I worked with Linda and Ed at Shore Memorial and when they called and said they were planning a trip, I was thrilled! Made me miss my friends on the ESVA more though. We put over a thousand miles on Marks vehicle and more on our feet! We did the usual China Town, Fishermans Wharf, the Pacific Coast, shopping, eating, and playing. We found the fortune cookie factory in a dark, scary alley in China Town and I can't wait to share it with more visitors! We celebrated Linda's birthday by Hot Air Ballooning over wine country, wrapping up the adventure with a bunch at a winery. We also toured the Robert Mondovi winery one day. A shame Mark and I aren't wine people!
Don't jump Ed, we won't let Linda shop anymore, I promise!
The Golden Gate Bridge behind us
Ed at the entrance to China Town, our legs ached from walking up and down the hills!
Damn, I love the city! What a view.
Mark and I in the hot air balloon, it was amazingly peaceful and a wonderful place to "just be"
I've been trying to balance Christmas projects with inventory projects and the squeeze has been tight, for sure. I have completed ONE, count em ONE project, with several in various stages of completion. On top of building my stores Christmas inventory, I accepted a guest spot for a Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale with a group of other Hyena Cart folks! I wanted something special to put up and think I have nailed my own expectations! What little tot wouldn't love a wool felt baking set of gingerbread men cookies, dough, etc, oh yea, complete with apron! Sneak preview pics next week, I promise!
I completed a beautiful batik skirt for Tabetha, my one ready to wrap gift so far. No pics though, while she knows I was making it, I would at least like her to have some surprise! LOL.
I got an order for three twirly skirts, bought the fabric but they are on the back burner until I get this Black Friday coop completed. I also have been shipping out orders, making monsters, working on some new items for my store, and I hope to completely revamp the inventory soon. Big sale coming up while I replace stock with new ideas. Keep watching for updates!
