More Books I Bought…
I wanted to finish out the list of books that I purchased for unsuspecting customers at Page & Palette the week I was there. I am taking the titles from the receipts and it appears that some of them are shortened so the titles are not all complete. The $500 of our $1500 expenditure went [...]
Loving it in the Trenches
I cannot believe that my time here is coming to an end. It is early. I wanted to get here ahead of the TV people and just have a few minutes to chill. Last night was amazing. Page & Palette held a customer appreciation sale from 5-8 PM where customers could buy one item and [...]
Working Hard for the Money
Well, today is Sunday and I am in the Latte Da Cafe at Page & Palette in Fairhope, Alabama. It is a beautiful day. I imagine it is about 70 degrees outside and sunny on this December 17th. This is my third day working in the bookstore and things are a tiny bit slow today [...]
Can I Open a Store Called Booksense?
Let’s talk about how this trip came to be. I’ve had a few stores ask me why not them…why weren’t they asked or considered or put on the tour. When in New York City with the SIBA Board of Directors, I commented at dinner that I really needed to spend some time in a bookstore [...]
Rock & Roll – Books & Bells
It has certainly felt like Christmas and I feel like Santa on Dec. 26th. Patrick and I have spent today in a beautiful house on the river. I slept most of the day. And I do not have internet access so I am typing up my blog to post once I get to Page & [...]
What A Day…
Well, I wrote this post last night at 1 am and then when I tried to publish it got kicked off the internet and am now writing this from Horton’s Books & Gifts in Carrollton, GA and I have quickly spent my $100. I wanted to put together a quick post and will take some [...]
Giving is Good!
I am already having so much fun. My cameraman/husband and I went off to Happy Bookseller yesterday. We had to argue in advance to make sure we were late to meet Natasha from The State Newspaper and I would say it was all Patrick’s fault but that would be a lie. I was surprisingly nervous [...]
Cold Turkey!
I have so much to be thankful for and for some reason, I have spent the last few weeks focusing on all of the things in my life that are not going the way I’d like and I am spending this holiday time turning all of that around. It is not easy. I am basically [...]
What is Wrong with Me?
Do we all ask this question or is it just me? I certainly hope I am not alone in this. Well – where have I been? I have been losing the same damn weight again!!! Yesterday morning, I weighed 189. This is an old old story but I’m telling it anyway. The trade show weigh [...]
Depressed & Distressed
Well, it has been awhile, no, and I have yet to get on the scale since I got back from SIBA. I think I ended my last post with “and I’ve been eating ever since” and that is just too true. So – I have spent today (Sunday) rolling around in the bed and wondering [...]
