Our First Day!!

We made it through our first day of business!!  Not only that, it was a great first day!  I didn’t take any pictures, but here are some of the highlights.

• Cathy from Premier Petals came over last night and decorated our display window.  (I’m sorry I don’t have pictures – I’ll get some tomorrow.)  Kasi from Focusing Life Photography had taken some photos of a few skeins of our yarn and had them blown up.  Cathy used the three large photos, some autumn leaf garland, some mums, and some baskets to make the window very fall-like.  It’s beautiful!
• Patrick and I went to the City Council meeting last night and briefly told the members about our shop and handed out cards.
• We got a call today from a newspaper reporter about doing a story in the local paper (which they do for all new businesses).
• We had times today of being completely empty and quiet and other times with as many as eight people in the shop.
• Christopher was the primary operator of the cash register today.
• We are using Square Up for credit card transactions and are very happy with how it is working.
• We knew many of the people who came in today, but definitely not all of them.  We met some tourists from Chicago as well as people who learned about our shop from Facebook.

We had lots of fun meeting people and talking about yarn all day!  Here’s hoping for many more good days selling yarn!
