september is here

it's 2:58pm and the kids are starting to trickle by from the school down the street. ah, it is autumn!

long time no post. it's been a very busy summer. we got spectacular online press and it almost makes print press unnecessary...almost. people now can say "they saw me in Lucky" (and how does one get one of those stickers for the window, anyway?) and i hope to get into some gift guides in the next month or two.

actually i am a little terrified of gift guide press as it means that 1) i have to fulfill these orders, and i hate shipping 2) well into December when the shop itself is supposed to be busy.

my latest worries are - finding part time help ASAP, how to present Jill Bliss' artwork next month, ordering enough stuff for the internet sales, not completely alienating the husband with my shipping and packing stuff all over the house, and making some money this winter. i sure hope i am buying the right things.

i know i keep saying this but i really think this winter's jewelry collection is the last. i just have no time or energy to devote to it and it is sad and also i think makes me look bad.
