are you from?
hi kpoene! yay yay can't wait for the visit! i am from northern cal (sacramento) but most recently was in oakland. opening the shop was the craziest thing i have done, ever, but so far i still love it.
Hi, Rena--
Just wanted to say I'm sorry about your guinea pig ... we get so attached to our "little ones", don't we?
Your blog is great--it's very interesting watching your journey. You go, girl!
