A different kind of sale

This week’s excitement is that I had my very first sale to a complete stranger. While my friends and family have been wonderfully supportive, purchasing dozens of my bags (each, for some of you – you know who you are) and spreading the word about Witty Designs, it was pretty exciting to get an order and realize that I had no idea who the buyer was. It feels like the first step toward sightings of celebrities carrying my bags and then being on the O List. Okay, so maybe it won’t happen that fast, but it’s pretty exciting for me. For now, back to sketching designs for the new line I’m planning for this fall. I’ve been collecting fabric all summer…

In not-so-exciting news, our pack out is scheduled for Monday. Ugh. Which means the teeny-tiny apartment is filled to the brim with stuff. Double ugh. I try to remember that it will be really nice to have all the new stuff I’ve bought when we get it in Nassau – in 3 months or so. It’s like waiting for Christmas.

Also, Peema is back with our family, after spending the summer with my parents. She’s settling in nicely, particularly since Laika is still at “summer camp” (aka – two weeks of intensive training in WV). I think my parents had a hard time letting go, though. And we’d forgotten how much we enjoy P’s gentle meowing at 2am to see if we happen to be awake and willing to pet her. Eight years and she still hasn’t figured out that the answer is always NO.
