We're busy with guests and were in Tahiti last week for another salon du tourisme, so the poor blog is on the back-burner :-(. This salon was busier than ever, and I'm happy to report that we'll have plenty of work to do over the next few months, just a shame we seem to have lost our slow period in november somewhere along the way.......who needs a holiday anyway!!!
The soaps and monois have also been going down well, both at the salon but also locally, I have people dropping by almost every day to check out my products, I'm going to have trouble to keep the stocks going in between the jams, the guests and the girls! It's actually quite a nice place to be, for the moment........running your own business is very satisfying....albeit exhausting too....... A couple of days in Tahiti was exactly what I needed, a change of scene and a change of pace after a little bit too long on the island (I was amused at just how excited I was to see so MANY cars and houses in one place as we came in to land in Tahiti!!!). We got a couple of almost life size shots of Viriamu on horseback and some whales printed up, just in time, I was quite pleased by the visual impact.....
The salon is also a lot of fun for us, meeting so many friends, old and new, and just generally being part of the buzz......
The down side of the salon was that we left the girls behind.....they were not too pleased, but we were only gone a few days and made up for it with a few exciting little presents - Matotea nearly swooned over her Disney Princesses coloring book! Heimana was less easily convinced by our lame attempts at bribery, though she wouls grudgingly put on her super cute Dora the Explorer backpack......on the understanding that she was allowed to get on the school truck with Matotea.....roll on next year!
And now it feels like we've never been away....
