Back into the studio

I am really spending a lot of time prepping for Pure.
It is taking so much time, money, energy, attention as I have not done such a show before, so there are many Firsts. Like, boxes. The old boxes for the cufflinks were of cardboard, and caused all sorts of tarnishing problems. As I was new to this, it took me months to figure out what was happening.
Finally I returned them, to the, oh so British, cry of: "well, no-one else has complained..." and splashed out, again, on some beautiful gun metal ones that should do justice to a lovely product.
Tables have to be designed and constructed. Displays have to be ditto. Video,  machinery to be booked (extra). Demos have to be planned. Cards have to be counted and reordered, maybe. Lists made, mailings done. Clothes thought about.  And even, more jewellery made!   But once I have been through it once it should get easier.
