Purrtosa Is Still Hanging In There

You know, given the fact that a tiny specialty store usually doesn't 'make it' even when the economy is good, Purrtosa is still going strong a year after it's been opened.  Kudos to them! 

She has a small store the size of a living room, which has the merchandise rearranged regularly to keep 'fresh', and most of the time there's a live cat there that's up for adoption as well.  She works with the local rescues and has placed several cats in new homes that way. 

I dropped off a box of items to her a week ago and have been making Valentine's Day cat toys over the past few weeks to deliver as well.  She wants seasonal which is great. Anything that doesn't sell by the end of that particular season I trade out for new stuff, so it's not a hardship for her to move them at half price or anything.  I'm surprised there were still two Santa Hat toys left out of what I got to her last month, but hey, I'll take them back again.

Next holiday is St. Patrick's Day.  I've never done anything specific for that one before so I'll have to think on that.  I'd make shamrock mice but she already has two mouse toy suppliers and didn't want more mice.   The Easter selection will be a lot easier -- bunnies, eggs, carrots.

After that is 4th of July.  Then Thanksgiving.
