I’m planning to swing down by the new store this evening around 6-ish — they’re hosting a Berwyn town assessor event, so it’s a good time to meet some locals (who might be inclined to buy things) and also add a little more stock to the store, fix some labels, etc.
I just checked the sales for the first week, and it’s not rip-roaring or anything, but things are selling. A vegan cookbook, a copy of Bodies in Motion, some resin botanical bookmarks and a necklace, some chili flake and gold leaf earrings, a tea towel.
I wasn’t sure it was a good strategy, having so many different things in the shop, but on the other hand, I enjoy making lots of different things, and so far, it doesn’t seem like any one thing is dominating. So I guess I’ll just keep doing what I’m doing? Trying to mostly keep things themed around food, books, botanicals, and autumn for now.
