I thought January was the month where I could catch up? Where has it gone and why are things so chaotic and busy??? And by busy, I mean the behind the scenes stuff...lots of stuff in the works...new blog home, upgraded my merchant account...which required an in depth application process and business review...as it turned out, they believe in my growth, yay!!!! I am dreading, but am investigating a more involved system, which will be a great deal of work up front...but less programming for me in the future shopping cart. I have received the first few calls on my snazzy new 866 number...that's toll free people! Oodles of samples and borrowed pieces have been pouring out of the studio...to magazines, tv shows and celebs...and that's all I can say about that for now...but I am so jittery from it all that I have to share with those who care enough to come here and read about the behind the scenes stuff in the first place. I also just sent off an order to another new wholesale account today...woo hoo! I have also been having conversations and meals with people that have the knowledge to help me grow to whole new heights, and big heights at that...which all together sends me flailing helplessly back forth from ecstatic to terrified...hmmm what else...oh yes, I am teaching another week long jewelry seminar at my alma mater in 6 weeks, very excited about that and have been starting to plan it out! Through all of this I have also been hard at work on the Spring Line which will out later then I expected but while there is still snow on the ground here in the Hudson Valley!
How am I dealing with all of this you ask? Well I go to my "day" job on the week ends where I get to chat with people, feel very accomplished within the instant (or with a 5 hour shift) gratification world of managing a fine dining restaurant...and I get to dress up...which brings me to a random fact... I wear skirts and dresses all summer long...I tend to wear a pretty boring jeans + cashmere sweater all winter and this had to stop...this past fall I vowed to wear dresses and skirts as often as I could this winter and after a couple of months of black tights and stockings...I found mecca last week...colored tights!!!! Holy happiness...an other wise conservative outfit turned bright with fuschia tights and red mary jane heels...I wish I had a phot, sorry...so I went online and searched and low and behold, I found oodles of colors...I ordered 4 to start, but see for yourself how great the colors are!
I am so excited to wear a skirt! In case you want yor own awesome tights: Ok, back to work missy...
