Preparing for the Holidays

I didn't list on Etsy last Christmas...........My store was not on the boardwalk last Christmas....I totally don't know what to expect. Last night was beyond my expectations.....I had a customer from Etsy convo me and say she wanted some Billy Joel or Eagles bookends the night before. Glen made 2 pair of Billy Joel and one pair of Eagles bookends......I took the pictures and by the time I listed them it was 9pm.....I let the customer know........I was watching Glee and New Girl......love these shows and I looked up and the time was 10:13 59 degrees on the tv.......I was like woooaaahh what's the odds of that(that's my birthdate).....like 11/11/11. So, I made a wish for any kind of good fortune. I opened my computer and one of the bookends sold....yes!!!! I went to convo her.....it wasn't the original customer....I quickly let her know........then she did buy a pair.......yes!!!! Then I am telling Glen the story and while I am telling him.... the Eagles bookends sold.......wahooo!!!!!! So.......the story will be continued....I can't wait to list some more bookends tonight and see what happens. The bookends were shipped today to California, Texas and Pennsylvania. It's hard to depend on a business like this.....but, it sure is worth a shot......you never know!!!!!
