Do you still have a job ?

January 27, 2009

This Friday was supposed to be hubby's last day of work but the company is SO big hearted that they are letting him Saturday too  Money mouth   and then he is laid off for good.

I am glad to have my All Natural Gifts and Vintage Gifts business.   It will not pay even half of the bills right now - but I am hoping that all of my hard work will soon take it over that threshold.

There are many of us in this same boat so let's refer customers to each other when we can as long as it doesn't take away from our own business of course.

I keep a list of what my fellow webstore friends have and when I get customers who want what I do not make/have, I go down that list and give my customers the links to those stores - I hope they all are doing the same for me too.

I do the same at my Hubbard, Ohio Gift Shop - I keep business cards on my corkboard of all of the local businesses that I trust and that have been good to me and I refer my customers to them.

It is a 1973 Coachmen, but it still looks almost like new.    The flooring hardly has a scratch on it except right by the door.   The roof needs coated in a few spots which is an easy job.

The people from whom I bought it just bought a newer one so I got it at an unbelievable (could not pass this up) price.

Here's a few photos the seller sent to me before I bought it.

I have the fridge and some of the cupboards filled with many of my dried herbs and flowers... that I grew in my Organic garden.

The kitchen area has a good-sized double stainless steel sink, a stove, an oven, tons of cabinets for storing my soap supplies and other supplies too,  a booth with a table where I can work and drink my herbal teas, a closet where I store my freshly cut chemical-free organic cedar shavings (that I use in my closet sachets) and my tubs of oils and butters (that I...
