I am back from New York since Wednesday where the shopping related credit card damage got not into substantial area. I guess I was just too busy meeting people and talking. Imagine: I did not even buy jeans… A few books on illustrations and packaging are on the shopping list and decorate the coffee table now. I am looking forward to getting inspired and learning how other illustrators work.
One of the reasons to get to NY: I visited MIN, the niche perfumery in the middle of New York and loved it so much! Thus, you will soon see me there again, presenting Tauer flacons and juices.
Since I am back I am rather busy getting things done. I just finished an interview this instance and will soon head down to the factory, bottling Orange Star, the last 100 bottles of the last batch. I am still in a waiting position for the new batch. Besides Orange Star that should go into production in this month, I have other sourcing issues. Zeta is on the waiting list and I am down to 50 bottles. And no stock. Getting raw materials has become an issue again these days.
Thus, all back to normal. Perfumery business is also very much a logistics business. A rather tough logistics business. I have to work on that over the weekend. It will be rather long and busy.
Optimistic as I am , I am looking forward to actually mixing and getting some production done in January and February, in order to get ready for spring 2012. NY will hopefully soon see me again. I plan to go there again in March. I guess I will buy jeans then. On another happy travel note: I just booked my Paris train ticket. But Paris is worth another post.
Today’s picture shows you some perspective: Metro in New York.
Glad you had a nice trip to NYC! I may be going there this year and it would be nice to stop in at MIN and find some Andy Tauers!!
I’m wearing Miriam today.
Greetings Breathgelatin
You will love the shop for sure! I will wear Miriam later tonight
Is this one of the Hoyt Street stations, Andy? Were out in Brooklyn as well doing perfume stuff? Definitely some nice jeans on your next visit. Have you ever visited the Frick Collection museum on East 70th Street? Not so well known and well worth the time.
