    Rocky,

    Glad to hear that the festival went well! Selling 80 and orders for 25 seems to me like an absolute bonanza. Assuming an 8 hour day for each of the three days, that is over 5 kilt sales an hour!!

    Note to self, kilt making might be a good alternative to corporate America!

    friday was 5 to 10 (plus set up time of a couple hours)
    sat was 9 am to 11 pm
    sun was 9 am to 8 pm (plus tear down).

    TRUST me... this past weekend was NOT typical. Kelly and I aren't rich (yet)... wait till we open the new shop and branch out into other areas... THEN we'll be rich! hahaha

    So 30 hours versus the 24 I used, so the real sales rate was more like over 4 per hour! Still a phenomenal sales rate for this kind of item. I am not looking to get rich, just looking to have more fun at my jobe and be able to wear what I want. I think being happy with what you do, and not necessarily the money (but that is nice too!) is important. Money can make misery and unhappiness bearable, but true happiness doesn't rely on money!

    Keep up the good work and enjoy a day off! Of course, as long as that does not impact my kilt delivery :-) !

    Just kidding! Actually, I am thinking of upgrading to one of your semi-traditional kilts. When do you need to know? I will also send you a PM.
