lavender strikes back :)

Well, alrighty then. This will be a quick entry, because I'm truly exhausted. I was just out in the rain for a whole hour and a half, selling sachets door-to-door.

I sold 9 sachets (one more than the last time), which is pretty amazing, considering it's a Monday (which is not payday) and the weather is so grey and dreary. I suspect I would have sold more than 9 had it been a sunny Wednesday or Thursday.

But the most amazing thing of all is that I trusted my instinct, and it payed off. I called it quits after having sold 6 sachets and was walking down a small street on my way to buy cat food when I got this strong feeling that I should try selling at the next house. It was an elderly man who answered, and he didn't want to buy one. Feeling discouraged, I started to walk past the neighbouring house, but I decided "what-the-hell, I might as well try this one!"

It was a woman with a small child (which is usually a good sign - I've noticed so far that women with small children are more likely to buy my lavender sachets)... and she bought THREE! I made an extra $15 because I listened to my intuition.

Cool? Very! And there's still 8 sachets left (Mom stills needs to order more lavender in order to make more) so if the sun decides to shine one of these days, I'll go out and try to sell the rest.

Looks like I'm quite the little salesgirl. ;D hmm, just imagine if my french didn't suck! Maybe I SHOULD brush up on my grammar... lol

Oh, yeah... I ACTUALLY ordered 184 feet of 20ga stainless steel wire and a pair of chainnose pliers (without teeth!!! no more scarring on my rings!) from TRL on Friday. So, hopefully that will come within the week, and I'll get to work on cutting 1/8" & 3/16" ID rings. The first thing I'll make will probably be a necklace in the half-persian 4-in-1 weave. I'll tie a price tag to it and give it to Dad to bring to Charlie's next time he goes. It will be beautiful! :P

Ok. So much for a quick entry. I just blabbed my face off incessantly. I'm gonna have a nap. See you around!
