A new business relationship
The Saturday before Thanksgiving I went to an event at a local winery. They had tastings and also a very well attended vendor fair in their lovely barn. Lots of different types of vendors. Some were selling food and others were selling their hand made goods. I spotted jewelry by someone I know but the person selling it wasn't her. Upon closer examination, there was work from several different craftsperson on this table. I asked the vendor if she was a local business...YES! She gave me her rack card and we chatted a bit. Sure enough, she has a gift shop that sells the work of local artists and the shop is about 15 miles from my house.
This past Sunday morning it was a good day for a trip to Barre, MA. I had an appointment with the owner of the gift shop, Lin, who I had met at the winery event. I took a nice variety of balsam sachets and pillows to show her plus some coiled fabric coasters, trivets and baskets. Lin liked what she saw and bought a few items plus put in an order for a few more balsam sachets. Unfortunately I left forgotten my aprons at had left them at home. She did take a look at them on my website and indicated she would like to see them in person so when I go back to delivery her order I will take along the aprons I currently have in stock. All and all, it was a fun morning meeting Lin and seeing her shop and I am excited at the prospect of a new business relations with Lin and having my work in her charming gift shop Dandelions. https://www.dandelionsonline.com/pages/about-us
