Can you believe it's August already? The year has been racing away, I guess when you're really busy it goes even faster. Much to my great delight, sales activity has been great and I haven't implemented my marketing and advertising strategy as yet.
That's because I've been waiting for my studio to arrive. I decided to go with a kit set which will be erected on site in a few weeks. The studio will have a large work space as well as a retail/showroom area which will stock glass and precious metal jewelry.
The ultimate plan is to offer a range of craft related classes (facilitated by expert teachers) and one to one tuition, in a gorgeous country setting a short drive from Auckland city.
But first there is the task of fitting out the studio! No mean feat but ever ambitious, I hope to be finished at the end of October, ready for the busy summer tourist trade here in Puhoi.
With all that exciting stuff happening, I'll also be exhibiting in the Rugby World Cup " All Glass" exhibition in September/October.
And not to mention I continue to do my studies - could life get any crazier?
In the meantime, keep the orders coming! Best sellers this month have been earrings & pendants. I'll have more pictures posted next week of new pieces.
Inge :)
