...a la the wicked witch of the west, only I am lashed to a computer at my office doing really mundane stuff when I want to be working on jewelry in the worst way. Alain has been sick for a few days and only today put in an appearance at the office, so it has been the "me" show so far this week, and barely keeping up. Big plans to catch up today, only to be thwarted by proofs on the magazine we produce arriving this morning via Fedex that had to be read and signed off, and then shipped back;… Continue

I have decided to "clarify" every area in the store, revamping and sorting out things of every description. It's a total visual overload on its best day, and a managerial and merchandising nightmare on its worst...



I only had two or three hours yesterday to devote to it because we were throwing an "apartment shower" for my daughter and her soon-to-be roommate Kyle. We invited our closest family and friends, and we all met at the local Big Lots closeout store and drew lists of cards… Continue

Well, it has to be done. I can't keep it all, and in the throes of organization, I have decided to part with some of my findings.

I took photos at the store and you can actually see what things are, versus my soft, mushy and slightly overall pink shots from before. I must figure out how to remove those and replace them with some better shots. I'm rating the Canon high on ease… Continue

I splurged and acquired a new camera, and what a difference. Makes me wonder why I was limping along on 2.5 megapixels all this time....guess I was in a comfort zone of sorts, and finally it wasn't very comfortable! Love my new Canon PowerShot...big viewing screen that is nice on my tired eyes, simple to operate, easy software installation, and took it home from Costco for $299 plus tax and that included a printer! Heaven....I'm in heaven...Wendy I will bring it in to the store on Friday for… Continue
