Lots of New Stock

Been awfully busy receiving all our new stock which we purchased in Toronto. The back room is stuffed, as is my 1/2 ton. No rest for us for the next few days, weeks, oh my gosh, perhaps months!!!!! I think I'm feeling a tad overwhelmed :) Lots of great customers in lately. Havelock Jamboree last weekend brought us lots of new faces. Sounds like everyone enjoyed themselves and were still smiling on the way home. Always make sure there are lots of cowboy hats on hand,lol.

Busy, Busy, Busy

Life has been extremely busy and I forgot about my blogging, oops. We (Amber and myself) were up in Toronto for our Trade Show for 3 days. There 1,000,000 sq. feet of wholesale stock to search through for the best prices and unique items. It's a lot of fun but tiring. We need to have a set budget, know how many and which colour(s). Walking around from 9 in the morning till 7 at night and then at least an hour's worth of adding invoices up once you get back to the hotel room. One drink and you're ready for bed, lol. A big thank you goes to Donna for holding down the fort while we were gone. She did a fabulous job, as always. We lovvvve her :)

Not too many "wow" factors found this time but we were able to source out some new Betty Boop and horse items. We also brought in some new Royal Dulton Astrology Angels. They are absolutely gorgeous and can hardly wait until we receive them!

Hope everyone is enjoying this wonderful glimpse of summer!

Long Weekends, Yaaaaa

You've got to love long weekends :) Two, count 'em, 2 whole days off. No dropping off stock, answering phones, unpacking boxes...just 48 hours of visiting friends and family and watching the local Invitational Golf Tournament at Kawartha Golf & Country Club. I loved every moment of it :)
That perhaps explains why we were soooo busy today. We always close on holiday Mondays now. We found that it wasn't very busy and we are open 7 days a week from April to Christmas Eve and often need the break.
Between serving customers and preparing for our 3 upcoming day's at our Trade Show in Toronto, the day flew by.
Lots still on Sale so that helps generate interest plus helps deplete our odds and sodds. More tomorrow about the Trade Show. Until then, Cheers!
