Anyone who knows me knows I am a bit of s stickler for prompt book keeping.
So here it is, not even 9AM on January 1st, and my 2008 Book work is just about done.
I have to say, i was pleasantly surprised. My Direct and Retail Sales, as well as my Online sales, both increased by at least double from 2007.
This came as quite a shock, considering that what I make is not an essential expense, and everyone is cutting spending.
I can only deduce that despite hard financial times, the lessons i have learned first hand and by example over the years have improved my ability to offer great handmade products, and that's something people are willing to pay for.
What a great way to start my 2009!
So what ARE my plans for 2009, you ask?
Handmade by me silver circles, soldered, rolled flat and roughened to a brushed finish and hung from handmade by me sterling silver french ear wires, which are rolled for stability and hand smoothed for comfort.
