Swedish hates me.
No, Swedish doesn't hate me-- but I did try for FOUR hours to carve this "HEJ." ("Hi", you know.)
I thought it'd be simple, but I should know simple is hard.
I tried "HEJ!" first, but it looked reminiscent of "HEIL".
Anyway, it never did quite balance.
Uff da! (That's Norwegian the way egg foo young is Chinese. That is, sort of.)
Well... It's all good learning.
Joanne of the beautiful tea towels, who has long experience selling her weaving wares at shows, left such a helpful comment, I'm posting it here, so I can remember it.
Marching orders!
"In case I didn't say this already, please make up at least a hundred, and book yourself into a farmer's market or street fair next year.
Print them on anything you can find.
Do not include an envelope.
Consider how much is the cost of the venue and price to earn ten times the cost of the show if you sell out.
You can set up at a show with as little as your folding chair with a golf umbrella strapped to it. Carry your cash in a fanny pack.
And be sure to get a temporary sales tax permit, and either charge it separately or include it in your price.
Ask me anything you may want to know. I may have an answer."
Thank you, Joanne!
I will do it.
My question is---why not include an envelope?
