What a week! Where to begin...
When starting a business - goals are essential. Just to keep you going, keep you motivated, and most importantly - keep you busy when business is a bit slower than usual!
Preparing for tente kept me super busy these past three months. There is nothing more satisfying than unwrapping boxes of weeks worth of handwork and finallybeing able to share them with your clients.
Tente was a great experience. Hard work packing up everyday, but I had the best company and sales assistant I could ever ask for. My very own Mama! She flew in to help me with tente, and spent a few extra days visiting. What a treat! After the craziness of 3 days of tente and all the prepping before, we could finally enjoy a few lazy days of coffee shops and long walks with my workshop assistant... (Who Im seriously considering 'letting-go'... since summer has arrived in Windhoek, he prefers the kitchen floor for snoozing to my studio upstairs where it is quite a bit hotter! )
The beautiful disply cases and ladders were built by my awesome husband! Weekends I spent working on jewellery, he worked in the garage on my display cases. I think he might be part german as well, the perfectionist streak is very prominent! He was such a great help with tente, I couldnt have done it without him.
Thanks so much to all our friends who came by to support! Our stall was bustling with 'ooo's' and 'aaaa's' all day, and thats thanks to all our supporters! Hope all the windhoek ladies are enjoying their jewellery : )
