The spring open house is tomorrow. I’ve still got some things to do to prepare, but I’m basically ready. I’m excited to see the women I met at the open house in November - this time I’ll have my guest book ready to get them on my mailing list.

So here are some tidbits leading into the weekend:

1. My mother, the tea merchant, gave a sample of her Lucky Charms blend tea to my husband and me the other day. I could smell the luscious chocolate and mint through the baggie! We brewed the pot that day and it was wonderful. And we loved the little green clovers!

2. I bought some soap samples from SoapDeli at Etsy.com to give away as promos to customers when they make a purchase. They arrived yesterday and they smell so delicious.

3. I bought new shopping bags from Nashville Wraps. I had been using their white gloss bags with handles, but I was low in inventory and afraid that I’d run out, so I ordered more. This time I bought burgundy kraft bags with handles (I got 25), which match my branding/logo and also white merchandise bags (like you get at card shops) for small purchases.  They only sell them in lots of 1000, so I think I’ll have those bags for years!

4. Tonight I need to finish the repair job for the proprietress of Uncle Sam’s Niece, our open house hostess, so that I can take that to her tomorrow. And if I can manage it in the evening, I’d like to make at least one pearl necklace to have in my display along with the pendant necklaces I already have ready.

One last thing - all of the items in my Etsy shop will be invisible for Friday and Saturday since I’ll be taking everything to the open house. So if you have your eye on something, please buy it today because it may not return to my shop on Sunday!
