Well...let me give you a rundown now that my products and display are safely out of my house and in the hands of Valerie of The Artisan Group. It started in October when I decided to sign up for the Golden Globes gifting. It is not something you go into with a flippant heart. It costs a little bit of money to get into the event, but it is something I feel I just had to do at least once in my lifetime. The requirement: 100 relatively small items to gift celebrities, all wrapped in something that would keep business cards in tact with the product itself. Also a display piece that was not too big, but had enough of a presence to catch the eyes of celebrity and press alike!
So let's get down to the meat of it. 100 of anything to me these days just is not a big deal. I can do 100 candles in 2 days....1 day if I do it from 7 am - 7 pm. BUT...it is a big deal when you get three wholesale orders exactly a day after you sign up for the Golden Globes! This was truly an, okay Dee, breathe deep and make a timeline or nothing is going to work moment! First things first, two of the wholesale orders were relatively small so I got those knocked out right away. One of the orders had some candles...so I just set up extra candles for the Golden Globes and in no time at all they were done! The doing was the easy part...it actually took me over a month to package them!
