There is light at the end of the tunnel.
November 16, 2007
Hello all, and welcome to the launching of Buttercup Beads!
Well, we're finally, really, getting somewhere.
It's been a long and arduous process opening this store,
but Bud and I are definately seeing light at the end of the
tunnel now. And (whoo-hoo!) if the paint dries in time - we
plan to open our doors on Tuesday, November 27 at 10 am.
Over the next few days, we still have some trim to paint
and crown molding to hang, inventory to sort, and price,
and tag, but after that we can start to move the beads and
other goodies in and begin to set up. We plan to take
Thanksgiving off and spend it with the family, (there is
Holiday soup to be made doncha know!) and then put the
finishing touches on the store next weekend.
The signs for the building will take a few more weeks to
get in but that's not going to stop us. Beads are
everywhere here at home, and I don't remember the last time
I saw my living room. I think I left it somewhere behind
the kitchen...
I don't know if I'll have *all* the bells and whistles in
place by opening day - (even I (an Aries) underestimated
how many things need to get done!) but I'm sure going to
try my darndest. Wish me luck.
Anyway, I sincerely hope that you can come and celebrate
with us. After all - when you take away the sparkly, baubly
things - this project is really more about community than
anything else. It's really about bringing new and seasoned
beaders together under one little roof to share the
secrets, to have some fun, and to put an actual touch and
feel to imagination and creativity. And if, in the
process, we happen to make some really great jewelry too -
well - who can argue with that!?
I must extend a sincere Thank You to everyone who has been
so patient and understanding through this - whose bright
energies and kind wishes have pushed me on. Because of you-
my loyal customers, my students, my family, and friends -
you are and always have been the inspiration for this crazy
idea. You believed in me and encouraged me right from the
start, and in so many, many different ways. <---And that,
has made all the difference.
Be sure to take a walk around this new website a bit -
bookmark it to your favorite places and come back to visit
often. Remember to sign up for the Buttercup newsletter -
to keep you informed about all the sales, and classes, and
promotions that will happen in the store.
Thank you, and thank you again, and I hope to see you all
soon!
Until then, happy beading.
Andrea
