Good things happen

Good things have been happening in spades lately and we feel so blessed!

Our friends at Foreign and Domestic Food and Drink have been rocking out, the food is INCREDIBLE and it's been such a great addition of a quality business to a quirky little neighborhood with limited sit-down restaurant choices. Love that they are an addition rather than competition to existing restaurants.

My favorite building in that neighborhood is for sale (too much for me to buy) and I really hope another wonderful and unique local business moves in.

Although the lawn chair production did not happen as planned, a little bird has told me that a buyer from Neimans might be calling me sometime soon. OMG. Holy. Cow. Things are moving FAST.
Fortunately I know two someone's who have worked with NM currently and in the past and so I have two different people I can go to with "WWYD" questions =o)

We've been waiting on press for a certain something, the chairs really taught me that it might not matter who did what first, but who gets the most press first.
With that lesson in mind, we've been reluctant to put custom items "out there" before the press is 'in' on it. Weird I know, but it's disappointing to spend the time and make the financial investment to create something and then see another company get "the big hooray".

Oh well, Moving on.

Yesterday we had a studio day, soldering, carving and drilling. It was good fun and we kicked around some ideas. It's great to have a friend who does something somewhat similar to what you do but who has no interest in doing exactly what you do. Too often people see someone doing something unique and want to do the exact same thing. This is never good for friendships.

I've turned down the Tallahassee shop, we are not doing consignments. Period. We ARE doing the Dallas Design Mart in the Fall though! Whoo!

Get ready for the Paramount Summer Film Fest!
