Green Mugs:
First off, I hope everyone is doing well. In case you've been procrastinating, the holiday season has officially arrived! And just it seems like just yesterday I was grubbing on fresh veggies with my family at Thanksgiving dinner. This was my first Thanksgiving as a vegetarian, and I have no regrets! No turkey coma for me, thank you! Luckily my Nana understood and wasn't the least bit offended. Turning down food in a Southern grandmother's kitchen is a cardinal sin in Georgia.
In weeks leading up to today I've tried to prepare myself for the holiday rush by making extra work and stashing it away ahead of time. I planned for a big outdoor show in October (The Cotton Pickin' Fair) the same way, gathering a few ever popular coffee mugs and sponge holders over time to insure I had enough product.
Yet, it happens again. I'm out. After numerous hours slaving away, planning accordingly, nothing is going as planned. And that's fantastic! It's a wonderful problem to have. Today I celebrate a huge milestone for LaurenBauschOriginal ( http://www.etsy.com/shop/LaurenBauschOriginal?ref=si_shop )...800 sales! I like the way the 8 looks. So much better than the 7. I know it seems petty, but it makes me feel like I've finally made it...Like maybe I've got this whole Etsy thing figured out.
...And then I usually have a couple of slow days, and "BAM!"...
Off the pedestal I go!
I'll be replenishing inventory in the next 2 weeks as soon as my upper respiratory infection goes away (Yes, I know...So convenient!). As for now, much needed rest is at the top of my list. To everybody out there, enjoy your holidays. Don't buy into all the rushing around and stressing over buying the perfect gifts. Enjoy your family and friends. They are truly the greatest gifts on Earth.
