Today was the first day this week that I smiled when I walked in the door. I smiled because I saw before me the wonderful island that anchors the center of my shop. It is unencumbered by other pieces in front of it, beside it, and tucked at the corners of it. The drawers are all closed and the bottom shelf can been seen. I forgot how much I love this piece. It's been with me from the beginning and has served me well. It sits almost empty because I am planning to retire (gasp!) it (if the snow ever stops!). It's status will be listed as "as needed", my faithful piece that I will call on if the next piece fails to live up to my expectations! It's a tough act to follow.
And so... I smiled... and I think it smiled back at me.
blank page = endless possibilities
I also smiled because, the inventory is done, and I'm well on my way to being reorganized and ready to begin all over again. The pages are blank (and hopefully unlined!) and the possibilities are limitless. What an exciting time! How will Pepperberry's continue to grow this year? I have some ideas to develop that are really exciting, and I'm working on my buying trip to New York at the end of this month. The amount of new product I'm seeing is really encouraging. There wasn't a lot of new product last year.
And so it begins again. I can't wait to see how the story unfolds!
