"Going Postal"

{"good morning, darcy, this is your wake up call!"}


{"goofing off at a warehouse"}

Yesterday our usually-handy-dandy-click-n-ship decided to act up and as we would print labels it would decide to charge our credit card a few times too many. I'm worried that by this evening we'll have a million air miles too many. We had our first lost package and our shipments are not coming in fast enough. Glitches, yes lovely glitches and since we don't have an employee that has a title "troubleshooter" we get to figure out all this "un-creative stuff" out! The USPS sent us an e-mail a few weeks with technical questions for us to answer, needless to say they went unanswered as to technical for us! Matt, {kara's husband} will need to come in and figure this out for us. AND, our air conditioner quit yesterday as the filter has not been changed for 3 years! When we rented the building this was never discussed and the basement is not a place we like to hang out. It never crossed our minds, there again we don't have an employee with the title "maintenance". As shopkeepers we wear many hats sometimes too many at once! It's a delicate balancing act and easy to stress out over too "many little things"!

{"sometimes you just need to have a good laugh"}

We now have decided to devote one entire day to only internet as keeping track of inventory from the actual physical shop and updating inventory levels when we sell something "out front". We have two stores now with internet. We still have new product to photograph and need to re-load pictures so customers can look at a larger picture. One day at a time.........."inch by inch life's a cinch, yard by yard life is hard"!

Thank you patient, kind & understanding customers, you keep us going! Also, to our lovely shopkeeper friends far & near your support means a lot! Life is about cheering each other on!!!

Preserve Me, O GOD,
For in THEE do I put my Trust.
