Open House Review

I just realized that i haven't posted about the open house that i recently hosted.  Like i said in my previous post, i think i was just on super burn out mode after all the work i put in getting my stock up for it.  We had a great turnout that day.  I estimate more than 70 people came by.  We had lots and lots of sales and most of all FUN.  There were bubbles flowing, lots of yummy goodies and people really just stayed to chat and mingle.

Thank you everyone for all of your support.  
You all really made my day and made all the hours of hard work worth it.  

I posted some photos on FB if you are interested in seeing.  Here's one of my set up -

What's next...

I think i'll continue making bows for all of you.  I will look into going into retail shops as well, so you won't have to hound me down to place orders and it'll also open the products up to the wider public.  I'm really going to have to get my butt in gear to add products to my line.

Surprisingly, one thing that sold very well were the bean bags.  I actually had someone come up to ask me specifically for them.  I hadn't increased stock for them and didn't even put them out on the day of the open house, because i thought people didn't care about them, but her son had played with them at a friend of mine's place and all the kids apparently love them.  Knowing this now, i'll be sure to keep making them for you all as well.

Also, I don't know if you remember seeing the fabric i bought recently, but i finally pulled my sewing machine out last night and made them into cushion covers for myself.

I'm quite pleased with them, but this is really just  sharing with you some of my other work -  i don't actually think i'll go this route into making these.  I already have a friend who makes cushion/pillow covers to sell, and gorgeous ones at that, so i'm not really interested in competing against her.  Here's a photo of her stuff.  She was actually at our open house - Two Happy Birds.

Next open house...

Besides increasing products, i think the plan is to bring you another open house some time in the fall for more merry shopping and to introduce new things.  Please like Sealy T on Facebook if you'd like to keep posted about when this may be.  Stay tuned...
