We came, we saw, we conquered one if the busiest shopping weekends of the year. We even managed to get new product on the shelves as well as scrubbing all the floors and tables in the back. So, the new Basic Grey BLUSH is on the shelf, new Chatterbox Doodling Genies and the new K and Co Memory Trends release!
Good news! The guy next door is GONE! Moved, see ya, outta here, adios, bye! The landlord should give us the keys soon and we will be getting started on our expansion. The next month or so is going to be CRAZY, but the new store will be so AWESOME. Lots of plans, lots of lime green paint in our future!! Thanks for being so encouraging as we start our next big adventure. Our customers are wonderful, caring and so supportive. Thanks for all you do for us, you make us feel like family. Thanks for all the offers for painting, I know who you are and you better answer the phone when I call! If anyone has an "Uncle Mario" in the carpet business, let me know. We would LOVE to carpet the store soon.
I have trying to upload (unsuccessfuly) the photo of the Quickutz rep who is coming to visit. He emailed me a photo so I could recognize him at the airport. He is a cutie patootie. I also told him he looks twelve! You know you are getting old when you say, "I think I am old enough to be your MOM!" It's a good thing that does not bother me- WHATEVER! If anyone has an "Uncle Mario" in the plastic surgery business, let me know! Just kidding- I just need carpet. Make plans to come and see Chris and see the new Revolution in action.
Leaving on a jet for Vegas this week. I will probably not be able to update the blog. I hope I get a chance to. EKstravaganza is one of my favorite trips of the year. Although it is nice to see all the new EK product for the first quarter, the best part is seeing other store owners. After many years in the industry, you make friends from all over the country (and world). This is one of the few times we can slow down and have fun with each other. At a trade show you are lucky to SEE your friends, let alone have a drink or dinner. This is why I look forward to EKstrav! Of course, I will let you know what ALL the new product releases are too!
