So today was a great day for RSO... we went to our first big gem show. It was a great place to meet contacts and find some really unusual components. So we'll be busy contacting all of our great new contacts in the coming week to work on networking and cross promotional opportunities.
There were so many stories the vendors knew about the origin of the beads... from the far reaches of the world... it will most certainly help the creative process.
Other than that, it's a great place to hand out cards and show off some of our favorite pieces.
Can't wait to go to the next one!

Is that you over there in that chair?
Jewelry making and colors and textures and metals and tools are awesome... as is staring longingly into the windows of a perfect storefront, sketching mental pictures of the future... but those things alone don't make the business. There's always a need to update or revamp the website... product descriptions, sales trending, branding, purchasing and billing... paying bills... hearing the computer proclaims zero hours night after night. All of it is necessary and beneficial and quite frankly... tiring. Steps forward and back and forward and back... but here's the kicker... Over there across the desk, or in the chair across the living room at midnight is the motivation. The desire to move forward. Each other. And for that... I guess we'll happily press on... :)
