You Go Boy!

This past Monday my hubby got himself all gussied up, even ironed a shirt(!), and went around to local nurseries hawking our plants. Those of you who know Mark are stunned aren't you. He is so quiet and unassuming most of the time. But he sure enough did it and made a sale! It's about $100 or so...but more important it's a new customer.

This means we aren't quite so dependent on my paying job to buy plants. He is still balking at going to First Monday, I think it's because we would only be able to sell 2 out the 5 days. Maybe later we can do the whole week. I have to deliver the plants today-he got called in to work today.

You would think I would be better at Sales (I am when they come to me) but to just walk in to another nursery and ask for them to buy my plants...makes me cringe. I'll try to work up the nerve to visit a few more places. Wish me luck!

AWWW How Cute

We had a batch of kittens a week or two ago. I know, I know. It seems we are always too late for at least one cat every time. This time it was Tiger

This is where Tiger chose to give birth...under my bathroom cabinet.Here is one of the babies. I had to snap fast because mommy is very protective. By the way, please ignore the tacky stenciled cabinet. It is the horror show that is my house-previous owner's handiwork.Here is Tiger snatching back one of the babies. She will pull them out of my hand! The only animals she will allow to get close are my dogs Tipper and Digger . Weird.

Another Long Week

It's been another week where I feel like I've been beaten up. We are ridiculously busy at the paying job (my commission check shows it too, YAY!!!) Sales on Etsy have picked up as well...I'm mailing plants all over the US. I've got at least 10 packages heading out on Monday.

One of which is another Sylwia creation. I think maybe she should come out and make some more. This one was really cool:

I think it looks like a handbag. I gave Sylwia full credit for it. I also put in the ad that I almost kept it. That's probably why it sold so fast...well, that and the fact that it looks so cute.
