Back To Work

Phew! Have you ever taken a vacation where you didn't realize how badly you needed it until you were away? That's what this past week was like. Though we didn't go very far - just rented a house about three hours away for the week - it still felt like a world away.

Thankfully not too far away though b/c I was actually reasonably busy with work. We had a number of requests for information which are pretty easy to handle but also got four orders in the course of the week which was a bit of a surprise. In fact right before I left a good friend of mine asked if I wanted her to be ready to ship out any orders while I was gone and I laughed it off thinking that I really wouldn't likely get an order while I was away. Especially this time of year since many retailers are holding off buying anything and trying to clear out their shelves before the Fall tradeshow season starts in a few weeks. So I was incredibly surprised to have those four orders come in last week.

During the course of the week the idea of that supposed open space in the neighborhood I love nagged at the back of my head so I finally figured out who owns/manages the space via the public tax records (thanks to my husband for helping me navigate that one) and left a message with them. I'm still thinking that all of this is fairly unlikely it will come to pass given the amount of improvements I would need to do but I figure I ought to follow it through to it's logical end for the timebeing.
