Pewter, pewter, pewter.

Yesterday I received a large box with about a thousand dollar's worth of pewter. Pewter pretties! I love boxes with pretties arriving, especially since each pretty will pass through my hands at least five times.

0) Open the box and squee. Pretties! Okay, put everything back, we'll get back to it when we're not about to have dinner.
1) Open the box again, find the list and check if everything's there.
2) Print out sub-order(s) and go through the pile to select the orders
3) Everything that's not yet on the website needs to be photographed. Out of the zip-loc, onto a white background, picture, back in the zip-loc, next!
4) When people order it through the website, I need to pack the order and send it.
5) At a fair, the products need to be displayed properly, so we make a pretty display of all the pretties!

There were cloak clasps, cufflinks, brooches, necklaces... all pewter, all pretty. TC is not the easiest to buy from and shipping, handling, VAT and customs all add up, but when you order this much, you can't help but squee a bit...
Okay, a lot.

Last night we went to the fitness centre together. I can't help but feel great after a good workout. Last two weeks I felt bloated, tired, exhausted, and listless. After last night, I feel energetic and healthy, even if my arms are made of spaghetti and the rowing makes my back muscles ache.
Exercise is good!

See, every time a package arrives, it's Christmas all over again:) (well, except for the relatives, icky food and Christmas decorations...)

Pretties! Will you be at the Midwinter Fair this year? I may take a look at the new pretties. ;)
