A Little Treat To Unwrap

{finished pieces, inventory sheet, notecard and a little something chocolate...}
Yesterday I drove up to Saratoga Springs, New York to deliver some jewelry to the amazing Mimosa Gallery on Beekman Street.

I remember at a business conference a presenter told how he always added a hard candy to his orders to give the person who had to unpack and enter inventory a little treat. Hard candy never would do it for me personally, so I've been adding a piece of chocolate to my orders ever since! 

I took a lot of charming pictures of Mimosa Gallery (the owner is a well known handbag designer!) and the shops in the Beekman Street Arts District of Saratoga and will share them with you later this week!

    Pillows and textiles...chocolate melts, things would get ugly in my business but I like the touch! I've been adding lavender sachets for years to orders as a surprise but one client turned out to be highly allegic so now I ask if they like lavender. The things we have to go through to make someone's day huh?

    Oh lovely! That is such a great idea! Everyone loves a piece of chocolate. I'm going to tell my friends to do the same, maybe Ghiraddelli choc from San Fran...

    Life's joy is really in the little things...and I know the person opening up your packages has a moment of joy when they see something for them!! So sweet!
