Taking a break.

Today I went to look at commercial real estate spaces for an office for Rocco e Dante. I have to say its very stressful to look at real estate. You have to sign a long term lease, its expensive and you never know as small business owner what the future holds. In this economy in the fashion industry its rather fickle. The good thing is that I also do freelance on the side so it helps to keep the $$ coming in if sales are slow. I found this incredible loft, but I am still waiting to hear if we are in or as they say on that reality fashion show, "OUT"

So this weekend I decided to take a break and go camping with my parents, family and my adorable loyal pug Rocco. I have to say its a well needed break. I can only look at handbags and tradeshows for so long before I start to feel insane. I mean I feel like I eat handbags, its that bad. I have handbags in every room of my house (even the pantry has been converted to a sample room.) and even in my office they are everywhere. I have leather and hardware swatches coming out of my ears literally. Its too much. I have expanded to the point where I have no choice but to take it to the next level and open a proper showroom, its just trying to find the right space.

I need a break..so I am going to try to sleep in a tent. My dad said I could sleep in the RV with him and Mom but he snores to high heaven so that is not going to happen. Its time to tune out for a change. But I did hear that cell phones work in the campground. Should I leave my iphone at home? I can answer emails to China and Italy from my iphone from the tent. Ha ha. Really its time to tune out. Time to stop the madness. I answer emails from factories in the middle of the night while i am in bed. Stop the madness. Should I move to this cabin???
