Spring HEAT!

Looking at the date of our last blog, it is fair to say something has been going on. Yes. You don't want to hear about that stuff.
Moving on, Jahnelle and I have found our rhythm. Sales rhythm that is. We have been noticing what our customers are buying and others on Etsy as well. Spring purchasing is still strong, but Summer is booming. Hats, sexy light nighties, and sundresses are a few of the popular picks right now. Remember, it's Spring the world in in heat! Everybody is feeling the love someway or another.
I feel proud that we are expanding sales, taking better photos for our shop, and most of all, I love reading our positive feedback. Having happy customers feels good. Jahnelle and I talk constantly about how we can make our business better. This month we are having a sale on all our prom and wedding items. Both of us love fashion history and researching our items. J is on a mission to learn more about Josephine Bastone. We have one of her dresses waiting to jump onto our shop but... it has to wait until we can come up with the right pricing photos and accurate dating. We pride our selves of this.
New and other projects.... Well. Jahnelle has become quite the sewing lady. Her ideas are now coming to life. You should of seen her leather neck choker with glittery rhinestones, FUN! And myself, I'm a costumer for a local children's theater as well. The older kids are doing a spoof on Project Run. Water bottle, grapes, watermelon, and my favorite carrot bride are a few of the costumes I had to create in the past 3 days. Two weeks ago it was cod pieces and fake breast is bodice for the local AFE homeschool plays. Balancing all this and having a business is intense. Oh yeah, did I tell you the US Census hired me! That's another fun story.
As ReCultivation expands, I look forward to sharing our experiences with you. Remember to catch the wave this Spring... we're enjoying the ride!
