Ugh.

It seemed like a lot of fun.  Design some jewelry and maybe sell some of it and take some pictures and have an excuse to write a little something – all things I like to do.  Score!  Then I started thinking about some of the other details – how am I going to package it?  Do I go eco-friendly or cheap?  Do I get padded envelopes or the set price boxes from the post office?  If I choose small jewelry boxes and padded envelopes, should I stamp the top with something?  Like a pretty little design.  Or a customized stamp with the Scarlet & Madrone logo.  I could get a customized stamp!  Or maybe get boxes pre-stamped with the logo.  Oh!  And can I get an embosser?  Yes.  I want an embosser.  And yes, I’m getting carried away with all the small details and forgetting the larger infrastructure of creating a…well, I’m not really sure what it is yet, but there are other, larger issues at hand before the nitty gritty.  Like setting up a shop to sell some items.  Or maybe even a price list. Or getting a resale license or a business license or something to make this a little more legit.
None of that stuff sounds like any fun.
