Wow!  Where did August go?  Pivot Gallery and Boutique has now been open for an entire month!  Needless to say it has consumed all of my time.  Well that, moving, running my own etsy store, being ill, being a mom, you name it and it happened this month!  I feel like I need a month long vacation but no rest for the ambitious.  Though my schedule for home life kicks up a notch with Zoe going to pre-school two days a week and then her gymnastics one day a week I am going to have to find a way to balance all my commitments.

I know many people have been eager to find out how Pivot’s first month went so I figured a recap post would be the prefect thing.  Around 70% of our artists had sales, pretty amazing in my opinion.  We had a great first month.  In addition to covering overhead we had enough to reinvest in some booth fees for art shows.  What does this mean?  Great promotional opportunities!  This coming weekend we have a booth in Oktoberfest that is help right outside our doors.  Most of the storefront is blocked visually so we felt a booth was the best way to get foot traffic.  We only get one weekend off after heading to Chicago for the Renegade Craft Fair.  We aren’t stopping there though!  We are currently working hard to finish uploading merchandise to the website so that we can offer another avene to our customers for purchasing.  Make sure you watch the site for the big web shop debut.

In the meantime I am posting some more pics of the shop in action for your enjoyment.
