Upside on skilled trade

We get crushes on customers. It's true, someone comes in and wows our socks off and we want to be BFF's with them instantly.  Often they're quirky, crafty, lively - they pique our interest and inspire us fully.

Donna Kim is one of those lovely muses. A few weeks back she came in and bought 5 rush seat dining chairs, to use in her home and as seating at her studio, Edge Of Your Seat, where she restores woven projects. A master at weaving - cane, reed, cord, you name it - Donna is bitten. Within the first minutes of our conversation, she had already mentioned that she was simultaneously studying my scarf and trying to determine how it was made. And of course we love when we meet people who are passionate about something, and have the opportunity to make a living from it! Donna's prices are very reasonable, it is a labour intensive craft and unfortunately one of many dying art forms, but it's the quality of her work that stands out. When we delivered the chairs, we got the privilege of peeking into her studio and ogling the pieces and definitely got a deeper sense of who she was through her work. The whole time she was very open, bright, informative and sincere(all the best qualities in a BFF of course) and afterward we couldn't help but feel as if we had met her before. And comfort should be the key right? This is the path toward better business practice, building relationships between client and entrepreneur. So if you have an investment piece(s) kickin' about your place, something perhaps a lil' beaten,  something woven in need of a lil' TLC, get in touch with Donna. Your furniture has never been in better hands.
