We're branching out and we have an eggbeater

Here is an update:

Our packages made it across the pond to Cornwall, England. One was damaged and both incurred heavy taxes because of their size. To say the least, this is not exactly what we were expecting.

I think we were hoping that the packages would arrive virtually untouched and when our friend Val opened them, light would emanate from each box as it reflected off the surfaces of the sparkling gems that they contained. A few angelic pitches resonating in the background would not have been a bad touch either.

But, alas, this is not what happened.

However, Val is confident that the jewelry we sent will sell itself without angels singing simply because it is just that gorgeous.

In the future, instead of large conspicuous packages, we plan to send a piece or two in small envelopes several at a time.

And speaking of sending things in the mail, Lynn had some brochures made and sent them to Chicago to her sister to distribute amongst her co-workers and church congregation. And a friend of ours placed an order for some necklaces for her daughter and her sister-in-law in Denmark.

So, I suppose that you can say we are now in Cornwall and Chicago and soon to be in Denmark.

(Kathleen has noted that when the website launches, we'll be EVERYWHERE!)

Finally, during our very official and professional Monday meeting conversation, Ami was picking through a box of charms that Kathleen brought and found a rather curious one.

Ami plucked it from the slippery plastic packages and said, "An eggbeater?"

We all paused to look at what she was holding and started to laugh.

Over her own laughter, Kathleen said, "Well, you never know... I couldn't find a chef's hat so this was the next best thing."

So, if you are desperately seeking a lovely little charm bracelet equipped with an eggbeater charm, I know where you can find one...
