Enjoyed some surprises at the shop today. One of my original little shelves, the black one, sold. Sweet. Later a couple was interested in the entertainment center that I refinished in red. That was one of the nicest units that I have done. They bought it. It was a great one. The old man picked that up for about $45 bucks at DI and we sold it for $240. Not too bad. I will not add up the hours I had in that one because it will probably make me want to cry as my labor will not be valued very high. Oh well. It was nice to have someone interested in my stuff. "Doesn't that just make you feel good?" From the sounds of things there is going to be a new piece coming in tomorrow that is going to need some attention and I may have my next 'entertainment center' type project to work on. I really loved the way that piece turned out. Now I just need to duplicate it a bit faster.
We had our best day in the cafe today as well. That was good. Still lots of work to do to get things dialed in. I've been working on a master list of our products so that we can track our inventory and make ordering product easier. There are just a couple of systems that need to be implemented for operational ease to exist. We will get there. We did move a few loaves of bread today and that was nice. People really seem to like it and that is exactly what we want to do. Bring in the traffic and move the product.
So anyway fun times for sure. It has been a long day once again. It is now almost 9 and I am about ready to head home. For some reason I suffered from some dizziness for much of the day and that was a bit frustrating. Nothing drastic but a bit of vertigo. It doesn't take a lot of that to just make things a little weird. It seems to be gone now. Hopefully I can make it through the night without any issues and don't experience a repeat tomorrow.
