Everyone throws it around. People ask more than ever, "How's the store?" or "Doin' alright?". Yes, thank you for your concern. And, I do worry, things are weird, different, and I try and actively manage how I buy, why I'm buying, etc. Everyone was focused on the retail and buyers side.
What I did not see coming was the evaporation of some of my favorite wholesalers, suppliers, artists, etc. The shocking email that OneUp, my number one seller and just a fabulous product line would be shut down immediately. I even had orders in place (that customers were waiting for!!) that would not be filled.
And then there was the flurry of orders I got for this guy:
Who I learned had been discontinued for manufacturing reasons, and would never be brought back. I loved this deer head.
So, I'm left to find replacements for some really amazing, well received best sellers. Oh, this economy....
