I hope this will be a quiet week. Last week was a little intense preparing for a large closet installation and then getting it installed on Friday. Online sales are up right now so I am content to pack and ship this week. I also have a custom order butler tray that I am working on for a repeat customer. Time in the shop when there are no pressures or deadlines is something I rarely get to experience.
I’m also listing my entire inventory on Etsy in anticipation of Black Friday. I usually list three or four items each day, but still have a lot of items to go. These are products that were hot sellers at my shows this fall, but have never been listed online. I never felt that I needed to sell them online because I keep selling out at shows. I replenished my stock after the last show and now it’s time to see what they do will do online. They are mostly face grain boards of different sizes and wood combinations.
In 28 years, our family has never had Thanksgiving at our home. We have always spent this holiday out of state at one of two different relative’s homes. We are staying home this year, so I am cooking my first turkey for my family. I’m use to going to relatives and kicking back all day, but now I get to work this year preparing a meal that I have never done before. Actually, it’s the clean up I hate. But, maybe if I take a nap after the meal, it will all go away by itself. Happy Thanksgiving!!
