Apparently, wholesale is where it's at! We worked a deal with a local boutique for our Wood earrings which has now expanded into leather and we are close to supplying 100% of her earrings. We will fulfill our 3rd and 4th order today when my wife drops them off. We delivered our first order about 3 weeks ago!
I've joined a few facebook groups to try and connect with boutiques from coast to coast. We will ship our first wholesale order tomorrow to massachusettes.
I also worked a wholesale deal for my paint racks with an online hobby shop that I fo a lot of business with. Hopefully they go well!
Yeah, that can definitely be done. The base was purchased, but I can make something small enough to light a piece that size. IIRC, the opening in that base is ~3"
And, finally for tonight. I've bee real intrigued by etching pictures. I finally got some time to mess around with some settings and got a decent run out of this picture. Still a ways to go, but it is promising!
This is our first hand written recipe. I learned a lot with this one. It took some time in inkscape and sure cuts a lot to remove the background and pull just the text. There were a few artifacts left when I ran it, but it turned out great! This was the test run. Next came 6 - 11x14 maple cutting boards with the recipe on them.
Hit up the Dallas Fraternal Order of Police or Dallas Police Association and ask to advertise with them too. Those would make cool Christmas gifts.
I'll definitely keep that in mind for next year. We are ALMOST at capacity for this Christmas. I'm planning to shut it down from Christmas to Jan 2. Clean the machine, get the garage cleaned, organized, nd set up, etc.
