SOLD!!! The ladies at Swank. Coffee Shoppe and Handmade Market in Downtown Southern Pines bought my end tables this afternoon!!! Thanks Petra and Jessica :o)
Funny story: Rachel and I were walking the kiddies last Friday morning in DoToSoPi, and decided to stop into Swank. for a morning pick-me-up...and as a snack break for the kids too. With coffee in hand and babies in strollers, we found a seat towards the back of the shoppe to sit for a spell, relax, sip, feed goldfish to hungry little mouths. I look around at all the handmade goods in the shoppe, tons of great handmade items from local artists by the way, and notice the four private little "coffee cubbies" to my right. In each little cubbie there is a comfy chair for private reading, sipping, or web-surfing. But I notice that only one of the four cubbies has a side table for newspapers, mags, coffee cups, laptops, etc. Having just started painting my end tables the day before, they are fresh on my mind. I think to myself, "I wonder if they are in need of end tables?" I mention this to Rachel, and she and I both agree that I should ask Petra, one of the owners. So I do on our way out of the shoppe. She asked me what color they were and if I could send her a photo via Facebook? I said that I definitely would.
After finishing the tables yesterday, I took some final photos and sent them to Swank. via Facebook last night. I hadn't heard back from them by about 10:45 this morning, so I put the end tables in the back of my car, and left to pick my son up from preschool. After I picked him up, I swung by Swank. and met Jessica outside, explained my story about talking to Petra last Friday and my end tables. She invited me in the shoppe, asked me more about the tables, and if I would mind leaving them for a few hours until Petra returned to the shoppe later in the afternoon? I left the tables and my phone number and headed home.
A few hours later I receive a message via Facebook from Petra that she liked the tables and wanted to buy them! Bingo!! I literally jumped up out of my desk chair and ran into my bedroom jumping for joy (quietly so I wouldn't wake my son from his nap)!! It was a great feeling! How very satisfying...that someone appreciated my work and wanted it for their shoppe. Makes me want to work even harder now!
Thanks again Petra and Jessica! If you're ever in the area, Swank. Coffee Shoppe and Handmade Market is a fantastic little shoppe....yummy coffee and fabulous handmade gifts from local artists. Go in and get your Swank on :o)
