We didn’t forget you, we’re just busy making this venture official that the tedious steps barely seem blog worthy. During all of this, we still keep our creative hats on and have worked on a few new tea towel designs and other creations for the upcoming holidays.
I think we gave you a little hint in our last entry about a new tea towel design that hit us when we were at the Sourcing at Magic convention in Las Vegas. Let us know what you think? Our tea towels are a huge hit and living in the Southwest, this seemed just perfect.
As we enter the last quarter of the year, we’re getting ready for the holidays. WAKE UP PEOPLE, yes, we are approaching that time of year and it looks like you and 3 thousand of our best friends can find us at the Central Farmers Market for the Fall Crafters event in October. We have been asked to set up our fab little shop 3 Saturdays in a row; (October 13th, 20th, & 27th). We’ll take the month of November off to recover (while eating turkey and pie), and gear up again for the first three Saturdays in December (12/1, 12/8, 12/15). Mark your calendars, plan to visit and get some (or all) of your holiday shopping done. There will also be a gift wrap station at the market to make your life easier!
Here are a couple of Halloween costumes we have available.
Wait, I think I kind of drifted away from the theme of the entry before I even started chatting about it. What was the topic again, oh yes . . . Trial and Error. Here at COTS it’s so important to us that we bring to you unique, top quality products. Our most recent trial and error has been working with freezer paper. Oh that darn freezer paper! Brenda was brave enough to tackle the freezer paper and the 18 steps it takes to get a less than acceptable finished product. Earlier last month, I took a different approach with the freezer paper, and unfortunately…..not acceptable. The moral of the story is that some ideas take time. After all, it’s not called Chanel No. 1, it took five attempts before Chanel No. 5 was what it is today!
