UPCOMING EVENTS - Think Holiday gift giving! (already??????)

I'm waiting patiently (no other choice)  to hear about the grants I've applied to so far, so that I can keep this venture up and running, place more ads in pet product magazines and  to submit new designs to add to the inventory (but can't do that just yet).  There are lots of new sketches and developments for black on black and white on white confections, embellished and bejeweled.......another "boy" sweater, easy on harnesses in beautiful brocade and also embellished, matching leashes and new colorways for the existing styles.    The Holiday Festival at the Berkshire Botanical Gardens will take place on Dec. 3 -4-5 .  It's a high end craft event whose opening benefit  reception is a $50 per person gala affair where early buyers get to have cocktails and food from the numerous fine restaurants in the area (it's their 20th year) and have first buying privileges.  This will be my first year doing it and although the Harvest Festival we did there this October was disappointing, this one is said to be enjoyed by more a "affluent and enthusiastic crowd who are poised to buy." Lacy and I will have a table and hope to entice buyers with special sales and offers, gift wrapping service and other perks.  Lots on the Lollypups plate already but additional events will definitely toss in a few obstacles along the already bumpy road of small business ownership. Daughter number 2 is getting married next year so we're already involved in bridal expos, venue shopping, dress decisions etc.  But it's all good and Lacy and I are beside ourselves with joy (though Lacy doesn't know yet that she may not be invited) 
Knee surgery may also throw a monkey wrench into the works when and if I decide to go through with it but things have to all be in place before I do.  Put that on the "to do" list with more added each day.  And so it goes..........
