We are closer to a new format for SHOP TALK. My intention is to keep everyone updated on shop happening's via the shop journal, specifically because this can be done often, unlike web site updates. So, as I said we are closer, not quite there yet.
I recently read on a blog that I enjoy, something I took too personally, but agree is true and annoying. The author said she was wiping her links to all of the people who were too random with their post's. They were lazy and not worth the effort. Pretty harsh, wouldn't you say ?
Of course, she is right, I too find it annoying when I take five to catch up on news and the creative world w/ artist's I admire only to find it has been weeks since they have written. I do feel less than happy about not posting, but also feel strongly that blah blah randomness is everywhere on the internet and as tempting as it is to post beautiful pictures of nature ( like Main St. Damariscotta tulips ) and puppies, there is more than enough of that to go around. This is why my title is SHOP TALK. I want to keep our customers and readers current with new arrivals and creative studio bursts. I may still tag on a few inspirational pictures. I probably will.
But I am only one human w/ way too many job's. Maybe the Summer fairy will bring me a few extra hours a week so I can work on this issue. Also, a new server and tools will be helpful.
I guess this is an apology and a request wrapped into one. Sorry for not posting shop news and asking not to be wiped from your favorites.
I can tell you the shop is chock full of really fun summer hats for men and women, three new scarf companies w/ prices that will knock your socks off, new hair ornaments, four new bag companies, and fresh new Spring designs from our current bag designers. Several new glass earring styles from our studio and some pretty cool Damariscotta Glass River Stones and Pebble necklaces, also from our studio. You already know I am a pearl fanatic, so many fun new strands, on silk, of course. I love to mix and match silk colors and pearls, if you don't see what you are looking for, just ask us. We tend to get busy this time of year when it comes to special requests, but will always make an effort to work with you on an acceptable time frame.
Thank you for your patience, and please feel free to call us anytime w/ questions @ 207 563 1919 or requests on products. We are more than happy to send you quick photo's via email, and as always, no shipping charges when you order from our web site.
Have a great afternoon ! It's beautiful here in Damariscotta, but I won't post a picture.
Chris
