The workshop on a Friday

Today was one of those all over the place days. It started at home cooking breakfast, then it went to dropping packages off at the post office, to running errands before those with normal 9-5 work weeks get off work. I just really love to beat the traffic on a weekday, it’s one of those amazing entrepreneurship perks.

I made it back to the Nest, the workshop, before the kids started getting out of school. Most of us in Logan Square Chicago can feel a sense of celebration in the neighborhood because of Mexico Independence Day. It’s fun watching the kids and celebrators walk or drive past.

Today I had a visit from an out of town customer who is here enjoying a weekend here in Chicago! They wanted to see a Katie Hip Bag she liked in the web store. She snagged it after trying it on and is planning to wear it this weekend at Riot Fest.

All of our hip bag style have been flying out the door! I actually have a small RTS drop I’m listing in the Ready To Ship collection on 9/25 at 8am CST. There will also be Crossbody Tote Bags, a Mini Brittany Convertible Bag, Pouches, Wallets, more Fringe Tassels.

Since Fridays are my admin days, I spent a lot of time doing inventory, ordering materials, planning out a run with the production team I hire to help build inventory, moving around money, and planning for workshop duties next week. It’s a fun day. All this admin work makes me feel like the week is a done deal.

Here are some photos I took in the Nest today. I forgot to mention I rearranged a tiny bit. Felt different today. Enjoy! ❤️ Alexz
