It's all starting to come together now...
We moved over our massive stock of tea--over 150 types mostly in 2 kilo bags! These shelves are actually quite bare compared to when we are fully supplied. We sold so much tea before we moved, that we have to put in another order as soon as time permits, which has to be soon since we are totally out of some of our most popular teas.
So, the tea cottage is now full of tea, and the lettering overhead finally came in and was mounted on the wall.
Merchandise is in the un-packing and slowly re-appearing on the shelves.
The outside sign got mounted on the front of the building. Got our name and hours posted on the front door. It looks great when lit at night, and this street gets so much traffic that we've even gotten several calls from new customers in the area who want to know when we are opening.
My favorite Priscilla tea set is back at home on its charming old tea cart. It's rickety and wobbly, but the old tea set somehow looks right sitting on the glass tea tray, just waiting to serve a lovely tea to some eager tea lover.
The health department came today and granted my license without much ado, and it looks like we will actually be ready to open this Saturday!
And Einstein rests again above my desk, inspiring me on so many levels. His quote, "Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds..." somehow helps me to deal with all the challenges of running a small business.
Almost there...whew!
