galeria dos sonhos

Yesterday we plugged away in the sewing school. It is such slow work at times. Andrea wants to take a suitcase full of our things to sell in London. She leaves next week, therefore I am anxious to get her a nice range of items. Everything they do still has to be really monitored and each line examined before moving on to the next step. I am learning along with them. We could potentially have our own space! The perfect room is opening up and I am praying that it is the perfect fit for us. We are still trying to run as a small business and paying these girls daily salaries and we need to start making money and working more productively. Our own room, instead of an outdoor hut, will help.

We were approached by a coffee shop in Atlanta who wants to sell our things! It will change our strategy slightly as we will sell wholesale, but those sells coupled with our Etsy page should create some income. If you know of a shop interested in selling our goods, let me know. We are also keen to just place items in a shop and give the business a percentage of sells. We are having fun and anxious to see where this goes. At the same time, these girls desperately need jobs and this income is transforming them. We need to find ways to make the business sustainable. I know it can be done and that the right businesses for our products will find us. Come on Anthropologie!
