Great Night

Well the pub night went very well. The word got around and we had over 40 people to show up. all of then bought stuff. I was very surprised at the turn out. Even had some friends that I haven't seen in about two years to come. Everyone loved the jewelry so we are planning on having another one in the pub in about two weeks time..

We had posters out in town but it was most of the village in Bansha that showed up. I was very impressed. I love to sell jewelry because people are so happy to buy something that makes them feel good and I like being apart of that. This was the first night that Peter was actually part of it up front. Usually he is behind the scene, ordered stock, making up catalog, making jewelry displays. He rather got a buzz off it himself being there tonight and helping out. I will have pics to follow. Some of the people didn't come that we thought would, but that's usually the way it works. We are going to be busy this week restocking and getting ready for out next showing. I am so glad that the business is going so well. We had about 700.00 in sales tonight, for 2 hours work. Not bad at all.

On another note I got a package from my dear mom back in Kentucky she sent me a belated birthday present. Which was a birthstone ring and my sister sent me earrings to match. Plus some other bits and pieces. I called her to thank her for all the stuff. We had a laugh because she had stuck some dental floss in the box she sent me. I told her when I was talking to her and trying to go over the stuff that was in the box, that they sell dental floss here in Ireland... She has false teeth and don't use dental floss so she said she had gotten the floss when they played bingo. Usually she said they bring something from home so people can win so she had won at bingo and that was in some of the stuff she won, she thought that since I had all my normal teeth that she would just send the floss to me...Makes sense since she explained it to me but when I got the box I saw the dental floss in it I just had to laugh. I ask her why didn't they use money in bingo and she told me that would be more like gambling....LOL MY mom you gotta love her.

I think I will call it a night. I think I have had all the excitement I can take for one night. I started reading Stephen King's Gunslinger series. I had read one book along time ago and I am sure once I get to that book I will say I have read that before. LOL But Like I say it's been along time ago and I have forgotten which one it was. I use to read his novels all the time, and when he got hit by a car and was recovering he didn't write very much. I thought I had heard on the news that he had retired, but I think he started writing again. He had finished up the gunslinger series anyway. I have read most of his other books . You either like his work or you don't and I just happen to like his work...I can't even remember the books that I have read throughout the years. I get into these reading moods and I can read a book a night(if stay up all night reading) then I get out of the mood and it might take six months or more before I get in the mood again.

Be careful out there.
