KIM S JOY STAINED GLASS AND JEWE​LRY

Blogging with glass

Store has been open three weeks!

After all the work was done and passed City Inspection, the store opened November 27! The first days we had lots of friend visitors and made sales. It was great fun showing off the store and having friends support the vision. 

We were open for A Downtown Christmas December 1 for 10 am to 9 pm. Lots of visitors, many looking for the Merch Search clue. I was dog tired after that long day. 

First Friday was good, a steady stream of visitors and lots of great feedback. Purchased way too much beverage and too much food left over but it is all a learning process. I am hoping to get it down to the right balance of food and drink.

Adjusting to work Tuesday through Saturday 10 am to 5 pm has been a challenge. I do come home mid day to take Fred for a walk so he is not floating! He acts so sad when I leave in the morning and sits on the sofa until I get into the living room before he gets up. Then he turns into a pogo stick! Hours will be cut back in January to Wednesday through Saturday 10 am to 5 pm, just to see if that has any change. 

I have done three repairs and am drawing up two commissions. It is so good to be back at work and creating. I do love my job.

​
The January Class schedule will be going out in the January Happenings Newsletter so keep your eyes peeled.

Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! What are you creative plans for the New Year?

Remember keep art in your heART!

All the best,
Kim

I am so happy to know that you are open! Your work is excellent and I still have all the pieces of jewelry that you made me in NOVA. Need to stop by your store again!
