Where have I been?
Been learning how to be a mom while sending out a rush of holiday jewelry orders! Brian Casique-Hoople was born November 23rd, exactly on his due date. He’s super cute and even more so now that he’s starting to do more than eat and cry and sleep ;D
December sales were three times that of a normal month!
(Which was awesome, but challenging to get sent out while learning to take care of a newborn!) Luckily my awesome husband is off work for the winter and has been taking care of cooking and cleaning and keeping baby happy while I quickly got orders wrapped up.
January has been full of dramatic new beginnings.
I’ve gotten a sales rep to present my work to upstate New York boutiques and I sent out 400 postcards to try and jumpstart the wholesale side of Authentic Arts. On the baby side, he’s started cooing and “talking” back to us. So adorable!!
Hope your holidays were wonderful and wishing you a new year full of fabulous possibility!
