things to remember for ordering, next year

people STILL are looking for calendars and especially organizers and planners. i think this is a good thing.

ugh

welcome again, i really mean to update this, i do.

my least favorite part of the neighbors - that many of them smoke and they do this 3 feet from my door. sometimes they do this while standing in front of my door, watching me or looking into the shop. creepy! and smelly!

my most favorite part of the neighbors - that it is a sushi restaurant, and they do lunch specials, and they bring it over to me, and i get free soup, and they also make change when i run out of ones. so that's excellent.

ok it's january and it's sloooooooow. i was warned but this is ridiculous. now i know why december is so exciting for retailers. fortunately i'll have one good holiday (valentine's) for sales, and then spring clothes and stuff arrives and everyone gets in the mood again.

also i have time again to crank on my own jewelry orders and redo my website and prep samples to send to magazines and work on the taxes etc. so it's not like i'm idle...which is too bad cuz i don't even get to read the great, great books and zines i have brought in here! nor work on the overdue husband scarf!
