Hello Orchid: I hope everyone is doing well. I just wanted to say
that this is turning out to be a great season so far. On the retail
side of the business, my boss says we have had record sales in the
days before Thanksgiving. We believe people are feeling that the
economy is getting better and are ready to spend for gifts that they
have held back on for the past couple years. On the custom and
repair side of the business, I am slammed. I think it’s going to be
on of those long Decembers. So I’ll break out my Christmas music
CD’s and work my tail off and I’ll remember that it’s all about
making people happy. So get ready all you Bench Jewelers for the
time to shine is now. Who knows maybe you’ll get a good bonus this
year if sales are great and you’ve been working hard. Michael R.
