Not much happening this week other than working
hard on this beautiful, large embroidery design.
Wednesday I missed an annual pool party at a
friend’s home in Navarre
While perusing one of our online catalogs this
week there were some technical difficulties.
Having the single best group of girlfriends in the world, I called on
them to see if they had problems with the catalogs, as well. They did not.
However, there was a bonus.
Several of the girls did not realize that Cajun Stitchery sold all of
the items in the catalog. We sell so
much more than my handicrafts on Etsy and tee shirts. There are all sorts of baby items, laundry
bags, accessories, undergarments, blankets, as well as tee shirts and the usual
stuff. Also, we sell very nice dress
shirts and jackets. You don’t have to
have these items embroidered. I’ll be
glad to sell them without embroidery.
There are two online catalogs; one is the imprintit.biz link, above;
and, the other is the companycasuals.com, also above.
We learned a valuable albeit hard lesson this
week. Last week we had an order on Etsy,
which we filled and George took to the post office. The post office worker behind the counter
suggested that George mail it via Media Mail and said the customer should
receive the package by this past Wednesday, August 7th. She did not.
She still has not received it. I
called the post office yesterday with my receipt in hand and was told that
Media Mail is the absolute slowest method of mailing. The package is en route but could take three
weeks to get to its destination. As a
business owner you certainly learn to be humble. That was the case when I had to explain this
to my customer. We will never use media
mail again.
Today was a good day since I did my periodic
spree at Dollar Tree and purchased lots of items that I don’t need and will
never use.
This evening George purchased the movie The Thing
for our evening entertainment. It was
the third remake of this movie, the first one was in 1951 and James Arness (Marshall
Matt Dillon and brother of Peter Graves) played “The Thing”. I’ve watched all three and this new remake is
by far the best, although the movie never had much of a plot in the first
place.
The garden is doing fine. We’ve had bell peppers from the garden all
year. Now there are some banana, ancho,
and jalepeno peppers, too. The carrots
are now gone. We ate the last of them
this week. There are 3 beautiful eggplant,
as well. The yard long green beans are
producing now. Our wonderful tomato
plant that was planted last year looked as though it was dying out, but lo and
behold it has flowers on it, again.
Have a wonderful week
