Doin' Business

Today was a good day because I was able to get out and do some "business" for my business. I needed that after my hour and a half at the dentist this morning (to be followed by two more extensive appointments with them at the end of the month... yikes!).

I first went to a B&B where I had an appointment with the lady who coordinates weddings there. But she stood me up. Luckily someone found the owner for me, a brusque elderly man who showed me around. Let's just say that I wasn't very impressed with the site, the location, or the fact that I had been stood up.

From there I went and delivered a gift basket I had made from Michael & his dad. The reaction from the recipient was so much fun. I loved being able to do that!

While there I got a call back from one of numerous messages I had left yesterday at wedding sites around the area. This couple has a large parcel of land out in the country, near a lake, where they do weddings. I didn't get to see the actual site yet, but I did go meet with the couple where they were working at the wine bar in the Spruce Goose museum. They were a kick! She poured me a complimentary glass of wine and I took a couple sips to be polite. I must say, it actually wasn't all that bad. Anyway, we really hit it off. The lady, Beret, would like to link up with me and work very closely together. Woo-hoo! :) And she gave me quite a few referrals. That was an extremely successful visit! Beret and I even have plans for a large event. I don't want to say anything more about it yet, but she put me in touch with the person who could help us make it happen. I meet with her on Tuesday.

I just know that one (or more) of these contacts is going to pay off at some point...
