many exciting changes.

wow, the past couple of months have been a whirlwind! The Upstairs Room was shut down for about a month and half in order to fill my first real bulk order for a pet boutique. i re-opened in may, business was starting to pick up again, and then i decided to move! hectic! not to mention trying to find time to dj, work on my various other projects, keep orders moving, find time to hang out with friends AND unpacking (oh, the endless unpacking)! needless to say, i've been a wee bit exhausted in recent weeks.

but now i'm settled in, rested up, and ready to focus on work. there is SO much new merchandise up in the store, and lots more on the way. the vet proposals are in the process of being prepared, and this will add a whole new dimension to The Upstairs Room. after doing the recent bulk order for the pet boutique, i realized i really enjoy doing wholesale work. i look forward to doing business with vet clinics and other pet retailers in the near future!

some other news: in the next couple of months, i will be opening another etsy store (shop name to be determined!). i've decided to devote all of The Upstairs Room to catnip toys and plush toys, and open a separate shop for my jewelry, hair accessories, and other baubles. i will be running this new store with my fabulously stylish friend claire. more on that soon!

customer appreciation photos (i.e. happy kitties wrestling their toys) also to come soon (really, i promise this time)!
