…..2023 is almost gone and 2024 will be here in a couple days.
We did a bit of driving this year…..besides the month-long trip in February to Florida pulling our 5th wheel, we went to Colorado Springs in August for our daughter and son-in-law’s renewal of their vows. It was certainly nice to get away from the norm, see some countryside in other places, and visit with our kids and grandkids. We took the train to the top of Pikes Peak which was a great experience. All of these beautiful places never seem enough when time goes so quickly and we must return to our daily routines.
Earlier this month, we took a road trip to the central Oregon coast to see the Shore Acres Christmas Lights show which was so unique and beautiful. The weather was good for us and the ocean as always was mesmerizing. We left there the next day and headed south to Brookings for the Azalea Park Christmas Lights which we believed catered more to the kids but was still beautiful, both light displays were spectacular in their own ways. We stopped along the way to visit with friends who I’ve known for 40 years! That there is a real friendship and to be able to bring up memories of days gone by was very special.
We did have a few events in the last couple months…some good, some not so good this time…..but that may just be as expected and we make adjustments or maybe we just go again and hope for a better outcome.
As we head into 2024, I am already starting to prepare my calendar with the best repeat events and adding a few other new events to see how they fit in. The business has grown a little bit and I’m finding my inventory needs to start out with double what I had before each show in previous years but I’m ready. The excitement is still there in finding the unique focal pieces for each hanger and shopping for the beautiful beads, crystals, and bells, and of course searching for the most spectacular driftwood pieces as well. Keep an eye on my calendar as we go thru 2024 so you will know where we’re at.
Hoping everyone has a very Happy New Year and I hope I get to see all of you at some point during the 2024 year. Thank you for your business and your continued support!
And remember, if there is a special hanger you need for that special someone before I see you next, please send me a message thru my website and I’ll be happy to build that for you!
Blessings,
Robin
